  Highlight of our vacation!

  3 Hour Family Shark Adventure on July 28, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  My husband wanted to do a charter fiahing trip so we decided to make it a family adventure. Captain Blair was amazing and did very well with all age ranges (we had a 17 year-old, 5 year-old and 2 year-old). The kids had a great time and were all able to catch something. We were able to catch some catfish and several sharks. Captain Blair was very knowledgeable and was able to teach the kids about the different kinds of sharks. We even got to see sone dolphins and Captain Blair went out of his way to ensure the kids got to watch the dolphins play. We will definitely do this again when we return to Hilton Head!

  Great day to catch fish!

  3 Hour Family Shark Adventure (APR) on April 10, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  We had a fantastic trip. First and foremost, the captain cared about our comfort. The day we were supposed to fish the weather was cold and extremely windy. The captain provided us with an alternative day so we could have a better experience. When we did start our trip, my 83 year old Dad shared that he was cold and the captain whipped out a spare coat. The captain was great with two rambunctious and excited boys (8 and 10). He provided them age appropriate task and knew how to keep them busy even in the down time. The best were his one liners about how long it takes to catch the shark! I also want to note that the captain was great at handling our party that had multiple generations. He showed everyone how to get on the boat properly whether they were old or young and had great rules regarding safety. I would highly recommend A Live One to all looking for a comfortable and fun time.

  Good family trip

  3 Hour Family Shark Adventure (MAY) - 11:15 AM on May 27, 2026 • 5 adults

  Good day on the water. Everyone very friendly. Scheduled for the afternoon but got a call offering next morning to avoid heavy winds. Good call, the weather was perfect. Note, Captain Blaire was willing to go as scheduled, but felt lower winds would result in a much more enjoyable trip. We have little experience fishing but he made us feel right at home. In just 3 hours he caught the bait and we landed 5 sharks between 2-4.5 feet. Mixture of black tip and fine tooth including a 30 minute fight for one fine tooth who had no intentions of giving in. Boat and equipment were in good order. Gave us a good safety brief before we left and even included a little HHI history lesson.

  Great Trip!

  3 Hour Family Shark Adventure on July 9, 2026 • 4 adults

  Hands down the most comfortable trip I’ve ever taken loves the bean bag chairs. It was action‑packed from start to finish, and the captain tailored everything perfectly to my family. Even though we didn’t land the biggest fish in the ocean, the action was nonstop. The captain was engaging, funny, and took extra time with the youngest one. After coming to Hilton Head for 25 years, I can honestly rank this as one of my favorite fishing trips on the island.

  Great Family Shark Fishing Trip

  3 Hour Family Shark Adventure (APR) - 12:15 PM on April 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  We were visiting from Illinois, and Blair took us out for 3hrs. Blair was a great captain from the start engaging our family showing us wildlife along the trip. My 12 year old son had the opportunity of catching 2 sharks, hold a squid while my daughter's (18 & 23) enjoyed seeing the dolphins Blair was able to spot for us. Great Trip and it was money well spent.
