Whenever you feel the need for an exciting offshore fishing adventure, Mad Hatter is here to take you right where you need to be. Join Captain Blake for a day and see what sportfishing is all about. Capt. Blake has been exploring these waters long enough to know all the best spots in the area and he’ll take you to some of his favorite ones. You can join no matter what your skill level is - whatever you need to know about landing a trophy, you’ll learn it right here.

The trip takes place on a 43’ Hatteras that accommodates up to 6 guests. This spacious vessel was refurbished in 2022, and it’s powered by twin 400 HP Detroit 6v92 engines. The boat has all the comfort you’ll need for a long day on the water, such as a private toilet, an enclosed cabin with AC and TV, and a cooler. You can also rely on modern navigational electronics to take you where you need to be.

The techniques you’ll most likely use are trolling, bottom fishing, and deep-sea fishing. Some of the species that can end up on the other side of the line are Red Snapper, Wahoo, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and more. One of the best parts is that, after the trip, the first mate will clean and bag your fish for you to take home!

All fishing equipment and your licenses are covered by the captain. You’ll need to bring your food, drinks, and sun protection.

It all starts with booking a trip with Mad Hatter. Come down a rabbit hole and start your adventure!
