Family Shark Fishing & Dolphin Tours 3
It’s summer fun fishing time! The time of the year for catching what’s plentiful – sharks, that is!
Truly an experience that your kids will tell all their friends about as soon as they get back home! Well, that’s how it would have worked back in our childhood days, but now the kids’ friends will be looking at photos before you’re even off the boat! Treat your family to this exciting adventure!
When you visit Hilton Head Island, SC contact Dolphin Discoveries Nature Tours & Family Shark Fishing. Whether the kids are 5 or 8 and reeling in 1-2 footers, or your harder-to-please teenagers are on board and we go to the holes where the 3,4 and even 5 footers hang out either way, the kids will be full of smiles!
Please note that we will not bring any sharks larger than 3ft long, into the boat. Even then it is captains discretion over holding sharks, as safety is our #1 priority.
Our 22’ Carolina Skiff is made for recreational boating and fishing. It’s a great boat to catch some Sharks, stop to see a few dolphins, and enjoy all the beautiful scenery Hilton Head has to offer! This charter can accommodate a group max of 6 guests(Generally, we fish 4 rods max at a time), although ...less people(or with children) gives more room to move about.
Whether a Hammerhead, Bull Shark, Blacktip, or maybe a huge Ray putting up the fight of a lifetime, it’s Hilton Head fun at its best! Our Captains have kids themselves that love to go fishing with their dads on their days off so you won’t be dealing with the old salty fishing guy that does most of the fishing for you. These guys love seeing the excitement on your kids’ faces just like they see on their own kids!
Teens and children is who this is built for, and the crew is very enthusiastic to teach them to fish. For Dolphin Discoveries and Family Shark Fishing, it’s all about summer fun and the kids! Of course, an enthusiastic adult group we love to have as well! All fishing gear, bait, and licensing are included.

Family Shark Fishing | 3 Hour - 9:30 AM on June 26, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Damon was so friendly and knowledgeable, my son and I had an extremely fun time with him on the trip. we caught several blacktip sharks, a bull shark, and a bonnethead. All were 4 to 5 feet long. This was our second excursion with this outfit and will be booking again each time we come to the island.

Family Shark Fishing | 3 Hour - 9:30 AM on June 19, 2026 • 2 adultsBrian was an AMAZING guide! it was storming when we went out and he made sure that we had the proper gear and kept a positive attitude throughout all the rain! We caught five sharks! The last shark was approximately four foot long! If you are looking to book definitely do it! No regrets!

Family Shark Fishing | 3 Hour - 9:30 AM on July 16, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Shep was fantastic! Not only did we catch sharks all evening, but he was so kind and entertaining for the whole family (mom, dad, two preteen boys and an 8yr old girl). He made it so much more than just a fishing trip, and we hope to see him again!

3 Hour Shark Trip
Family Shark Fishing | 3 Hour on July 25, 2025 • 3 adultsCaptain Heath and Dolphin Discoveries Family Fishing was everything we expected and more. On a 3-hour trip we had consistent action landing sharks, a couple Rays, and a Skate. We were able to watch dolphins from the time we got on the boat until we were finished so that was a plus. Captain Heath is very knowledgeable about the area and worked hard to put us on fish based on the tide. I would recommend for any level of fisherman to take this trip as it is a low pressure, enjoyable trip. My wife has fished with me in Alaska and Costa Rica and she told Captain Heath this was the best Guided trip she has ever been on.

Family Shark Fishing | 3 Hour on August 4, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childCan’t say enough great things about our experience today. This was the highlight of our vacation so far no question. Our captain was great with my 11yr old the minute he got on the boat. He then started giving us his Hilton Head fishing knowledge as we headed out to our fishing spot. Then the fun began as we tagged Black tip sharks, Bull head sharks, Bonnethead sharks, stingrays and even a catfish. Can’t thank you enough for the memories you helped us make and the great time we had. Definitely will be back! Thank you again. Adam

4 Hour Trip – Shark & Dolphin - 2:30 PM on July 1, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy family and I loved the shark fishing adventure, we caught 10 sharks total! And then spent the last part of the trip surrounded by dolphins! Captain Larry had us on the fish in no time and was great to hang out with, very knowledgeable and a good time! We can’t wait to go fishing for more sharks again!

Michael Bowman5.0VerifiedGreat for the kids
4 Hour Trip – Shark & Dolphin (4PM) on June 26, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenI wanted to make sure my 2 daughters got to see an environment we don’t normally explore. Captain Heath didn’t let us down. We caught sharks and other fish. We saw sea turtles and had up close experiences with lots of dolphins. He even pulled up to an island to let my kids collect shells.
