There's a fish with your name on it in Hilton Head Island and Hooked on HHI will help you catch it!

Join me, Captain Ethan, aboard my Glacier Bay Cannon Runner 2665. My boat is a well-maintained, smooth riding, highly capable vessel ideal for inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing the waters surrounding Hilton Head Island. My focus is on providing high-quality, personalized fishing experiences for families, visitors, and repeat local clientele, while upholding the professional standards and a strong reputation.

I welcome anglers of all ages, including kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Also remember to bring snacks and drinks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Depending on the time of year, we might hook into a variety of different Sharks, Redfish, Cobia, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Black Drum, Black Seabass, and whatever else is biting.

The boat will be ready with rods, reels, bottled water, as well as a cooler with ice. Live bait is caught during charters when available.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. I will help you follow regulations while we fish.

Some essentials to bring are polarized sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), snacks, and drinks. If you have any questions about what you can/can't bring, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, as long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

    Epic day!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    I booked a 4-hour trip, well worth the extra time. Started with several shark species and a stingray into the boat. Captain knew the waters and was friendly and proffessional. As we casted lines looking for redfish at a different location, captain saw the birds diving, picked up anchor and flew over to the site. just in time for the feeding frenzy where we landed a 35lb redfish. My boys were very excited and we all had a great trip!

    All around great trip

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 31, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We caught fish from the start. trolling offshore a few miles. we filled a box of bluefish, jacks, ladyfish. Made a run back inshore to find some tarpon. No luck on the tarpon but we found a school of sharks and for 2 hours we caught one right after another. Ethan is a great captain and runs a well kept boat. i highly recommend for all experience levels
