Can children go on fishing charters?
Yes, children can go on fishing charters. Some fishing charters will have age limits and will not allow kids below a certain age. Most big island fishing charters will let you choose who you want to bring. Such is the case with Nasty Habit. You ultimately decide who gets to go fishing or not, and our Captain Smokey Joe will do his best to help children learn the basics of fishing and help them to catch a fish as well.
Additionally, when you purchase the trip on our private charter you can decide to go in earlier than planned, if need be, due to the needs of younger children. But keep in mind we also have bedrooms, a bathroom, showers, a couch, and a tv if you would prefer to bring the kids along but do not necessarily want them on the deck. Again the decision is yours and you can choose who you would like to have with you on your private big island fishing trip.
How much does it cost to go fishing in Kona?
In Kona it can cost about $900 for a half day charter or up to $3,000 for a full day charter. Going with a cheaper charter means using a public charter and dealing with a boat packed full of anglers doing their best to catch any fish that swims by. Opting for a private charter generally entails a better experience and result.
At Nasty Habit we charge $1,000 for a half day of fishing and $1,600 for a full day. This comes with more amenities than you would find on a public charter and you and 5 friends or family can have the time of your lives. Remember this is cost effective as you could expect to pay more than ten times that for your own boat, tackle and equipment. Especially if you are just planning on visiting the Big Island for vacation, using a private fishing charter will be the best option.
Can nonresidents fish in Hawaii?
Yes, nonresidents can fish in Hawaii. They can choose to fish by themselves using a saltwater license if over the age of 15. It is recommended to take a charter however, as most of the best fishing in Hawaii happens out on the ocean further away from the shore.
Going deep sea fishing on the big island of Hawaii is going to be the highlight of your vacation and using a guide will give you your best chance of catching yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, or even marlin. Just as difficult as it would be for a nonresident to fish in your local area if they did not know the best spots, that is how it can be on the ocean.
Taking out a guide not only ensures a higher chance of success, but with the Nasty Habit, you can do it in style and comfort. With our 51-foot Cabo you can rest easy as we maneuver out to our spot in our comfortable cabin with a TV. You won’t be packed in like sardines on a public fishing boat that does its best to get as many bodies out on the water as possible. Using the Nasty Habit is sure to make your vacation, and fishing experience, worthwhile.
