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.

The captain was great, even with low tide and some challenging weather, he was able to get us to some great spots to catch sharks! Was able to catch a hammerhead, bonnet head and a few other sharks. Our kids had a great time (was the best part of our vaca)! We were also able to see several dolphins up close, which was awesome!

3 Hour Shark Trip on April 6, 20264 adults

I would highly recommend booking a trip with Dolphin Discoveries. We had a great Shark fishing trip with Captain Craig today. He shared a lot of fun facts about the area and made the trip fun for everyone, even the teen girls. It would be great to come back when the water is warmer to catch even more sharks.

Bonnethead Shark
