About this tour

A’u Struck Sportfishing in Kona, Hawaii, delivers big-game fishing thrills without the big price tag. Captain Dave Datz, a seasoned angler with over 45 years of experience, leads the charge aboard a 30-foot Precision flybridge sportfisher equipped with twin diesel engines, top-tier rods and reels, a fighting chair, and an enclosed head. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, this charter offers a personalized and budget-friendly adventure that’s perfect for families and small groups.

With rates starting at $575 for a 5-hour trip and $675 for a 7-hour full-day excursion, A’u Struck accommodates up to three guests aged 10 and above. The crew stocks the boat with complimentary ice, water, and snacks, and asks guests to bring their own lunch and reef-safe sunscreen. Fishing kicks off early, typically 30 minutes before sunrise, ensuring ample time to reel in species like Blue Marlin, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi.

At the end of the trip, Captain Dave will clean and bag one smaller fish (under 30 pounds) for your personal enjoyment, offering a taste of your ocean adventure. The remaining catch stays with the boat, maintaining sustainability and supporting the local fishing community.
