3 Hour , Shark Fishing / Sunset on June 1, 2025

Captain Herb is truly the Best Captain ever!!! Soooo SMART with everything to do with our trip! Everything was provided! Best memorable time ever spent with my son, his best friend and my best friend of 30+ years. I had to quit fishing because I wanted pics and videos of all the sharks everyone was catching! Many times all lines had sharks at the same time! Capt done great keeping everything neat and super organized! I left quadruple the tip I was going to leave. It was so much worth it!! We did the 3hr trip 5:30pm-8:30pm. My son caught at least a 6-7’ black tip approximately 70lbs. He fought it for a very long time! It was crazy!! Capt was right there and knew exactly what to do! My son’s friend did the same thing but the sharks tail whipped and snapped the 300lb leader breaking the line. I would not have a problem at all taking my daughter or my wife next time. Thank You Again, Captain Herb!!! TRULY THE BEST!!!!

3 Hour , Shark Fishing / Sunset on June 20, 2025

We had a great trip! Fishing was a little slow but Capt Herb worked hard to make sure we caught fish Caught a GIANT 41 inch red fish and a shark that was almost 4ft!! My 14 year old granddaughter caught the shark and Capt Herb was great coaching her for a successful landing. Gave us some great info on the area in addition to explaining his plan on catching fish. Would highly recommend As a bonus saw several dolphins!!

3 Hour Trip (AM) – Shark Fishing on June 11, 2025

Fishing with Herb was great. In our group we had 2 moms and 2 boys, 12 and 9. Herb was fantastic and helped our boys reel in some nice sharks. Herb is knowledgeable on fishing and the area. He catered to us and our boys to make it a great fishing trip. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend a fishing trip with Herb. Absolutely amazing with kids. We will definitely book again when visiting Hilton Head.

3 Hour Trip (AM) – Shark Fishing on May 22, 2025

This was our first inshore fishing trip and it was an awesome memory we’ll never forget!! Herb our guide was very knowledgeable & educated us on types of fish & the surrounding ecosystem! He took us to several different fishing spots so we could experience the best chance of catching a shark. We each caught a shark!!! We are already planning another trip with Herb on our next trip to HH!! Highly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful time with Fins Up Adventures! We saw a lot of dolphins on the way out, which the family enjoyed. Captain Herb pointed out a bunch of the local sights and history as we were running out to the fishing spot. We caught a bunch of sharks, including bonnetheads, Atlantic sharp nose and a 6-7 foot blacktip to close the trip! Had a great time and will do it again on our next trip!

"I had enjoyed fishing all my life. Going on fishing charters as a child made me want to own and run my own charter fishing business one day, to share the experience with others." Captain Herb Rosenberg may have only started his own charter in 2018, but his childhood love for fishing has given him plenty of angling experience. Before launching his own charter, he spent over a decade working as a captain for other charter operators and ferry boats. 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. Additionally, he is a great lover of the outdoors and enjoys introducing visitors to the beauty of South Carolina's Lowcountry.
