Hilton Head Inshore

Hilton Head Inshore (HHI) Charters specializes in shallow water (flats) fishing, targeting a wide variety of species that live in the Hilton Head Island area. Sight fishing is the primary method of fishing when the weather and conditions allow. Captain Mark Morrell invites you to join him aboard and have a pleasant and fun fishing experience in South Carolina.

You will be fishing from an 18’ Action Craft SE flats boat that is ideally suited for the shallow waters of the Lowcountry. No long boat rides to waste your fishing time, as you will usually start fishing within 10 minutes of leaving the dock. Your boat can sit up to 3 guests, runs on a 115 HP Yamaha engine, and features a Minkota trolling motor, GPS, and a fishfinder.

While fishing around Hilton Head and the surrounding islands, you will usually encounter dolphins, which are always fun to watch.

Kids and adults will appreciate the protected waters of Hilton Head estuaries, so there is no need to worry about getting seasick.

Summertime is action-filled easy Shark fishing, which families love. Fall and spring are great for Seatrout and Redfish, while winter is the time for flats fishing for schooled-up Redfish. The techniques you will use include bottom fishing, spinning, and fly fishing.

Whatever time of year you join Captain Mark of HHI, he will customize your fishing trip to suit your preferences. The charter will cover your SC fishing license and all the necessary fishing gear except that for fly fishing. The only things you should bring are food and drinks other than water.

Hilton Head Inshore and Captain Mark welcome you aboard!
