The Playtime Sportfishing Experience
Kailua-Kona has a fish with your name on it, so let Playtime Sportfishing help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Shawn, allowing you to benefit from years of professional experience. Captain Shawn, a lifelong resident of Hawaii and Alaska Shawn has been fishing since before he could walk.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Shortbill Spearfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and anything else that bites. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Shawn also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea!
Your day begins aboard a 26’ Shamrock sportfishing vessel that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
It’s recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Playtime Sportfishing is just a click away.
Testimonies
Tim H.: Excellent Trip 6 Stars! “The trip was excellent. The Captains did a fantastic job of getting multiple lines in the water to maximize our trolling efforts. They kept an eye out for birds feeding on bait fish as well as tuna feeding on the surface. When certain setups were not working they switched to try something else. Towards the end of the charter, BAM, Fish On! We landed an ~ 120lb ahi tuna. I don’t know who was more excited, us or the Captains! Great day and great experience on the water. Highly recommend these guys!”
Frank H. Great Trip Caught Two Nice Marlin “My wife and I had a great trip fishing with Sean and Jordan. These guys are professional, have a great boat and equipment and know how to use it. They both were very friendly and helpful. Jordan shared a lot of knowledge he has learned in several years as a Captain about the environment and fishing off of Kona. We caught a blue marlin (about 100#s) and a striped marlin (about 35#s). Jordan fileted the smaller marlin and shared the catch. Highly recommend this trip. We caught fish when the boats around us were having little if any success.”
