After arriving in the Kailua Kona area with family who was not into going out fishing I was looking for an opportunity to go out myself without breaking the bank. Most vessels only do private charters, but for less then $120 you can get out on a shared charted with Bite Me for a half day - and that's what... More

same as some reviews above, not friendly, hung over, lazy, terrible fishing techniques. I do not recommend - find a smaller company that cares

After another service left me and another guy scheduled to go on the same boat high and dry an hour before our trip, bite me was able to get a trip put together for the two of us in about an hour and a half, I wish I could remember her name but she really scrambled to help us out,... More

The sports fishing 4 hour trip - would like to say you get what you pay for, all in all a dismal experience from start to finish. The woman selling the tickets was rude, and had no hesitation in embarrassing guests signing up for the trip who did not tick the box to pre-pay the tip. When the guy in... More

Fished on bite me 5 with lael Wilson! Great captain with lots of knowledge! Hard worker that definitely wants you to catch fish! Very informative and friendly! Would recommend him for a charter! Lady in the charter office was super nice and was informative! All around a great company from the office to the captains!

Tell me where else you can charter a 40 foot fishing boat for 6 hours for $595? The answer is nowhere. We arrived for our 8:00am charter at 7:45 and were fishing before 8:00am. The BITE ME #1 was a very comfortable boat with a great upper deck with room for 6 up high for great views. These boats allow... More

We had three "Captains" with us on this 8 hour full day charter. One of them was still drunk from the night before. All he did was smoke cigarettes all day. Long story short we had one bite in 8 hours. They didn't change the tackle or the methods. Basically drove around aimlessly for 8 hours. Lots of excuses though.... More

Did the 6 hour private charter with wife & the kids (14 & 8). I was not happy with so called fishing experience. I know it's a gamble when trolling for fish but you would think they would know the hot spots since they are the "experts". Every time I asked if this was a good fishing time or spot,... More

Not sure when is the best time of the year to fish in Hawaii, but the girl at the counter in the Bite Me shop made it sound like we would be hauling fish the whole time. Two other very pleasant people shared the "cruise" with us. We spent four hours trolling without a bite. The boat was far enough... More
