Huntress
Sportfishing
Elite Marlin and Pelagic Fishing Adventures
There are a lot of charter boats in Kona. There is only one Huntress.
Since 1973, the Huntress has fished these waters and built a record no other boat in Hawaii can match. More grander marlin than any vessel in the state. A 1,656-pound Pacific blue marlin in 1984. A World Cup win in 2014.
Today, Capt. Jack Leverone runs the Huntress — born and raised in Kona, an IGFA world record holder at 17, and a tournament winner. If you want to fish Kona the right way, this is your boat.

The Most Storied Boat in Kona.
Every Huntress charter is private — your group, your boat, your day. We troll offshore for Pacific blue marlin and whatever else is biting: Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Ono (Wahoo), and Mahimahi. Billfish go back. Everything else, we handle on deck.

We're based at Honokohau Marina in Kailua-Kona — 3 miles south of the airport and 3 miles north of downtown. Easy to find, easy to park, right on the water.
Find Us at Honokohau Marina
The bottom drops fast here. A mile from shore and you're in 600 feet of water — big game country. Pacific blue marlin, Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna), Ono (Wahoo), and Mahimahi run these waters year-round.
Kona is why fishing people fly to Hawaii. We troll a 4 to 5 line spread built to find what the fish want that day.
