Off Duty Charters offers a great time on the water for everyone, whether you are a complete beginner or an expert angler. A day of fishing with Captain Richard Martinez is fun for all ages!
Enjoy a quick ride to the waters close to shore, which are home to various types of Sharks. There are Blacktip, Atlantic Sharpnose, Bonnethead, and other species of these monsters that are especially great for a 'bragging' photo.
If Sharks are not up your street, Capt. Richard can take you out to Port Royal or Calibogue Sound, where you could sample anything from Ladyfish to Redfish. Otherwise, you could check the bite 5-10 miles off the coast of Hilton Head Island, targeting King and Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Drum, and more.
A day out with Off Duty Charters will take place on a 24' Sea Fox center console, a spacious fishing machine. It is equipped with a single 200 HP Suzuki engine and features modern electronics, outriggers, and an array of quality rods and reels. You will mostly be using spinning and conventional gear, including reels by Penn. Live bait, lures, and fishing licenses are also included in the price.
Grab your lunch and drinks and join in the adventure. It's fish on!
NOTE: Catch and release only!

Outstanding experience from start to finish. The captain was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on fish. We caught an awesome 90 lb bull shark and even a stingray, making it an unforgettable trip for me and my son. Safety was always a priority, and the crew took great care of us. If you’re looking for an exciting shark fishing adventure, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be back!
Caught multiple species of shark of all sizes. Including a 50-60lb Bull. Captain Richard was amazing and kept our lines up with bait and in the water as much as possible. He was great with my 3 kids. Will come again when we visit next time. Thanks Captain!
Captain Richard was great and has the knowledge and skills to get you on fish when conditions arent optimal. Very responsive to messaging and enjoyed the experience. My wife caught her first bonnet shark and i managed to land 2 small bull sharks.
My brother and I brought our kids, four total on the boat- all kids caught multiple fish, including one shark. Would definitely recommend!
This trip was so much fun. Captain Rchard was wonderful. We caught 5 sharks (2 black nose, 2 bull, and 1 bnnethead. He was patient and coached us through the whole process of reeling in a shark. He was extra patient with the children. I would highly recommend this charter especially for families.

Your captain
I started fishing at a young age growing up in Miami, Florida. When my friends were out riding their bikes, I was learning to tie knots with my dad. I am very passionate about fishing, I take pride in what I do and I'm not satisfied unless my client is. I like to live bait on the bottom with light to medium tackle. It's about the fight, not the catch.
