My son Jack and I went out on the Tropical Sun with Dennis and Ryan and couldn't have had a better time. Jack is 10 and has caught a few river fish before, but this was something else. Dennis and Ryan are incredibly good at what they do, and make it fun- even when the fish aren't biting. And they... More

My whole family had a great time with Captain Dennis. We booked a private charter for me, my 8yr old son, and my brother-in-law and his son. We wanted to focus on catching fish and Captain Dennis delivered! One of the first fish on the line was a mahi mahi that my son was able to reel in and the... More

Bumped into Capt .Dennis as my wife and I were just looking at the boats in the marina. We ended up going fishing and brought along my sister and brother in law. Capt. D and co-Capt. Ryan were great. Capt. D said right from the start that fishing was only so-so right now (Dec 9). Off we went at 0630... More

We met Captain Dennis on the airplane on our way to vacation on the Big Island. Taking a boat out into the tropical waters seemed like something that we wouldn't be able to do with a 3 year old and a 5 year old. Boy, were we wrong!! It was one of the most memorable and fun experiences we have... More

Capt D and co-Capt Ryan were great. These guys work their butt's off to make your trip memorable. Capt. D advised up front that the fishing was off at this time of year. Ha, we still caught fish and had a super time. The boat and equipment were top of the line. We will be back this August. Thx. Steve,Lynn,Doug&Jaime.... More

Aloha Capt. D! Thank you again for a very enjoyable trip with my 7 year old daughter, her 4 year old cousin and my brother. Your kind patience and ability to customize this trip for all of us made a great trip for all. I look forward to our next trip, fly fishing for mahi mahi. Cheers, John Miao xcaliburrods.com More

My husband and I heard such great things about Captain "D" (Dennis) and Tropical Sun from our hotel, that it was easy for us to make our decision on which boat to charter out for fishing. And I have to say that the Captain and Ryan not only lived up to our expectations but surpassed them. Friendly, hospitable, extremely knowledgeable... More

Don't bother looking for another boat in Kona! These Guys know how to catch fish. We caught a 150lb Blue Marlin before we had all of our lines out. 5 minutes into our Trip! Clean very well kept boat. Captain Dennis took the time to explain everything and you can tell by listening to him that he is very passionate... More

Captain Dennis was recommended to us by The Four Seasons Concierge. Tiare hit a 4 bagger! I have an avid fisherman son who is 18 and a 13 year old daughter who went along so I would take her horseback riding. In 4.5 hours the Captain managed to get several Billfish strikes, take me to see two pods of wild... More
