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... More

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... More

We took a 3 hour crabbing and shark fishing trip with Capt. Buddy, it was so fun and informational. Capt. Buddy is super friendly and interacts well with guests. From the time we stepped onto the boat until we left it was an amazing time. It was our first time shark fishing, Capt. Buddy is very knowledgeable about the area he took us to. All four of us were able to catch a shark none that we could keep but we didn’t get skunked. We will most definitely be booking again in the future.

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... More

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,... More
