Reel McCoy Charters fishes around Hilton Head Island, and we can't wait to show you what the local fishery is all about.
In 2016 I dropped out of college to pursue my dream of being a professional fishing guide. After hundreds of days and thousands of hours on the water, I was able to attain my captains license in 2021 and have been guiding full time ever since.
Our boat is a 22’ sea hunt that fits up to 4 anglers at any one time. (Total weight of 4 passengers not to exceed 850 lbs). The boat is equipped with a GPS trolling motor, T Top for shade, storage, bluetooth radio, live wells, and many other features. The boat is powered by a 200 yamaha
All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be covered and handled by the charter.
Note ** Red Drum are highly encouraged to be catch and release. Redfish are our primary inshore target and the population is on an alarming decline over the last few years. It’s important for our future to take care of them now before it’s too late. You’re welcome to keep other legal fish if you’d like and I can clean them for you at the dock. Please don’t come expecting to fill the freezer, we don’t have that kind of inshore fishery here!
Feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks in a small cooler. We offer a kid-friendly experience, so you're welcome to bring the whole family out for a fun fishing adventure.

Dean Mullis5.0VerifiedWould definitely come back
3 Hour Inshore - 11:00 AM on August 2, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Donovan was upright professional and on the fish but what made this trip special was it was my 5 yo sons first boat and fishing trip. Captain Donovan stayed engaged with my son and kept him entertained and on the fish! A 3 hour trip was just the right amount of time for both of us. Captain filleted the fish and we had some tasty varied fish tacos that night would highly recommend. Thank you Kindy Capt’
Craig GundersonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedChill guide, great with my son, and we put some nice reds in the boat
3 Hour Inshore - 11:00 AM on September 30, 2026 • 2 adultsHe wasn't uptight or by-the-book about anything, just a genuinely nice, easygoing guy to spend the day with. He has kids himself so he was patient and good with my son the whole trip, never rushed or short with him. On top of all that we caught some really nice redfish. Would book with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for a relaxed, family-friendly day on the water.

4 Hour Inshore on October 30, 2026 • 4 adultsI’ve been on many inshore charters. This was the best. Captain Donovan puts you on the fish and his knowledge of the fishery was amazing. What a great memory. Thank you cap!
John NuttycombeRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing trip!
4 Hour Inshore on July 21, 2026 • 3 adultsHad an amazing trip out with the Captain. He put us on big drum, slot drum and slot trout and a couple sharks. Ive been booking fishing charters for the last 5 year and by far the BEST Captain and experience we’ve had yet! If your looking for a inshore trip then Captain McCoy is your guy!!!
Spencer StephensonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat first time out for my son
3 Hour Inshore on September 21, 2026 • 3 adultsI’d give Donovan a 10 out of 10! My 3-year-old son had an amazing time on his first fishing trip. Donovan made sure he understood everything and even helped my son hold the fish we caught. It was the perfect introduction to fishing on a boat.
Victor Davis5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
3 Hour Inshore - 11:00 AM on May 26, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Donavan was a great guide and adept with the equipment. Would love to go again. Caught a 32 inch redfish, a stingray, three different types of sharks, and a sail catfish. We enjoyed the wildlife of the Sound!
