Mahalo for such an incredible review and for sharing your experience with us!

That’s exactly why we never quit early, you just never know when that last-minute bite is going to happen. Getting a shot at ahi right away definitely had everyone excited, and while they didn’t stick, it sounds like the ocean had one more surprise waiting for Darlene at the very end!

A short billed spearfish is an incredibly special catch and not something many anglers get to experience. We’re so glad Logan and Dean were able to guide her through the fight and help make it such a memorable moment. Communication and teamwork are a huge part of successfully landing these fish, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both of them.

Thank you again for trusting us with your Kona fishing adventure and for recognizing the effort the crew puts in every day. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you both back out on the water again someday!

Aloha Greg,

It was an absolute pleasure having you, your wife, and the boys out on the water with us. I’m especially glad your son was able to hook into that beautiful blue marlin, that’s a moment that’s hard to beat and one you’ll hopefully all remember for a long time.

I also really appreciate you explaining the difference in the Kona fishery. It truly is a big-game experience, and when it all comes together like that it makes the day pretty special.

Rooster and I had a great time fishing with your family, and we’re grateful you chose to spend your day on the water with us. Hopefully we’ll get another chance to chase the next one together someday!

Aloha Louie,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful and detailed review. It truly means a lot.

Targeting marlin is never something we take lightly—especially when it’s a lifelong dream shared between a father and son. We’re thrilled to hear how much confidence you had in us from the start and that our preparation, attention to detail, and decision-making translated into such an unforgettable experience on the water.

Hooking not one, but two marlin—and seeing your son successfully land one—is exactly why we do what we do. Those once-in-a-lifetime moments are what Reel Escapes Hawaiʻi is all about. We always stay committed right through the end of the trip, doing everything possible to maximize your time and opportunities.

Thank you again for trusting us with such an important experience and for your incredibly kind recommendation. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back on the water anytime you return to Kona.

Aloha Mark,

Mahalo for the amazing review. Truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

That striped marlin was an incredible fish, and you did an awesome job in the chair. Ian is great at what he does, and it’s always fun watching him coach guests through those moments—it’s what makes it all come together. We’re glad you felt the good vibes and had a safe, memorable day out there with us.

Trips like that are exactly why we love what we do. It was a pleasure having you onboard, and we’d be stoked to get you back out again next time you’re on the island.
