“Fishing trip of a lifetime”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 17, 2010

We recently spent a half day sportfishing with Capt. Teddy and Joe on the Kila-KIia in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. This trip was a very exciting and productive one, as my son finally after years of waiting was on his first sportfishing trip. The Kila-Kila is an impressive and beautiful charter boat (modern, air conditioned cabin, head, fridge) and... More

Teddy and Josh were very patient with us (five amateurs and a rusty senior) giving expert instruction and working the boat and the lines in impressive harmony. The boat is... More

Wow, what at rush. The Captain, Teddy Hoggs and his crew were amazing. These guys live and breathe fishing. They've lived in Kona most of their lives. We're personally convinced they know as much about sport fishing and about the amazing fishing grounds off the Kona coast than any crew out there. ... And the Kila Kila is beautiful. We'll... More
