Perfect Family Charter with a Great Captain
3 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on April 2, 2026 • 3 adults
We had an outstanding trip with Captain Kim from I Love Fishing. He was patient, kind, and fantastic with my two teenage sons—he really made the experience special for them.
The fishing was great—we landed three redfish (kept two) and a black drum. Captain Kim put us on fish and made everything easy.
He cleaned our catch at the dock, and we even took it to a local restaurant to have it cooked fresh the same day—doesn’t get much better than that.
Highly recommend and would absolutely book again.

We took our son out for his first charter. It far exceeded our expectations he’s hooked, we caught great fish and captain SK Kim took the time to show our son what he was doing and was very encouraging. I could not recommend a better captain for someone looking to take kids out he’s so engaging and encouraging, all around great guy to talk to. We hope to come back next year and reconnect with him.

Captain Kim is the Best!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) - 9:00 AM on March 30, 2026 • 2 adults
Highly recommend I Love Fishing Charters and Captain Kim! My son and I took a trip to Hilton Head for spring break, and we booked a 4 hr charter in the hopes of catching some redfish. We had a great time and caught not only several redfish, but also some trout and black drum. Captain Kim is very kind and personable, and he knows where to go and how to help you catch some fish. Will definitely book with him again!

A Reel Good Time
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on April 4, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Kim is professional and kind. He takes the time to explain to you the best way to catch the fish! I’ve been fishing for many years for fun and I learned so much today. We caught several flounder, red drum, and a stingray! Had a wonderful time seeing the saltwater flats. Lots of wildlife including dolphins! It was a great day on the water. 10/10 recommend Captain Kim!!

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) - 3:30 PM on January 10, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Kim was the absolute best, not only was he very professional but knowledgable. He knew exactly where to take us to catch the fish. This was a special trip for me and my husband because it was our 1 year anniversary and his first time seeing the ocean EVER! I couldn’t believe he had never seen the ocean when we first met but I’m glad I was able to make that memory with him and Cpt Kim made it the absolute best experience ever. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fishing trip. Will definitely be back.
