An Amazing Fishing Experience with Captain Herb!
3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing - 11:00 AM on August 24, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Herb was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! He was an incredible captain, host, and tour guide, and made our fishing trip in South Carolina an experience our family won’t forget. We caught 10+ sharks of all different kinds, which was an incredible experience for the kids! What really stood out was how great Captain Herb was with them. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to teach them how to fish properly. He helped them throughout the trip, showed them what to do, and even corrected them when they made mistakes so they could learn and improve. Captain Herb created a fun, safe, and exciting atmosphere while sharing his knowledge and passion for fishing. The kids had an absolute blast, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in South Carolina, I highly recommend Captain Herb. Five stars all around! 🎣🦈⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

great captain and some great catches!
3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing - 11:00 AM on July 31, 20262 adults

I booked this charter for me and my boyfriend while he was in town visiting. we are originally from Canada so I thought this would be a great opportunity to catch some things we may not see at home. Captain Herb was very friendly and personable and told us lots about the fishing out here. We made four total catches including one big red drum, two baby sharks, and one 44” bull shark. it was a perfect day on the water and quite relaxing while we waited on the fish. overall an awesome experience and we would totally recommend!! price was also much more reasonable than some other similar charters that were even shorter in duration. the Captain even had water bottles and sodas for us during the trip! we had a lovely time!

Best Family Fishing Trip Ever!!!
3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 10, 20262 adults3 children

We had an incredible experience shark fishing with Captain Herb! We met bright and early for our 7:30 a.m. trip with our three kids, and from the moment we stepped on the boat, Herb was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to help our kids learn the ropes, teaching them how to do things on their own while making sure everyone felt included and had fun. We ended up catching over 8 sharks, and it was an unforgettable experience! We’ve been on several charter fishing trips over the years, and this was by far the best one we’ve ever had. Before heading back to the dock, Captain Herb even took us to see dolphins and gave us extra time on the water, something he certainly didn’t have to do. That level of thoughtfulness and genuine care made the trip even more special. If you’re considering a fishing charter, don’t hesitate to book with Captain Herb. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you again for an amazing day—we’ll definitely be back!

Incredible, perfect and will be back!!!
3 Hour Trip -Shark Fishing / Sunset on July 6, 20264 adults1 child

I told Captain Herb he didnt charge enough because this trip couldnt have been better! My mom, boyfriend and litte one all caught their first shark and the fight they put up was all worth it!!! every angler wants to land their big pole bender and boy they did! Boyfriend’s was 5 ft 12O pounds and too big to bring onboard! we got to see many dolphins and some were at our boat to say hi! the boat ride was incredibe and no one got sea sick even though we had rough waters at first. he shared a lot of info about how to fish, the areas we visited intercoastal and the different waters. history of the areas was interesting. he had everything we needed on board and was so good to us i felt like we made a friend. he stayed aware of the weather as it was iffy and kept us out of the storms and able to continue fishing. he let us bait our own hooks and cut the bait he brought if we wanted to even though he was willing to do it for us. the cost was way under anything i could find elsewhere. from Jacksonville Fl to Hilton Head he was by far the cheapest . we did the 3 hr and he let us have extra time since tide was out at first and i wished we could have tipped him more but our funds were limited! we will be return customers!

Best Trip Ever
3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing - 11:00 AM on June 29, 20264 adults1 child

Our family had the absolute best time with Fins Up Adventure and Captain Herb! From the moment we left the dock, Captain Herb was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters. He knew exactly where to take us, and it didn't take long before we were reeling in sharks one after another! He made sure everyone in our family—from the tween to the adults—had an amazing experience and was always there to help, answer questions, and share his expertise. It was exciting, fun, and truly one of the highlights of our trip. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure with a captain who knows the area inside and out, we highly recommend Fins Up Adventure. We'll definitely be booking another trip with Captain Herb the next time we're back in the area!

One of his favorite aspects of running his own charter is welcoming new anglers and youngsters on board. Captain Herb loves seeing kids hook their first catch and fall in love with fishing just as he did.
