Loretta Cranbourne5.0VerifiedMagical day on water
3/4 Day Trip on November 2, 2025 • 3 adultsWe booked with Captain Brian after reading his reviews. Our experience more than lived up to expectations. Our 12 year old son has been learning in surrounding small lakes in VA - being out in the ocean was a dream! Captain Brian took us to spots were the fish were biting! We did the 6 hour trip and this allowed us to make the most of different locations and catch different fish including red and black drum and weak fish. Captain Brian was knowledgeable, patient and gracious. At the end of the trip, he taught us how to properly filet the drum that we caught so we could enjoy them for dinner. A amazing day that we will treasure.
Ryan Hoose5.0VerifiedCapt Brian is the man!!
Half Day Trip on August 20, 2026 • 2 adultsMy son and I had a great trip with Capt Brian. He put us on fish almost immediately and kept us on them the whole time. I honestly lost count of how many fish we caught. Redfish, tons of seabass, weakfish, stingrays. Highlight was a 35” bull red that my son caught- he can’t stop talking about it and will definitely remember that one for a while. Thanks Capt Brian!
Mitch Sump5.0VerifiedFirst Charter!
Half Day Trip on April 29, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Brian was great! My wife and I are Midwest pond, lake, and river fishers. Captain Brian was patient, knowledgeable and, most important, fun. We caught five species: Red Drum, Bluefish, Whiting, Weak Sea Trout, and Bonnethead Sharks. The latter was pretty exciting for us - we grew up chasing bluegills! If our travels return us to Charleston, another charter will be on the agenda.
James Langelotti5.0VerifiedThis Captain knows where they're hiding!
3/4 Day Trip on July 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWonderful day on the water. First stop was a Sea Bass hit every 10 minutes. One was a good keeper. Next spot was a Hammerhead catch/release, some Croaker, and Spanish Mackerel. Then we moved again and caught a nice Red Drum. Captain Brian and his 1st Mate were knowledgeable, super friendly, and all-around awesome. Highly recommend Heritage Fishing Charters!

Half Day Trip on September 20, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Brian was First Class. He was ahead of scheduled, friendly and super prepared. From the first cast, he had us on the fish and was incredibly helpful and informative of the local history. He did an outstanding job of cleaning and packaging the fish with great recommendations on preparation.

Captain Brian is great! Great with all levels of fishing! Sets up everything and helps you when you need it which makes it a fun, easy, and enjoyable. He tells you what you caught and about it as much as he can. Takes you to all of his known spots. The best thing about it is that you go chatch sharks! On our trip he told us how to do it when you have one on the line and if you need help he comes right over! He is happy to take a brake and take pictures of you with the fish. Captain Brian is the GOAT!
I appreciate your review, Adam! It was nice meeting your family today, and enjoying some beautiful weather. It was great to see you land that 40” Red Drum!! That was awesome. Enjoy vacation and look forward to next time. Capt. Brian

I appreciate your very kind review, Loretta! It was very nice meeting you and the family. Hope we get to go fishing again in the future. Thanks again, Brian
Capt Brian was a wonderful guide. He put us on the fish at our first stop. Altogether, we caught 23 fish and were able to kept three. It was a fun and exciting spot. We also stopped at two other spots to try our hand at some flounder and other types of fish. Both were fun to fish and had plenty of bites, but we couldn't bring one on board. I will definitely be returning for another trip with Capt. Brian
I appreciate your review, Bradley! Have a great summer, and look forward to our next trip. Capt. Brian

Thank you for review Mitch! I really appreciate you taking the time. It was great meeting you both and spending the morning on the water. Hope we get a chance to do it again, sometime. Have a great summer!
