Running angling trips out of Hilton Head Island, Hilton Head Inshore Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Thomas aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, popping, and spinning. You’re looking at 2 to 6-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Redfish, Shark, Cobia, Black Drum, Tarpon, and Seabass, depending on the weather and time of year.

Captain Thomas grew up fishing and exploring the local marshes. Thomas has always had a drive and love for the outdoors. He has been a USCG licensed Captain since he was 18 and has a degree in Environmental Studies from the University of South Carolina. He specializes in both inshore and nearshore fishing.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 22’ Pathfinder boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat features an ice box, and a wireless trolling motor.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

The boat will be supplied with bottled water for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Hilton Head Inshore Charters.

2 Hour Trip – Inshore

Thomas is the guide to book!

VERIFIED

This was my second time fishing with Thomas at Hilton Head Inshore, and I can't recommend him highly enough! We went out for a two-hour charter, and within the first 10 minutes, we were already reeling in redfish. In just two hours, I caught over a dozen redfish and sheepshead, and by the end of the trip, I was on a total fish high! Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and makes the experience fun for everyone. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience in Hilton Head, Thomas is the guy to book!

This is our third year in a row with Captain Thomas and our family of 4. He knows where the fish are at and how to keep younger children engaged based on their attention levels. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing day fishing with Thomas. We caught many fish today. There were four of us in our group and everybody had action. We caught four different species of shark and a couple of red fish. This fishing trip was a blast and we will most definitely look up Thomas again in the future.
