  Best Trip on the Island by far!

  4hr Shark/Spanish Morning on August 12, 2026 • 4 adults

  What an absolute home run of a day on the water! Taking three kids fishing can sometimes feel like a wild exercise in untangling lines, but this trip was smooth sailing from start to finish. Our guide was extraordinarily patient, knowledgeable, and knew the exact spots to keep the rods bending. The action was non-stop. Watching the kids' eyes light up every time a reel started screaming was worth the trip alone. We ended up landing 15 solid keepers—plenty for a fantastic dinner—and released other catches back into the water to fight another day. Beyond the incredible fishing, the crew kept everyone safe, fully engaged, and constantly laughing. It’s rare to find an outing that keeps three young anglers completely hooked without a single moment of boredom, but this crew pulled it off effortlessly. If you are looking for a stress-free, action-packed charters suited for both adults and kids, this is the absolute top standard. We came home with great fish for the freezer, unforgettable memories, and three kids already asking when we get to go back out!

  Good Fishing at Hilton Head

  4hr Shark/Spanish Morning on May 18, 2026 • 3 adults

  Went out fishing with Capt Dave and his 1st mate Moe today in Hilton Head. The weather and fishing were both good. We caught Sea bass, Spanish mackerel and Blues. Both captain and first mate were "1st Rate " !! These guys are very friendly and knowledgeable. Their boat was well equipped and provided comfortable seating and some shade for breaks between fishing spots. Overall a great day on the water !! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun day on the water.

  Great 10hr bottom fishing

  10 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on June 9, 2026 • 4 adults

  Would highly recommend the longer trips. Capt Dave got us on fish and kept us reeling them in all day. Moe was very accommodating of the inexperienced anglers on board and was a wonderful first mate. We would definitely go out again and would really recommend the longer trips. Next time we will go out for the 12 hr trip

  Fantastic Crew!

  12 Hour Trip – Trolling on May 3, 2026 • 4 adults

  The trolling was challenging. Nobody on the radio was catching fish either, so it wasn’t for lack of trying. The captain ultimately put us on bottom fish and we all had a great time. We will book with Captain Dave again.
