Marinas & Boat Ramps in Kailua-Kona

2 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Marinas and boat ramps are the launch points and home base for anyone fishing from their own boat. Public boat ramps are often free or charge a small launch or parking fee, while full-service marinas add slips, fuel docks, bait, pump-outs and sometimes a shop or restaurant. If you trailer a boat, the ramp is where the day starts - and details like ramp condition, tide access, parking for trailers and hours matter as much as anything. Facilities and fees vary a lot from a simple concrete ramp to a large marina, so it helps to know what a location offers before you arrive. The listings here help you find ramps and marinas by city and state.

How much does a fishing charter cost in Kailua-Kona? +
Most Kona charters run about $700-$1,600 depending on trip length and whether the boat is shared or private. Full-day marlin trips sit at the top of that range. Confirm the all-in price with the operator.
What can you catch on a Kona fishing charter? +
Pacific blue marlin, yellowfin tuna (ahi), mahi-mahi, ono (wahoo) and spearfish are the main targets, all taken trolling lures in deep water close to shore.
When is the best time to catch marlin in Kona? +
Kona holds billfish year-round because of its warm, deep water close to the harbor, though summer is traditionally the peak for the biggest blue marlin.
