Skillet Sportfishing runs out of Honokohau Harbor on the Big Island's Kona coast, one of the most productive deep sea fishing grounds anywhere. Deep water close to shore puts blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, and ono within reach just minutes from the harbor, which is why anglers travel from across Hawaii to fish here. Whichever trip length you choose, you are fishing the Big Island's legendary Kona coast.

John and Dave were very professional and kind to me and my kids. Would definitely hit the big water with these two again. Thanks to John, Dave and the Skillet for a great day! Till next year keep those lines tight! Mahalo!
John and Dave were a lot of fun and easy to talk to. My boys and daughter had a great time. In the first 2 hrs we had landed a 200 lb blue marlin and a 50 lb spear fish (missed one other fish). What a great 4 hrs and would do that again in a heartbeat. John thanks for a great time.
John and Dave gave lots of good conversation, information/stories on the area and super easy going. I have been on a number of guided trips and these guys are amongst the best.
Boat and crew well organized, clean and professional. Was able to land some tuna for dinner. The crew was great listeners and were very educational of the sea and land areas. Great coaches on landing the fish. Would come back to this boat next time on the island.
