Hooked Up Sportfishing
Get 'Hooked Up' for an Unforgettable Fishing Experience in Kona!
Step aboard our spacious 40' Uniflite with Captain Chuck Wigzell and his son Zac for ½, ¾, full-day, or last-minute deep sea charters. With over 30 years of local fishing experience and a strong daily catch record, Hooked Up targets Blue Marlin, Spearfish, Mahi Mahi, Ono, Tuna, and other pelagic species year-round.
Why Choose Hooked Up?
We're one of the very few boats on Fishbooker equipped with a $100,000+ Omni Sonar system—a cutting-edge, 360° real-time fish finder that scans up to 1,500 away from the boat. Most boats simply don't have it. This game-changing technology gives you a major advantage when hunting trophy fish like Blue Marlin. We just installed June 2025 so our catch reports will be rising dramatically.
So why did we do it?
Because we're committed to giving you the best possible shot at
success on the water.
Whether you're a seasoned
angler or it's your first time offshore, this technology gives you an
undeniable edge. We made the investment-because we're invested in your experience.
Fish in Comfort
You'll be fishing from a 40' Uniflite vessel that is spacious and extremely comfortable. She can accommodate up to 6 guests. Onboard, you'll find a variety of top-notch rods, reels, and tackle that make fishing these waters easy and fun for anglers of all ages and abilities. She's also decked out with top-of-the-line navigational and safety gear, as well as large side rails around the cockpit, and a shaded area to relax in. Get ready to travel in comfort and style!
Bonus Perk
After your trip, enjoy a true Kona treat—Captain Chuck's family restaurant, Pancho and Lefty's Cantina, will cook up your fresh catch in downtown Kona! It doesn't get any fresher or better than that.

Ceny Felicitas5.0Verifiedawesome fishing trip
Half Day Big Game Trip (PM) on September 30, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenStarted off slow, but once we got closer to the fishing spots, things really picked up!We landed a 40-pound yellowfin tuna, followed by two big mahis and 1 more tuna! On the way home, we got 2 marlin bites but unfortunately pulled the hooks. That would’ve been the icing on the cake! Overall, we had an awesome day on the ocean. Capt. Zac and Griffin did an amazing job putting us on fish and making sure we had a great experience. The boat was also equipped with some great fishing gears and sonar gps that can track fish within a mile radius. not too many charter have the gps they have. 100% recommend Hooked Up Sportfishing Charter and we’ll definitely be going out with them again! Mahalo, Hooked Up Sportfishing Charter! 🌺

Warren Barber5.0VerifiedOne Fish
3/4 Day Big Game Trip (Mid-Morning) on June 18, 2026 • 4 adultsHad a great day with family. Although we only hooked one fish (small Blue Marlin) we enjoyed the views and the ride. Captain worked hard and took us to fish but they just weren’t eating. Some days are like that.
Rae Dunlop5.0VerifiedAwesome experience
Half Day Big Game Trip (AM) on April 10, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenMy kids and I had a fantastic time out fishing. My daughter has dreamed about catching a Mahi Mahi and it was her lucky day! We had fish tacos at Pancho and Lefty’s after and they were awesome! It was definitely a big highlight of our trip. Griffin and Dan were so great and helpful and the boat was very comfortable to hang out in. We had the best time!

Christopher Hannan5.0VerifiedShort nose billfish
Half Day Big Game Trip (PM) on January 21, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Zack and his First Mate Cameron were awesome. Very engaging and thorough in explaining everything, especially what to expect game fishing. Landed a short nose billfish, aka, spearfish. They even made a great recommendation where to have a local restaurant serve some of it up for us. Highly recommend and will book with them again.
Camille Dion-morissette5.0VerifiedRocky morning with a perfect team
Half Day Big Game Trip (AM) on July 28, 2023 • 4 adultsWe went fishing this morning with captain Mike and his mate. Both were amazing. I was a bit anxious about going with my 2 year-old daughter but everything was really smooth with them. We didn’t catch a lot but they made everything for my husband to have a least one fight and he did! With a tuna and a dolphin (the dolphin won unfortunately)! We cut short to the half day because I was feeling seasick and my daughter as well and the crew was very nice and caring with us. Amazing experience!
