The Nasty Habit boat landed a 1,200 pound plus Marlin!
The Nasty Habit Difference
The Nasty Habit is a 51-foot Cabo yacht, powered by Man turbo engines and offering everything you could want from a Hawaii deep sea fishing charter. The Nasty Habit offers experienced and novice anglers alike the experience that you’d expect from a Kona sportfishing adventure–with a luxurious twist. Unlike other shared charters, the Nasty Habit is more like a Private Jet than a Commercial Airline. It’s wheels up when you say it is, and your reservation is not shared with others.

Testimonials
Just listen to what our guests have to say!
Beautiful charter and great crew!
We had a great experience with Captain Greg and his first mate! They helped us reel in a big one! The boat is beautiful and has all the amenities you would need. I highly recommend taking a trip out with Greg and Chris, you will not be disappointed!

Awesome Captain and First Mate
Our 10 year-old grandson caught a 43 pound ono within 30 minutes. The first mate taught our grandson how to reel in the fish using a proper technique. After our grandson reeled in his ono, a 130 pound marlin was on the line. Unfortunately, the marlin bit through the fishing line. It was an action packed morning on the water. I highly recommend Nasty Habit, the Captain and Crew.

Kona sport fishing at it’s best
Went on a 6hrs charter with Captain Greg and first mate Chris. Capt. Greg did an outstanding job of getting us on the fish and Chris did a stellar job of working the pit. Chris is very energetic, between setting the spread and just working the pit in general made me tired watching him doing it all. Equipment was in good condition (shimano tiagra 130s). An A/C cabin was a major deciding factor for me in booking a charter because it allows you to have a reprieve from the sun or heat when needed, since there’s not a lot of air movement in the cockpit. Rolled into the marina with several more fish flags flying than some of the other charter boats that came in behind us. Looking forward to coming back and going again with these guys.
