Went on a 3-hour excursion with Captain Jack. Our family had an amazing time. The boat was great, took us out to catch live bait, then took off for our first spot. We ended up catching 10+ sharks across 5 different species ranging from the cutest little hammerhead shark ever saw to lassoing a large shark under the boat. Captain Jack was super knowledgeable and very helpful. All around, we were having a good time. Would highly recommend.
Thank you, Bradley!
My family and I have nothing but amazing things to say about this entire experience. Our eleven year old had a tramatic experience on a boat a week prior and was visibly upset and crying. Captain Jack was amazing with him. Reassured him he would be safe, perodically checked in with him, and answers his a million questions. My mama heart could not be more grateful for Captain Jack. He was very imformative, kind, and just all around great.
Thank you so much! Captain Jack is the best!
We took 8 people out on the charter, 3 adults, 5 kids with the youngest being 6. We caught a fish and an a black tipped shark which gave my 9 year old a fight. We also saw a ton of dolphins. Captain Jack was really knowledgeable about the area of Hilton Head. We moved once for some better for some better areas. I would do a three hour with that many people on the next go around.
Thank you, Jim!
Jack was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the area, and the boat we were on was very new. We had 4 adults and 6 kids and fit comfortably. We went to two spots and caught a 4’ bull shark and some small hammerheads at the first and a stingray at the second. Could have probably been out there for another hour if we did it again. Great time!
Thank you, Jonathan!
Captain Jack was amazing and really made our trip successful. We wanted to fish for sharks and we caught 11 sharks and a sting ray! He found the perfect spot and we had enough time that everyone in our party was able to reel something in. He was quick with setup, replacing lines when fish bit through them, patient with the kids and helping get the sharks on the boat so we could get a picture with each one. It was the perfect day and we would book again with him in a heartbeat!
Thank you for fishing on the Hobo with Jack!

I have lived on Hilton Head my entire life and have a passion for fishing. While growing up on the island, I would spend every spare moment out on the water fishing. I got my captain's license before I got my high school diploma and couldn't be happier with the career that I have chosen.
