    Luke was fabulous

    Shark Fishing (PM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    My three kids and I had a wonderful evening with Luke as our Captain. He was very knowledgeable, patient with us as we were inexperienced, and all three kids (ages 16, 14, 6) had a great time. His boat was well equipped with fishing supplies and drinks. He answered all our questions and we even caught a shark! He was prompt to respond to messages and all interaction went well. Highly recommend Luke!!

    Shark Fishing Fun!

    Shark Fishing Sunrise Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    Luke was an awesome captain for our shark fishing adventure! Our boys, ages 12 and 14, wanted to catch a shark. Luke knew exactly where to cast out at and we immediately started catching them. He was very nice and he knew the water well. If we are ever back in Charleston, we will definitely book another fishing trip with Luke. Thank you so much Luke!

    Great captain

    2 Hour Evening Trip • 2 adults

    Luke was fantastic - we had to change the location where to meet, but he nevertheless was there before time. Fishing wasn't easy what I very much like (otherwise I could just go to any fishing pond). Lot's of explanations by Luke, great sunset and a full moon evening - almost cinematic... Next time we'll take a longer tour!

    Thank you, Toby!

    Great Experience!

    Shark Fishing (AM) • 4 adults

    Had a great time shark fishing. Captain Lucas communicated well before the trip and was a great guide for the morning trip. Our family caught some sharks, saw several pods of dolphins and learned a bit about the area. Overall and memorable experience and would highly recommend Captain Lucas to others.

    We were out on some sharks right away. Not everyone caught one but that was likely due to so much time spent trying to get a picture of the bigger one. The captain is personable and patient.

    Luke was extremely accommodating to first time anglers. My kids had an absolute blast. I would recommend him to anyone looking to fish the Charleston area. The kids caught multiple sharks and were able to get photos with them, listening to music and hanging out.

    We had a great day on the water! The fish weren’t biting in the morning but we ended up catching a lot of sharks!! We went by the shrimp boats and it was really cool, as well as seeing a bunch of dolphins. Captain Luke was awesome!

    My wife and I had a great trip. We had a shark on the line within the first five minutes and caught around 8 total in just a couple hours. Capt Pressler was a knowledgeable and personable guy. We also got an up close view of a sail boat race which was a nice added bonus! I would recommend this trip to anyone.
