Wow just WOW! 10/10 - I don’t even know how to explain how much fun me and my daughter had on this boat! Gage and Bo were phenomenal! We only booked a 4 hour trip and within an hour I caught about a 180 lb blue! Something I’ve just dreamed of. They were super chill, laid back but so much fun! Without a doubt, I’ll be back! I’m gonna start saving for the trip when I get back to Nashville! If you book with someone else… well all I can say is sorry!

Zero bites - We had a great day, even though we had no bites. The boat was very clean, roomy and plenty of space. A couple of us even climbed up To the “tuna tower”. Cowboy Kona is a surprisingly young but very Knowledgeable crew, they were helpful, considerate, upbeat and very relaxed. We had a beautiful day. We would book with them again

First time fishing in Hawaii - these guys do it RIGHT! - As an avid fisherman traveling to Hawaii for the first time, I was VERY cautious as to who I would choose to charter my once in a life time fishing trip. After loads of recommendations from everyone on the island, I decided I would give the Kona Cowboys the chance to wow me and let me tell you, they did that AND MORE. The guys were 10/10 when it came to their fishing knowledge - the captain knew exactly where to go to catch the big fish, the deckhands were quick and on point and the atmosphere was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience here in Hawaii! Would recommend these guys every day of the week!

Caught a fish - The captain and his mate were very nice. We were a group of non-fisherman. No judgment. We were hoping for a few more fish, but they did not show up, but we were very happy to catch a huge yellow fin tuna. They gave us a couple pounds of the fish to take home and grill, so all in all, a great experience. I would highly recommend this charter.

Great Captain and Mate - We had a great time on the Kona Cowboy. Captain Gaige worked very hard to get our youngest son his marlin. He and his mate made us feel very comfortable and saw to our needs. We have been on several charter trips and Kona Cowboy was by far the best. We will definitely book with them again.

Kona Cowboys for the WIN!!! - My brother-in-law and my nephew (11yo fish’aholic) booked Kona Cowboys and highly recommend! This was our 3rd sport fishing charter (Cabo & San Diego) and by far the best! Gaige & Nānoa clearly knew what they were doing and offered an amazing experience. They helped us whenever needed and gave us helpful tips the entire time. Customer service wise, they constantly checked to make sure we had what we needed and were comfortable. Pulled in 3 blue marlins and couldn’t be happier!

Well worth your time! - What a great time on the Kona Cowboy! While we didn’t catch any fish, I would highly recommend taking the time to just enjoy the ocean and views. My 7 year old son had an excellent time! The crew was top notch and the boat was immaculate. I would 100% go again with the Kona Cowboy!

Best fishing in Kona! - Great crew! Boat was stocked with goodies and a relaxing spot to sit while waiting for the fish to bite. My 8 year old was given proper introduction to reel in a 400lb Marlin(with a little help from his dad and the crew). Great day on the water! Can’t wait to cowboy up on our next visit to Kona!
