Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great trip for us beginners
Half Day Trip – Inshore on August 6, 20252 adults

The boat was nice and Kevin was amazing! There were five of us including two young girls with almost no fishing experience and rest with very little. Kevin helped us with the bait and the equipment and we reeled in about 25 fish from about 10.species over our four hours. We kept 3 drums 3 sheepheads and 2 croakers for our dinner for 9 of us. We spent time fishing under the bridge where we really reeled em in then spent some really nice time in the beautiful inlet water for a different experience. Would recommend to anyone especially those without much experience.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I grew up in Sneads Ferry, helping my 'Pa' (grandad) commercial fish for Grouper and Snapper and watching my father captain his SCUBA diving and fishing charters. As a boy, I would sit on my dad's lap and 'captain' our 50' boat. That's where it all started for me, I got the itch and I've been trying to scratch it ever since. I grew up enjoying everything our little coastal town had to offer; from fishing, SCUBA diving, flounder gigging, surfing, and exploring our beaches and marshes. I love my hometown and all the beauty God blessed us with living amongst. I enjoy sharing my passion for fishing and the outdoors with others. Book a trip and let's go enjoy some of the most beautiful work God created.
