Had a fantastic day with the Silky crew. Dave the captain called me the day before and answered all of my questions and gave detailed instructions. Day of, we arrived at 6:15, jumped on the boat and away we went! Our lines were in the water 100% of the time! Cam the first mate, worked SO HARD the whole time giving instruction, managing lines, helping us reel in fish, providing information, and so much more! Dave the captain trolled the entire time, using his knowledge and resources to take us to the fish, and worked so hard to find us as many fish as we could get! Both were so personable and friendly! They provided bottled water, had a nice air conditioner cabin and two bathrooms, a refrigerator for food/snacks we brought, and were very considerate. All in all, we caught FIVE marlins, one Ono (wahoo) and two fish that got off the hook!! One of the best fishing days ever!! Our boat was the talk of the harbor!! Fantastic service, amazing crew, what a great day! Will be one of the highlights of our trip! I cant recommend them enough!!! Thanks so much guys!!

It was a beautiful day for fishing! Landed 7, lost 2, 2 bites that never took, and so many fun memories made! Michael and Dave were awesome to hang with and were helpful with all questions we had! We recommend them to anyone no matter a noob, or experienced fisherman! We will definitely be returning to silky fishing for future trips!
We went out with Capt. John, and mates David and Jordan; and though the fish didn’t cooperate, it was not due to lack of effort. From changing lure colors and sizes to hitting all the spots we could in our 6 hr trip, this captain and crew’s effort to catch fish was impressive. We had great conversation about the islands, fishing and more. The whole crew was just as invested in catching fish as we were. Next time I’m in the Kona area I am going to give Silky Sportfishing a call.
We just want to say how lucky we were to have been with these guys. We were lucky enough to have gotten a day with all 3. They made sure were were taken care of with food and drinks nice clean boat. Then to show us what we would be using for fish and what to expect. Got to see whales and dolphins and then the fish. They strapped us in and we reeled them in. The conversations were great with all 3. We will be back to see you guys. John & Angel
