Amazing first ocean fishing experience for our family
2 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on December 27, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
This was our first time ocean fishing, and Kim was incredibly kid-friendly. He was very patient and kind with our 9 and 6 year old children, and he also set everything up in a way that made it easy for me as a beginner to catch fish.
The boat was very clean, and Kim’s driving was safe and professional, which made us feel comfortable the entire time. It turned into a wonderful and fun memory for our family. We would definitely book again!

Great day for fishing.
2 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on December 23, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children
Fishing was so fun. We did a short two-hour trip, and Captain Kim was incredibly kind and knowledgeable.
It was funny because when we got on the boat, we told him we were there for my son, that this was his show and we were just there to support him. He laughed and said, “No, come on, you have to try.” My daughter and I ended up catching fish, and my son didn’t 😂
Captain Kim definitely turned my daughter and me into fisherwomen.

3 Hour Trip – 9am Inshore (AM) on July 17, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child
Captain Kim was incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout our trip. He not only put us on fish the entire time but also took the time to explain his strategy behind each spot and technique, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He was especially great with my son, showing extra patience and guidance as he worked to land a big one. We had an amazing time and will definitely be booking with him again on our next visit!

2 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on July 9, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
This is the first time we’ve ever been to Hilton head South Carolina. Captain Kim was a gentleman from start to finish. He was very prepared, gave great fishing tips, and genuinely wanted us to catch fish and have a good time.
My wife son, and I all caught fish and had a great time. My wife, who normally doesn’t go fishing with us much caught the biggest fish which was a 19 inch spot fish. Captain Kim fillet the fish for us immediately after we got off the boat and we enjoyed eating the fish she caught for lunch.
I definitely recommend Captain Kim and would absolutely do it again.
The best tip that I would recommend when you go fishing that Captain Kim gave us was when you get a bite to simply pull up on the rod straight up into the air and set the hook.
I kept making the mistake of reeling and pulling at the same time which makes it harder for the fish to keep in their mouths and more than likely. I was probably pulling the bait right out of the fish‘s mouth instead of setting hook.
So remember, simply pull up the rod and you will get more fish.
Thank you, Captain Kim and thank you for making our vacation special.
God bless you and your family.
