“What an 'epic' day!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

I could not believe the boat when we showed up early that morning and that was only the beginning. I had so much fun catching fish, but I have to say my highlight was when Captain Gabe showed me how to land my first Mahi Mahi, man what a day. Huge props to Captain Gabe and his crew, I highly...

“Really fun trip”

Went on a fishing trip with a party of six. First, the boat is really nice and i mean really nice. The cabin has AC and nice leather couches. Second, Capt. Gabe and Joe were awesome. Both very nice and friendly. Joe may be one of the most amazing fisherman I've been around. He has all sorts of methods and... More

“An Unreal Experience!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2012

Fishing on the Kila Kila with Captain Gabe was definitely the coolest thing we did during our stay in Hawaii. The boat itself was beautiful. With polished wood, leather couches, a galley, and two bedrooms, we soon found we were fishing in high style. Captain Gabe had everything all set for us when we got there (beer, sodas, snacks) and...

“Highly Recommend Kila Kila”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2012

Just finished a full day on the water and recommend this boat for anyone visiting Kona. For the avid tournament or bill fish angler this boat has everything. Capt. Gabe is serious about finding fish and he and his crew made me feel right at home in that fighting chair. I have to say I wasn't sure about bringing my... More

“Trip of a life time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2012 via mobile

We had the opportunity to fish with Captain Gabe and had the time of our lives. Beautiful boat, excellent captain and crew, and a wonderful day of fishing! We ended up catching two short bill spearfish and 2 striped marlin. If your thinking of going fishing out of Kona, I would highly recommend fishing aboard the Kila Kila. Thanks again... More
