Booked a charter with Buddy at the end of March for me and 3 other friends / coworkers. It was clear that his priorities were our safety and also getting us some good bites. He is funny, has a natural touch for hospitality and teaching, and set us up for success every second of the trip. We unfortunately weren’t able to catch anything for keeps - but we did have the surprise of catching various species which made for awesome memories. When the bites were slow, he was sure to show us around the area in the boat and explained the historical formation of the surrounding islands, a special treat. We caught stingray, small whitings, a small shark, a puffer fish, and an eel. His charter was the highlight of our Hilton Head trip - if you are considering booking with Buddy, just do it!!

We caught a huge variety of fish. Captain Buddy was so great about explaining so many fascinating facts about the different species.  His knowledge of the area was the kind only a dedicated fisherman knows. He took care of us really good too. We only went for 3 hours because we were on limited time this trip. I couldn’t believe the great luck we were having. Of course its always up to chance but Captain Buddys knowledge sure helps increase the odds. I wish I could get my photos to upload but I’m having a few tech issues with my phone. I would definitely recommend Captain Buddy and the next time I’m down here I will call him again.  He’s a great guy that knows his stuff! I would give him 10 stars but they only allow 5. Give him a try and good fishing to you!

Captain Buddy was friendly engaging and interesting. I was looking for some memorable time with my kids and Captain Buddy delivered. It was a cold morning. My son said it was the best fishing experience he has ever had and we have had quite a few trips. My daughter also had a wonderful time.
We caught some sharks and just finished enjoying his fish taco recipe. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

Bites were relatively slow, the windy afternoon didn’t help, but we had a great trip with Captain Buddy. My wife and I, along with my father, enjoyed a half day in shore fishing charter. We went home with a Bonnethead Shark, a Red Fish, and 2 Whiting. We also caught a couple Whitings that were too small and we threw back, and a couple Sting Rays. Overall fun day! Thanks Captain Buddy!

It was our first time going out several miles off shore. We started by catching bait, then making a run out to the reef. He was really good at transitioning between new anglers and more experienced ones. My daughter was there and he would coach her directly, helped hands on when needed, and was extremely calm while helping her learn to fight the fish. When others were on the line he easily transitioned to more coaching and advice, but let us fight it. You can tell he’s used to taking all levels of experience out. It was the first time we ever caught sharks, which was a blast. Overall it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun. I will do it again.
