Capt. Dale Leverone and Sea Strike

Capt. Dale Leverone and the charter boat Sea Strike have been featured on ESPN and Lets Go Fishing, and are frequently highlighted in Marlin Magazine, Saltwater Sportsman, Hawaii Fishing News and other publications.

Originally from Miami, Florida, Dale has fished in fresh and salt water from Australia to Alaska and holds multiple past and current IGFA world records.

Dale has been fishing in Kona since 1985.

Sea Strike is a Bertram 31, widely regarded as one of the most famous sport fishing boats ever built. With its introduction in 1961, Bertram established itself as a leader in fiberglass boat building methods, and the Bertram 31 remained continuously in production for 25 years. Its low center of gravity with engines amidships make the Bertram 31 a very stable, smooth-riding boat, which is critical not only for comfort but also for fishing success. Fishing from a steady boat without pitching and rolling is better all around, and her real strength is sea kindliness at trolling speeds.

Sea Strike is outfitted with top-of-the-line Penn International Two-Speed reels and other premium equipment. Penn's exclusive two-speed system is virtually required equipment among billfish tournament competitors and avid tuna fishermen around the world. The push of a button switches between fast retrieve for gathering line quickly, or down-shifting to put pressure on the largest tuna, billfish and shark.
