    Great Dad and Son Adventure

    3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Bryce was great. We started off o ou 3 hour Shark fishing trip catching two small sharks. We had three more on the lines but lost them before we were able to get them on. they must have been big as it was a good fight. We did also catch 27+ and a 35 inch Red. Only able to brin one onboard. technically left empty handed but not because of Captain. They were too small or too big. Capt. Bryce also took care of the ride with my lower back pain and was able to keep us mostly dry with thunderstorms in the area. Really great trip.

    Great day of fishing

    5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on June 17, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    My son and I had a great morning on the boat. We had a bit of a slow start getting fish on the line but with Captain Ethan’s expertise and knowledge of the area we ended up with multiple incredible catches! (Red drum and a few sharks) Very enjoyable experience, would do again for sure.

    2 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 16, 2025 • 5 adults

    Ethan worked with us to fit our schedule, was flexible and hard working, and got us on the fish. It was the kind of trip where everyone was hunting and not catching, we got on them, and all the other boats honed in on our spot. That’s a testament to Ethan’s knowledge of the area and making it happen. Would absolutely book again.

We have two full time in-house captains/owners with five other part-time/contract captains. Capt. Ethan Williams is a licensed and registered USCG Maritime Captain. His love for fishing started at a very young age. Having lived all over the United States, Ethan has been able to learn many tricks of the trade in both saltwater and freshwater. While attending Clemson University, Ethan worked in SW Florida as a mate on some of the best fishing boats in the world. There he was featured on several different television shows, magazines articles and radio shows. After his graduation, Ethan brought his skill set to the Lowcountry and became a captain, so he may share his love and knowledge for fishing with others. Ethan likes to spend his free time on the water continuously learning more about new areas and the fish that inhabit them. When he is not out exploring the waterways, Ethan will be with his family and friends enjoying all the many activities Charleston has to offer or traveling to new, global destinations. Ethan's passion for the outdoors is easily noticed as soon as you step on board with him. He will be sure you have an amazing experience. Capt. Brandon Hartman is a licensed and registered USCG Maritime Captain, born with fishing in his blood. With a background in professional bass fishing, Bandon traveled the country for over 8 years fishing the FLW tour along with many other professional tours. After winning on multiple levels, he decided to settle down to his roots in the Carolinas and grow a second profession in fishing as a saltwater charter captain, giving Brandon over 25 years of fishing experience in saltwater and fresh. Just as he did on the FLW tour, Brandon spends his free time chasing new waters and countless fish including inshore, nearshore, and blue water pelagic species. When Brandon is not on the water he spends his time with his beautiful wife, Taylor, his son, Jennings, and their many animals. Brandon has an enormous passion for the fishing industry, and, with his outgoing personality, makes for a great experience on the water.
