Veteran-owned and veteran operated, let The Hatti-lac Charters take you out to catch what the gulf has to offer. They guarantee you’ll have the time of your life while you’re catching trophy size fish aboard the Hatti-Lac. At the helm, Captain Bradley Parnell has 25 years of experience fishing in the waters off Panama City Beach and always knows how to put you on the fish. The crew’s mission is to ensure your trip with them is the best it could be, all whilst building a relationship that will last for years to come.

Take a trip aboard the Hatti-Lac, a 45’ Hatteras sport fisher built in 1973 but restored in 2020. This spacious offshore boat accommodates up to 6 guests. She’s powered by twin 318 HP Diesel engines and easily reaches high speeds. The vessel is very comfortable, even during the 12-hour trips, as it features a private toilet, a galley, an enclosed cabin with AC, a TV, and a bed.

Explore reefs, nearshore and offshore spots, where you can target Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Gag Grouper, Amberjack, Kingfish, Cobia, and several types of Snapper. Test out different techniques and see which one works best for you.

All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. You get to keep the catch and the captain will clean and fillet it for you free of charge. Bring your food, drinks, and sun protection for the day.

So come aboard and let Hatti-Lac Charters treat you to a day to remember!
