Welcome to the Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. You'll find many opportunities to relax and of course to do some fishing. Cool Cat Charters is there for anglers who want to explore local waters and see what's biting. Captain Chris Prince will put you on the fish, and he'll do his best so that you have a great time while you're chasing that big catch.

You'll be having your fishing adventure on board the 30' Cobia 296, center console model from 2014. It can take on groups of up to 6 guests. The boat is powered by a double Yamaha engine with 300 hp and it can reach speeds of 50 kn. You'll be quickly navigating from one hot spot to another. For your optimal fishing experience, fishfinding equipment is available, and you can use the downriggers.

This charter covers nearshore and offshore areas which include reef and wreck locations. The fish is biting all year round, it's just the question of which species are in season. Generally, the summer months are the most action-packed. You can target Kingfish, Snapper, and several types of Shark and Grouper. You can go after these beauties using light and heavy tackle, bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, and spinning.

Don't fret about your South Carolina fishing license, as the charter's got you covered. As for the necessary fishing gear, lures, and bait, they will be waiting for you. For a more comfortable trip, you can use the onboard toilet. If you get lucky, you can keep the catch. What's more, the crew will help you clean it and prepare it. Children are welcome.

Make some great memories on an active fishing trip with Cool Cat Charters.
