We went on the Fire Hatt in March 2013 and had the experience of a lifetime. We did some world class fishing with Captain Chuck and Adam and ended up catching a 1058 lb, 131 inch blue Marlin! The Captain and Adam were extremely professional, experienced, and amazingly courteous and calm under pressure! We also saw a school of pilot... More

Chuck was great. His boat was first class - clean and fully equipped. His knowledge of Hawaii and the ocean was very interesting for my husband and I and our 3 children. I felt very safe and comfortable. We hooked an unusual fish - a hammerhead shark! It was the breeding time for sharks so we were able to hook... More

While I have never fished in Kona before, I got the sense that we didn't work too hard to find fish...there may not have been any to be found, though. We had not even a nibble in our 6 hour charter. How disappointing! That being said, the boat was beautiful, our hosts were nice and gracious. Chuck and Adam were... More

A day of fishing with Captain Chuck and Chet was a highlight of our trip. We felt right at home aboard the beautiful Fire Hatt. Captain Chuck is such a friendly and warm person and Chet patiently taught us how to handle the reel and, hopefully, the big catch. Drinks and snacks were available throughout the trip. I especially loved... More

These guys are first rate. Our day started with an energetic welcome by Chuck and Adam, and Chet, a bonus extra hand. My youngest daughter (9 yrs) was hesitant about going as she didn't want to hurt the fish, but Adam was great at prepping her and getting her excited about sitting in the chair and fighting fish! The boat... More

I arranged a full-day fishing trip for me, my 25 year old daughter, my husband and my brother-in-law. We arrived and found Capt. Chuck and his two crew members, Chet and Adam ready to go! The boat was beautiful - exceptionally clean, comfortable and well-organized. We immediately headed out for a day of fishing and relaxation. We immediately were made... More

Captain Chuck and Adam run a first-class boat. Not only will they find the fish, but they made us feel at home on their boat.

We had the most amazing day on the Fire Hatt!!! First pilot whales, flying fish and dolphins. Then some great snorkeling near the Captain Cook monument. Part way back a line went ZING and the boat went crazy!! We had a blue marlin firmly attached and fought it with teamwork for an hour and a half. The crew (Chuck and... More

This fishing trip was so much fun! Chuck and his helper Adam were fantastic and very amusing. Chuck has so much interesting information on Hawaii and other places too. We were out fishing for about 6 hrs and had a blast every minute. First fish caught was an Ahi, and half it was bitten by a shark. Next fish caught... More
