A First-Class Fishing Charter Experience
Full Day Trip on April 11, 2026

Me and my wife had a great time out on the water yesterday with Captain Tim. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Captain Tim knows what he’s doing. He knows the water, knows where to put you on fish, and knows how to make the whole trip enjoyable. Everything felt easygoing and natural, but you could also tell you were with somebody who takes this seriously and wants folks to have a good experience. That’s what stands out most — he genuinely cares. He wants you to have fun, make good memories, and leave feeling like you got your money’s worth and then some. Good people are hard to come by these days, and Tim is one of them. If you’re looking for a charter with somebody trustworthy, knowledgeable, and just plain good to spend a day with on the water, book with Captain Tim. You’ll be glad you did.

The Perfect Morning!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 22, 20263 adults

This half day with Captain Tim was ideal! Our son caught a massive redfish (a memory for a lifetime) & we caught several trout, too. Captain Tim was fun & laidback, plus very patient teaching our son. He’s a great instructor! We can’t wait to book again next Fathers Day.

First of all, captain Tim is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We had to move our days around a tropical storm and he was super accommodating. He also happens to have the knowledge and skills to put you on the fish. Whether you are fly or spinner fishing you are guaranteed to be well taken care of and have an incredible fishing experience. If you are trying to decide between charters, captain Tim is the one you want.

Capt. Tim runs trips out of St. Helena Island aboard an 18' Delta Boatworks flats boat. These waters are known for Redfish and Speckled Trout and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're spinning or fly fishing. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
