Hilton Head Island and Bluffton has a fish with your name on it, so let Fins and Feathers Guide Service help you catch it! Captain Michael will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, Tarpon, and who knows what else! Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Michael also offers fly fishing, and cast and blast options.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children, under the age of 13, must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your excursion begins aboard a 19' Calibogue Skiffs flats boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Michael will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures and or live bait.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! We do try to practice catch and release as much as possible!

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some waters on board, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

5 Hr Trip on September 14, 2026 • 2 adults

What a good day on the water. Michael was fantastic. He worked hard to find us fish. There were many sheep’s head, red fish, mullet and dolphin were all around. The fish were very skidish and elusive even though I had plenty of opportunities. They either spooked or weren’t interested. There were also many turtles and a few sharks. Got hot out there and I enjoyed our day with Capt Michael. Thanks for a very entertaining and experiential day!
