We had an absolutely fantastic time on our charter this morning! Captain Buddy was punctual, welcoming, and ready to go right at our 07:00 AM start time. The fishing did not disappoint—we reeled in a shark, a king mackerel, and a regular Spanish mackerel! Captain Buddy is incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters, the different fish species, and exactly where the best spots are to get a bite. Beyond the great fishing, the kids absolutely loved the boat ride itself. Captain Buddy was great with the family and made sure everyone had a blast. If you are looking for a fun, productive, and family-friendly day on the water, Captain Buddy is your guy. We will definitely be back!

We caught several sharks and a stingray! We kept one shark and Captain Buddy cleaned it so it would be ready for dinner! His wife gave us a Shark Taco recipe. Four 19 year olds came on this trip with me and my husband and they all had a blast catching sharks they even thanked us for taking them. They found it so exciting and Captain Buddy made the trip perfect by sharing all his shark knowledge. This trip is great for little kids and big kids - kids of all ages will get a thrill!
Our trip with Captain Buddy was amazing. There were 4 of us, including our 9 and 6 year old. Buddy was great with them and so informative, which was especially fun and interesting to my inquisitive kids. Highlights of the trip were catching a jack trevally that a shark had bitten the back half off of, a huge bull shark, as well as pulling up crab traps and collecting massive stone crab claws. I would highly recommend Buddy and we will definitely come again when we return to Hilton Head!
Captain Buddy showed us an amazing time. We caught several different species of sharks, one of which was good enough to eat! We also got some delicious stone crab claws! He taught us the process kindly and encouraged us to keep trying even if we were nervous. He told some great stories and jokes, and beared through our attempts at being funny! Captain Buddy also taught us about the wildlife as we saw it. Overall a super fun, educational, and rewarding trip.
Went out with Captain Buddy to learn about fishing in the lowcountry and it was the best 4 hours of information. I learned so much from his endless knowledge of the waters and fish life. Cap is very personable and he really cares that you get the most out of your trip for whatever you want to do. We moved from place to place changing techniques and goals so that I could learn as many skills as possible. Will definitely book with him again!
This was our first guided fishing trip on HHI and the 4-hour in-shore fishing trip was perfect. Captain Ryan was great! He was easy to interact with and our three teenage boys enjoyed talking with and learning from him. We would definitely recommend this trip!
We had a great experience with Captain Buddy at sharking today. We caught 6 sharks and saw dolphins and plenty of marine life. He was great and so knowledgeable. We’d go back for crabbing experience any day with Captain Buddy!

The 4 Hr inshore trip was just what we wanted! We caught a bunch of fish and many different species of them, including Black and Red Drum, a fine tooth shark, croakers, whiting, and even a sting ray! We even got to see 2 bald eagles! Buddy was a great captain as always and very informative, we learned alot about the waters and the fish that call them home. We will be back again soon!
Our trip with Captain Buddy was fun and informative! We felt very safe and taken care of. Both of my kids were able to reel in sharks of about 3-4 feet in length! I caught a bonnet head. Buddy worked very hard to get us in a position to catch and actively guided all the way through. 11/10 trip! If you bring an ice cooler be sure to have one with a secure lid. 😭 Thank you Capt. Buddy!
Hands down one of the greatest experiences I had in my life. Buddy is the most chill yet professional guy I've ever met. Although we had no luck with cobia or mackerel that day(thats part of the game folks), he found us plenty of shark, so dinner was saved! :-) You can book other charters but that's on you then, I warned you! Thanks for everything, Buddy! Cheers
