HighNoon Boat Info

HighNoon is a fully equipped 32 foot Blackfin. Blackfin is well recognized as one of the finest sportfishing boats ever designed. It is truly one of the finest fishing boats made in the world. It is fully equiped with twin turbo charged Cat diesels. In short, HighNoon is a fast comfortable sport fishing boat. In addition, HighNoon is equipped with a full marine genset which provides 110 volt power to run the cabin air conditioner, battery charters, microwave, stove and other conveniences.

One of the best features of a Blackfin is the large comfortable flybridge which provides elevated and cushioned seating for up to 6 adults. This flybridge is the perfect spot for you and your guests to view ocean life and the Kona Coast scenery while trolling for that giant Blue Marlin.

HighNoon has the latest in marine electronics including autopilot, GPS Chartplotter, Radar, Depth Recorder/Fishfinder, VHF radios and cellular telephone.

Inside the air conditioned cabin, we have a table with cushioned seating, sink, microwave and cold storage. Also, we have a fully enclosed head with toilet, mirror, sink and facet, and fresh water.

HighNoon has a full complement of custom fishing tackle from stand up 30 and 50 lb class rods/reels up to 130 lb class fishing equipment. I enjoy matching my fishing equipment to the size of the fish. For instance, in the early spring, I run two 30 lb outfits with smaller lures for the smaller billfish such as Spearfish and Striped Marlin. What a thrill it is to land a great fish like that on light tackle!

Catching a 40 lb Wahoo on a full 130 lb glass outfit isn't much fun. It is much more exciting to catch that fish with the proper size tackle. Most boats just put out their 130s and troll for whatever hits at the time. I try whenever possible to match the fishing equipment to the fish.

My fishing tackle consists of two custom 30 weight rods with Shimano Tiagra Gold 30 reels. I also have two custom 50 weight outfights using Penn International reels. For the giant Blue Marlin, HighNoon has both 80 and 130 lb class outfits. All my rods are custom made and I use only gold Shimano and Penn international fishing reels. This wide range of fishing equipment provides you, the angler with fun fishing no matter what the size of the fish. Thus, for the smaller gamefish such as Wahoo, Mahi Mahi and the smaller Billfish, I can use stand the smaller standup outfits. For giant Blue Marlin and Yellowfin tuna, the 130 lb class outfits and fighting chair are used.
