    Fun and Relaxing!

    5 Hour Trip (1 PM)6 adults3 children

    Captain Jay and Lucas make a great team! Our group included me, and three young teens. My kids and I had been out before, but my daughter's friend had never been on a boat. We told Captain Jay we were up for anything and had them take us where they thought we'd have the most fun. They made our trip relaxing, easy, and fun! Everything we needed was ready to go, the boat was comfortable, and we started catching almost immediately. With Lucas's help, my son was able to reel in a massive drum fish (45lbs maybe). My son has an exciting story to tell and a memory to last a lifetime. My daughter kept reeling in small sea bass; we lost count after 20. I would highly recommend going out with Captain Jay if you are looking for an enjoyable experience. When we are back in Hilton Head, we will definitely be booking again!

    Awesome Trip!!!!

    5 Hour Trip (8 AM)6 adults4 children

    Captain J was awesome! I've been on a ton of fishing trips and he was by far my favorite captain. It was my wife, 3 sons, daughter and I. My crew wanted to go shark fishing and he put us on a ton of sharks. We must have caught 30 sharks. Captain J was very experienced and did a great job managing and talking with the kids. He even took the time to teach my daughter how to properly cast a spinning rod. We also love hearing the history of the island, and he was very knowledgeable and shared great stories. Overall it was a 10 on all scales. Thanks again Captain Jay! The Thomas Family

    Nice day on the water!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM6 adults3 children

    capt.Jay and deckhand Lucas were very nice people! plenty of seats in the shade older boat with good room for six of us. Would recommend bringing windbreaker or sweatshirt as very sunny day but cool when moving we only caught a miniature starfish lol but had a fun day and were greeted by Gary the dolphin as we were trying to maneuver into the slip on a windy afternoon! Thank you guys!

    Tough day for sure. Thanks again John!
