We booked the 3 hour private intercoastal fishing trip on July 2 and againon July 6. We enjoyed both trips and highly recommmend the private booking for others that want to enjoy their group / family for fun outing. We caught fish and saw more dolphins than we do on a dolfin cruise. Our 5 grandchildren had a great time!! We will book again next year.
Thank you for fishing with us, Jeff!
Patient Captain and First Mate worked hard to find us a good fishing spot but they were not biting today. We caught one shark. Boat was great; lots of shade, comfy, two bathrooms on board! Relaxed ride and several dolphins sited too! We plan to sail with them again and hopefully catch more next time!
Thank you, Christy!
Thank you, Jeff!
Thank you, Matt!
The entire family, including children ages 9-18, enjoyed our time on The Drifter. Five of the six children caught a shark so they enjoyed the time.
Thanks, Jeff!

I have lived on Hilton Head my entire life and have a passion for fishing. While growing up on the island, I would spend every spare moment out on the water fishing. I got my captain's license before I got my high school diploma and couldn't be happier with the career that I have chosen.
