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.

We did the 3 hr shark fishing experience and it was phenomenal! We did it for my son’s 7th birthday and he said it was the best day of his life! We caught fish and shark, including one giant one that was around 5ft! Captain Jay was so friendly with our whole crew and made the kids feel very comfortable. We have very little fishing experience and we’ve only fished on small inland lakes. Our kids got to hold the small sharks and help reel in all the catches! We also got to see dolphins! Our captain was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about different shark and fish species and other ocean animals in the area. He explained when different species come during the year and how fishing works on the ocean. It was an overall amazing experience! If I were to change anything, we would’ve booked more hours! Thank you Captain Jay!

We had an unforgettable day out on the water with Captain Buddy! He was absolutely fantastic with my teenage boys and had them laughing the entire trip and totally engaged from start to finish. We caught several sharks and made memories that will last a lifetime. Captain Buddy’s knowledge, sense of humor, and easygoing nature made the experience even better. The boat was well-equipped, and everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a fun, exciting fishing trip for the whole family, I highly recommend booking with Captain Buddy.

First time chartering a captain out of the Hilton Head area. Read the reviews, looked at about 8 to 10 captains. Chose Captain Buddy charters. Was fortunate enough to get Captain JAY for the day. Excellent Captain. Very patient and hard-working. Had an outstanding time. Not only is he a great Captain, but he is a Marine, like me, so it helps to have the same mentality in a Captain lol.
Would highly recommend Captain JAY.
He got us on fish right away. Lots of fish, not too many keepers, but that’s how fishing goes. Either way we had a great time and will definitely be back.

thank you, Captain Jay for an awesome time

Our family had the absolute best day fishing with Buddy! My husband and I brought our three boys, and it couldn’t have gone better. Everyone caught fish — and big ones! We landed several sharks, a Jack Crevalle (Buddy’s first of the season!), and more than enough for a fresh-caught dinner.

As if that wasn’t amazing enough, we even spotted a bald eagle soaring overhead — such a cool moment!

Buddy was incredible from start to finish. He knew exactly where to go and kept us right in the action the whole time. His knowledge of the water and patience with all of us made the day fun for everyone.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, we highly recommend Buddy. We’ll definitely be booking again!
