Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, our trips are tailored for fun, excitement, and reeling in the best of the Lowcountry waters.

We offer flexible trip options to fit your schedule!

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Cobia, Tarpon, Black Drum, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Amberjack, and who knows what else!

On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. We also offer Flounder gigging. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing and bowfishing.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your adventure begins aboard a 21' Parker center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great trip!
3 Hour Trip (AM) on August 13, 2026 • 3 adults

Captain HH is a really cool, easy going and positive guy — just what we were hoping for. My son, son-in-law and I all had a great time. Unfortunately, the fish weren’t biting in a big way — just a small bonnet head shark and a big ol’ catfish, but that’s how fishing goes sometimes. The captain did everything he could to put us on some fish. Our wives were able to watch the live feed, which was kinda cool. Still, we throughly enjoyed the trip and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!

    Captain Jackson is top notch! We had a mixture of skill levels and ages from grandparents to teenagers and he adjusted perfectly to make sure everyone had a good time. He caught a net full of live bait on his first throw and within 5 minutes of fishing my 84 year old Dad snagged a 5’ black tip shark, he put up a good fight but ended up snapping the line. The rest of our time was active, all 6 of us caught multiple times catching 5 sting ray and 5 sharks. The last blacktip was caught by my 84 year old Mom! Captain Jackson cleaned the bonnethead sharks which we had for dinner. He is skilled, knowledgeable, and had great southern hospitality. Highly recommend booking with Island Head and request Captain Jackson! We will see you again next summer.
