We all had a great time on our fishing trip! The crew was knowledgeable and fun and made the experience truly memorable. We caught my mahi mahi which is what I was after and a king mackerel and had some fun with some of the sharks. It was a great time and we would all love to come out with the old hat charter again.

Capt. and first mate were awesome. We arrived almost two hours early and they were willing to accommodate us by starting our charter ahead of schedule. Once on board Captain Chad went over all the required safety protocols and off we went. The whole time heading out, there was good conversation and once anchored up there was even better fishing (catching). We will be sure to book again with these guys as they were not only positive and fun but put us on some awesome fish! Thanks guys

Got a text from Captain Chad that the water was choppy and he was going to leave it up to us if we wanted to still go out. We really appreciated the heads up!

We are SO glad that we did decide to go out!!!!! We had a BLAST and caught some amazing fish!

Both Captain Chad and his first mate (Nano), were very knowledgeable. They knew the spots to go to give us the best chances of catching something. And boy did we catch a variety!!! Even got to see a whale shark!

Make sure you listen to them… fishing deep sea is much different than fishing in a lake (the only place we had ever fished). And in rough water, listen to them when they say don’t go into the cabin because it makes any seasickness worse. Haha

No one puked, everyone had an AMAZING time and we would do it all over again!!!

Thank you for helping us make some great family memories!!

Out of Bill Bird Marina, the Old Hat put us on fish 20-30 minutes past the inlet

Easy going Captain Chad and High Energy First Mate make a great team - knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely interested in making sure the guests enjoy the trip. I Highly recommend them

Captain and crew did amazing putting us on fish!  Catching tuna and mahi mahi.  We were able to kite fish which is only done here in Florida.  At the end of the day I was very fortunate that reel in a 6-7 ft bull shark.  What a fight that was and my fiancé as well as myself felt very safe the entire trip.  We will coming back out with this boat and crew when we are in south Florida!
