Fire Hatt Sportfishing Charters
Fire Hatt Sportfishing Charters
Fire Hatt Sportfishing Charters has a number one priority, which is commitment to customer service. The boat and the charter service got their names as Capt. Chuck is a retired Chief in the Fire Department in California. He spent most of his spare time fishing and decided to commit to it fully after retirement.
Fishing Licenses are now required in Hawaii. Your fishing trip will take place only a few miles offshore and there’s no need to go further, as the fish and bait are found up close to the Island in many cases. Speaking of that, you start fishing the minute you leave the Harbor. A half mile offshore it can be 2.000 feet deep, and the captain has caught Marlin and Tuna within that distance. No long runs to the fishing grounds - you are fishing the entire time out! If you get one of those flat glassy days, going a few miles offshore to get in the Porpoise schools for Ahi or find your very own “floater” is always on the agenda.
You’ll be fishing on a 43’ Hatteras that accommodates up to 6 guests. The boat is in immaculate condition and features twin 550 HP Detroit engines. To make the whole experience more efficient and comfortable, there’s also a private toilet, a galley, a bedroom, and a flybridge.
The captain will provide you with Shimano rods and reels in a variety of sizes, from light tackle to 130 Tiagra’s. There’s also bottled water in the cooler but feel free to bring other beverages and snacks.
Fire Hatt Sportfishing Charters offer only private trips when you and your group have the whole boat to yourselves. Pick one of many available trips and start your adventure.

Caught 110 pound blue marlin and was the experience of a lifetime for my son who really wanted to catch that exact fish. fantastic experience overall because of the captain and crew. They also made great recommendations were to have lunch after and we really enjoyed their stories. make sure to bring non-spray sunscreen so the boat deck doesn’t get slippery. bare feet is the best when you’re walking around on the boat deck as you get the best feel and balance.
rhank you Jim. we are fishermen just like you and ever take for granted the thrill and opportunity to fish in KONA Hawaii. captain Chhuck
The captain and his mate were very knowledgeable about the waters around the Big Island, ran a very safe boat, and we hooked and released a blue marlin that might have been bug enough to win the tournament going on that day off Kailua-Kona. All in all, a great day on the water. Would definitely fish with them again.
Thank you David. That is the trip we try for every time. Come back and do a Tournament one day. Captain Chuck
Great crew with pro experience. You get right on the fish quick trolling out of the harbor. The boat is super comfortable and big with top notch equipment to fish with. They have the best lures ready and use them according to conditions properly. I’ll be back in Kona and fish with them again next year.
this is a very comfortable boat and the crew is always very professional and fun. We caught a a huge marlin the last time but this time even though we didn’t catch one it’s always great. It was south and my 16-year-old nephew we will be back. 
Had a wonderful trip. The captain and mate were very personable and professional. The weather that day was a factor. The rain, wind and swell caught up to us. The captain tried the best he could to put us on fish. The mate continually swapped out different lures with different shapes and colors. At the end of the day we didn’t catch any marlin but we still had a great time.
