KONANE, Hawaiian for: shining brightly. She is truly the shining STAR of Kauai's fishing charter fleet. Built by reputable Delta Marine, she is equipped with a full spacious cabin and galley, microwave oven, TV, VCR, CD stereo, 2 private restrooms, hot and cold freshwater showers.

Special fishing features such as her 22ft outriggers, Four Fighting Seats, Live Bait Tank, Custom wrapped Rods, PENN Reels, Custom Lures and extensive use of Natural Baits, have helped "KONANE STAR" come home with some outstanding catches. She can troll up to ten lines on share trips, with each angler having his or her own line. With ten anglers on board, this vessel is only at one third of her passenger's capacity. She is the only Charter vessel on Kauai, certified to 100 miles offshore, by the U.S. Coast Guard.

KAI NUI, Hawaiian for big seas. Konane's not so little sister got her name for how well she rides when the water turns rough. She too is a luxury charter vessel built by Delta; although a little smaller, she has nothing to envy her big sister. She has the same walk around configuration which enables our passengers to walk up to the cushioned seating on the Bow. The best ride in the house unless you are hard at work in the fighting chair of course.

Home Port: Port Allen Small Boat harbor

"Our vessels are impeccably maintained and are equipped with latest state-of -the-art electronics and fish finding equipment. Our vessels make up the majority of available fishing charter vessels on Kauai certified to carry more then six passengers and are subject to thorough yearly U.S.C.G. inspection to ensure your safety is never jeopardized. If your schedule permits, we would encourage you to drive to the harbor and visually inspect other vessels before committing."

"Having fished Kauai's lively waters for the last 22 years, knowing many times on my way out of the harbor that the ocean was going to be very rough, but that the fishing might be outstanding, I often dreamed of a vessel like Konane Star. A vessel big enough to make my passengers (and me on some days) feel safe and comfortable. When the opportunity of owning Konane Star came around, I jumped on it and it's been smooth sailing ever since, I love this boat"

Dear Mr. Salibi,

"I commend your commitment to passenger safety and vessel maintenance. It is a pleasure to work with operators like you whose maintenance and operation programs show a genuine desire to stand out as role models for the industry.

On December 3, 1998, lieutenant junior grade Mike Gross completed a hull examination on your vessel KONANE STAR, and found everything to be well maintained and in excellent condition. The inspector relayed that the vessel was in full compliance with applicable regulations and you were very cooperative and knowledgeable. Based on the exam. I consider KONANE STAR and your staff positive role models for the marine industry."
