Captain Dan at Hook and Cook Charters was absolutely phenomenal. He’s lived on Tybee Island for over 40 years, and it shows. His knowledge of the local waters, the fish, and where to find them is second to none. He knew everything about every species we caught and exactly where the hotspots were.

Every spot produced. And one thing I loved as soon as other boats started pulling up around us, Captain Dan peeled out and took us straight to another spot. No sitting around in a crowd hoping the fish would bite.

We went home with around 10 pounds of fish, and this was hands down the best chartered fishing trip I’ve ever been on.

Captain Dan knows these waters, works hard to put you on fish, and makes the entire experience a blast.

10/10 isn’t enough. Hook and Cook Charters gets a 20/10 from me.

My husband and I wanted to fish the inshore waters and picked Hook and Cook Services with Capatin Dan (and could have not have made a better decision). We started our day at 7am and brought a bag with snacks and a towel and a cooler.  He was on the dock ready to go and we jumped on the boat, put our bag in a drybin in the front of the boat and the cooler in the back. We then set off for our first fishing spot (accompanied by some good tunes) where we caught several Reds and flounders.  We then hit a few more spots where we picked up several more species of fish including more reds and a trout.  We even saw dolphins swim by the boat.  Captain Dan was always at the ready and was quick to offer another pole when I needed a retie or to put on more bait.  Dan gave excellent advice in a way it was easy to understand and follow.  At thr end of our trip, Dan fileted our fish and we walked to Bubba Gumbo’s restaurant where they cooked up our fish (it cost us about $10 a serving with 2 sides).  It was an excellent day with Captain Dan and if you are reading this, I would suggest to hurry up and book your tour before the day you want is booked.  Thnks again for a memorable day, Dan!!

Captain Dan put us on the fish ! we caught Red Drum, Flounder, speckled trout as keepers and a good size stingray and aome croaker too! also lady fish too! we had an amazing time on the water and would recommend capt Dan to anyone who wants to so some inshore fishing! Ha also shared the dolphins and the light house with us for photo ops.

We booked a charter out of Tybee Island and it exceeded all expectations. Captain Daniel knew exactly where the fish were biting and put us right on them. We caught Trout, Redfish, 2 Red Drum one 30 inches the other 36, flounder and other fish all morning long. The boat was clean, the gear was top-notch, and Daniel was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable with tracking and cleaning our catch. If you want a productive, thrilling fishing trip on Tybee, book immediately!

Capt. Dan’s service was exceptional to say the least. He made sure my wife got to see the dolphins up close. He was super knowledgeable about the wildlife. At his request we went out at 9 instead of 7:30 as he was concerned about the bite and tides and he was for sure right. The bites came hot and heavy the latter part of the morning and it was on. It’s no wonder he has 5 stars! Definitely will be back and would recommend him to anyone. Just a super friendly man as well.
