Epic Fishing - Captain Gaige and Bo did an amazing job putting us on the fish. My wife and I landed a Spearfish, Blue Marlin, and 3 Yellowfin Tuna. We had a few more bites that got away. Excellent, clean boat with updated electronics. Will absolutely fish with them again.

Fabulous Fishing for All - 2 days with Captain and Crew led to 20 different kinds of fish caught including a Blue Marlin, Yellow Tail, Tuna And Mahi Mahi. Captain and Crew were helpful, funny, and fish pouncers. For a novice and the more advanced, this is a delightful time spent with a team that loves fishing.

Great day on the water - I had a great time the Gaige and Bo, they did a great job, communication was great, punctual, clean, comfortable boat. I never base my review of fishing charters on the catch, rather how hard they work and did I think they put it all into my experience. In this case it was first rate. I did catch two great fish as a huge bonus!!!!

Mission Accomplished - My 19 year old son has been deep sea fishing for the last 7 years and decided to try and catch a blue marlin. We booked the all day charter and indeed were able to obtain one! The first mate Bo did an excellent job explaining how to reel in the fish and use the chair- more thorough than other charters we have been on. The captain, Gage, also did a great job with the boat while getting the fish. The boat itself had plenty of space inside and was very comfortable. Also one of the cleanest boats we have been on. Chips and drinks were provided.

Marlin Fishing - Fantastic Adventure! I highly recommend deep sea fishing with Captain Gaige and first mate Ryan. I have been bill fishing three times and this was definitely my best experience. Captain Gaige is young and enthusiastic as well as very knowledgeable about fishing in Kona area. It was impressive to watch Ryan work nonstop maintaining/changing the fishing lines while simultaneously keeping boat deck clear of clutter while carrying on conversation with you. We were fortunate to catch a blue Marlin and Capt. Gaige and Ryan did all they could to help me reel in my first blue marlin. Ryan even served us some sashimi from some freshly caught Skipjack tuna! The fishing trip on Cowboy Kona was the highlight of our vacation week.

What an experience! - From the moment I stepped onto the boat I felt right at home. Captain Gaige and first mate Ryan find the perfect balance of being hardcore fisherman but also easy going guys who are great fun to spend a day out on the water with. I’m an avid fisherman but the knowledge between those two boys about fishing blew me away. The boat was very well maintained and the equipment preformed without a flaw. You can tell these guys really love what they do and put everything they can into making it a great experience. Whether you luck out with a fish or not I can guarantee you’ll have a good time with these guys. Will definitely be back.

EXCELLENT ADVENTURE - AWESOME - two experiences with Ryan and Gaige were super fun. It is called "fishing" and not "catching" for a reason. A captain can find the perfect spot; the first mate can bait a rod with the perfect lure - BUT there is no guarantee they can make the fish bite!!! With that being said we did a 3/4-day trip with only one tuna caught and three days later did a full day (in the same fishing areas) and caught 2 marlin and 2 mahi-mahi. Whether you are lucky enough to catch fish or not, the boat is very comfortable, and Gaige and Ryan do all they can to make the trip pleasant. Both are willing to engage in conversation if that is what you want or let you rest and relax if that is what you want - as Ryan said - "this is the client's trip" and they do make the trip all about the what the client wants. If the fish aren't biting, they will try different spots, lures - whatever they can do to get you a fish. I consider fishing requiring a little luck and they do try to be luckier. Great fun

Highly recommend - My son and I chartered a full day trip with Capt Gaige at Kona Cowboy. We are both experienced at offshore fishing, my son has even fished a number of billfish tournaments in the gulf of Mexico region. We arrived early and Capt Gaige had the boat completely ready to go. Shortly after departing the harbor we had all the lures in the water in an efficient and well practiced manner.... and we were fishing. Early morning action was a bit slow. Capt Gaige never stopped changing tactics, speeds, lures, etc. Just before 11:00 or so we had a nice marlin come into the set and a few tense seconds later then left long began to dump line, we had "fish on". Capt Gaige and my son quickly cleared all the liners and soon we had a nice 275-300# marlin alongside the "Kona Cowboy". After some great photos we released the marlin and continued to fish with another marlin coming in to the set later but we were not able to get him to take take the lure. The day was a perfect day on the water fishing with a knowledgeable, passionate, and professional Captain. We will be back to Kona and when there, we will be fishing with Kona Cowboy again!

Awesome Fishing Experience - Captain Gaige and Captain Ryan were awesome!! They are highly knowledgable about deep sea fishing and go above and beyond to make the experience fun and memorable! We booked a whole day of deep sea fishing while visiting the Big Island. Our son is 9 years old and they were both great with him! He is still talking about his fishing trip 2 weeks after returning home! Needless to say, he had a blast! Even though we didn't catch a Blue Marlin, we did catch 9 mahi mahi-- and had our resort prepare some of it that evening for dinner! Overall, I highly recommend them-- we will definitely book with them when we visit Hawaii again!

Not what we talked about - We text, left vm with questions and was told that we would be able to keep,our catch. We are local and after being told we had to release the Blue Marlin (which we were ok with) they kept the 95 pound yellow fin tuna. Which was extremely frustrating and then we were expected to tip too. When you ask the questions and are old the catch is yours that’s what you expect. We would not have kept the whole fish either, but not even given the option. The Captain was on his phone a lot, I think to find place to fish. We are planning 2 more trips but will find another boat that honors the clients keep the fish.
