Best day ever Great experience! I am prone to seasickness but I had the best time. It was calm and we caught so much fish (they basically jumped in the boat). 10 out of 10 recommend Captain Skitchy Barnes and Michael Barnes. They have a once in a lifetime experience.

Great fishing experience We have used Hakuna Matata for a few client business fishing days and absolutely love it. Scott and Mike are attentive to those on board and make sure everyone has a great time. Would always recommend this boat and team, and look forward to many more fishing days aboard the Hakuna Matata.

Great guys, great boat, great gear, great experience! Had a fantastic trip with Michael and Scott. Non-stop catching for most of the day despite a little shower. The guys are very professional, knowledgeable and fun. Great boat, great gear, great experience. Having lived in Bermuda for 10 years I was curious to go with these guys, and having done so they will be my go to for future trips. I lost a bet to Michael but hey ho, good times. On first trip AJ was a great mate and very helpful, as was Scott on our 2nd trip of the week. My friend flew in just to go offshore fishing for the first time and he wasn't disappointed. All in all 5 Stars Twister

Funday-Sundays We have been on Hakuna Matata a couple of times to get together with extended family and friends, catching up and spending lazy Sundays in the crystal clear waters of Bermuda. From cruising around seeing the sights from the water, to anchoring up to swim and even to bbq'ing a greeze, Skitchy and his family are the boat to do it with. One day I will be brave enough to go and catch dinner too! Cannot recommend them enough!

The best Bermuda fishing experience These guys are the real deal. they are fun, personable and know exactly where to take you to catch fish. They really give you an experience of a lifetime. My friend and I are always looking to up our experience when we travel and this did not disappoint. We caught over 100 fish including 5 tuna that were 40 + pounds each. Talk about some big fish stories to tell back home! I can’t say enough great things about this business. If you hire these guys be prepared to catch fish.

Amazing Boat Ride!!! Went on this boat twice for events with Friends. The captain was very friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We spent 4hrs on both occasions and were treated very well. We brought food and drinks and were highly accommodated in doing so with the facilities available on board. Captain took very good care and ensured that safety was of the upmost importance to us. We docked twice and we’re allowed to swim, given flotation devices and had the watchful eye of the boat team to ensure all was enjoyed and guided. An overall very good boat experience. Will most definitely always recommend their services for a good time on the water.

Definitely recommend I had the best time fishing with captain Scott and his dad Mike! Despite some weather which we can’t control, we got out there and slayed the fish!! There are a few YouTube videos on the charter that I made, feel free to check them out. Type in “Kelly Young Bermuda” they should pop up! Can’t wait to go back!
