Runaway Fishing Charters
Runaway Fishing Charters
Hilton Head Island has a fish with your name on it, so let Runaway Fishing Charters help you catch it! With Captain Jackson at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters hold game fish like Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Tarpon, Blacktip Shark, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Great Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Tiger Shark, and more, depending on the season. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Jackson can also help you specialize your trip!
Your adventure begins aboard a 31' offshore sport fishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Runaway Fishing Charters!

Robert Rayner5.0VerifiedMy Youngest First Charter
6 Hour Trip on August 11, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childMy youngest daughter’s first charter, and what an incredible experience! Captain Jack and First Mate Josh were absolutely fantastic. They had us on fish almost immediately and kept the action going. My daughter caught a bunch of sharks, had an absolute blast, and made memories she’ll never forget. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better first charter experience for my daughter. I would highly recommend this boat to anyone looking for a great time on the water. We’ll definitely be using them again the next time we’re back in Hilton Head! 🎣🦈

Jamal MoheetRepeat angler5.0VerifiedRunaway Fishing Charters First Class!!!
6 Hour Trip on July 29, 2025 • 5 adultsCaptain Jackson and mate Austin are men of their chosen craft! The laid back but thrilling adventure these two strive to provide their clients on every trip is by far none world class!! Hardworking to not only make sure the entire trip the individuals are landing fish they go for the entire package by providing laughs and great conversation. Captain Jackson’s knowledge of the waters he grew up on by far exceed anything a fish finder could provide you with. Captain Jackson made sure he utilized every minute of the six hour trip wisely to ensure pie Ty of fishing was done and minimal time spent traveling. From the moment you step on his customized boat that delivers comfort and quality for all, you are treated first class, followed with laughs, smiles, and stress free environment. Captain Jackson put us onto a 9foot 320 pound nurse shark( was massive), black tip sharks, sharp nose, black nose, along with a variety of fish. I have been an avid sport fisherman from age 10 and out of all my charter experiences ,which have been good, don’t get me wrong, but Captain Jackson just delivers on all cylinders and surpasses any definition of good and achieves a level of greatness. Thank you Captain Jackson and Austin for one of the greatest experiences for me and my family. Well done Gents! Look forward to joining you on more adventures in the near future.
