The Fire Hatt staff and boat is a first class operation. My wife and I fished two days with Chuck, Linda and Adam. Simply said, it was the highlight of the trip! The boat and gear was first class. They made us feel like we were at home and their hospitality was top notch. The knowledge they had about fishing... More

Choose Fire Hatt. My girlfriend and I went out earlier this week and were basically skunked. One 1lb. Skipjack in the boat, a Marlin strike, and a 50lb. Yellowfin Tuna to the boat, then lost. That's fishing though. If you want the best gear on the island... by far, the best kept boat and a overly knowledgeable Captain and Deck... More

I have fished a lot and from top to bottom Fire Hatt is a first class operation.Fish or no fish taking a trip with Chuck, Linda and Adam is a treat. I guarantee that when I return to Kailua-Kona I will fish with them and I will also tell any of my friends to fish with them. We fished from... More

There cant be too many people that know more about marlin fishing than Chuck and Adam, these two have a passion. We saw a marlin but were not fortunate enough to catch one. But this tour makes up for any lack of fish. They do a Captain Cook snorkel adventure in the middle so you can save a few hundred... More

Our day with Chuck, Linda and Adam was the highlight of our trip! Five minutes after getting on the boat I felt like we were with old friends. My husband and son are serious about fishing, and my daughter and I were along for the ride. My daughter was determined she was not going to reel in a fish, and... More

Our family enjoys fishing. My children and I had not yet tried our hand at deep sea fishing while my husband takes time annually to do so. The boat was very well cared for with everything shined and in good working order. The captain was fun to talk to and did his best to make us feel at home. Fresh... More

March, 1, 2012 - my husband and I had been on sportfishing adventures before in Hawaii & Alaska. Those trips were merely Introductions to what should be a sportfishing adventure. We have experienced a charter captain with the level of knowledge equal to that of an actor and a captain who was out for his own interests not that of... More

The owners/operators and the deck manager are working their tails off to make every detail sheer perfection! Their service is world class and unparalleled. After greetings and introductions are made your departure is on time with no waiting. Next, you will make your way onto the pristine, highly clean vessel. No stone is unturned! REALLY!! The continental breakfast rivals most... More

We came to Kona on a cruise ship and only had about six hours, but Chuck, Linda, and Adam managed to give us a full day's worth of fishing and fun. It's a beautiful boat with excellent equipment and wonderful people. The snorkeling was very refreshing after reeling in a fiesty fish! More
