This was our first time charter fishing on HHI. Capt. Buddy was an excellent fisherman and guide. He brought us to a favorite fishing spot, and he explained about the different fish species and various fishing techniques.  We caught a sea trout (released due to just undersize), whiting, and a good size black drum. It was a windy day which made it a bit tricky for fishin’, but Capt. Buddy perservered and we tried to catch bigger fish, but the sea was not in our favor. Capt Buddy cleaned, fileted and bagged our catch of the morning. A great time had by all!  Highly recommend Capt. Buddy’s charters! We will definitely hire him again! The best!!

Not only does Captain Buddy know the Low Country waters as comprehensively as they can be known, but he shares his appreciation of the natural beauty and history as he finds the best fishing spots.  Caught a gigantic Red and had a four hour trip for the memory bank.  Totally great.  Cannot recommend Buddy’s charter more highly.  6 stars out of 5.

Weather was colder than seasonal averages.  Captain Buddy was very courteous and knowledgeable about all wildlife around Hilton Head area from juvenile eagles, dolphins courting, local hunting of hogs, deer and ducks.  Wish we could have caught more fish.  But Captain Buddy kept moving to different locations and changed fishing strategies along the way with passion and perseverance .  We had a great time and would highly recommend on our next trip

Recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with an amazing boat captain, and it was hands down one of the best outings I’ve had! From the start, the captain was incredibly knowledgeable, providing us with great tips and detailed information about fishing techniques, the area, and what to expect. He really knew the best spots and always had a backup plan if the first one didn’t pan out. We never wasted time — if we weren’t catching, he immediately took us to a new spot that was sure to give us a great catch!

What stood out the most was how great Captain Jay was with all ages. Whether it was the kids or adults, he made sure everyone felt comfortable, engaged, and excited throughout the whole trip. His patience, friendliness, and expertise made the experience enjoyable for everyone, no matter their fishing skill level.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Jay — he truly made the day memorable for our entire group! Will definitely book again!

Last minute decision to take our family out for the day. Reading reviews you’re always skeptical even if they have just a few iffy reviews. If you’re not sure, just book with Buddy! We couldn’t recommend him more! Buddy was great with our young kids, we all caught at least one shark and some more fish. We had the best day!! A 2 hour trip was the perfect amount of time for kids, any longer would’ve been too much for them. Buddy was really knowledgeable and taught us all a lot about the waters, fish and shark species. We will be returning customers any time we are in the area for sure!! Lasting memories were made.
