Such a fun experience!

3 Hour Crabbing and Sharking2 adults1 child

Captain Buddy made this such a fun experience for our whole family! We took our 5 year old, 3 year old, and 1 year old. He was so great & patient with the kids! We caught a bull shark, two stingrays, a saltwater catfish, and a 300lb lemon shark! We also caught stone crab & blue crab that we were able to take to a local restaurant for them to cook & eat! Such a fun experience. 10/10 recommend 😊

    Awesome family outing!

    5 hour HARDCORE OFFSHORE!4 adults2 children

    ​We had an absolutely fantastic time on our charter this morning! Captain Buddy was punctual, welcoming, and ready to go right at our 07:00 AM start time. ​The fishing did not disappoint—we reeled in a shark, a king mackerel, and a regular Spanish mackerel! Captain Buddy is incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters, the different fish species, and exactly where the best spots are to get a bite. ​Beyond the great fishing, the kids absolutely loved the boat ride itself. Captain Buddy was great with the family and made sure everyone had a blast. If you are looking for a fun, productive, and family-friendly day on the water, Captain Buddy is your guy. We will definitely be back!

    Awesome trip with a great captain!

    3 Hour Crabbing and Sharking3 adults

    I’d highly recommend Captain Buddy. We had rough weather conditions and he did everything he could to make sure we had a great time! Caught sharks and got to check some crab pots. Went home with some filets and a few pounds of claws! He is highly knowledgeable and a great guy to talk to on the water. Will be back!

    Sharks Galore!

    3 Hour Crabbing and Sharking4 adults

    Captain Buddy showed us an amazing time. We caught several different species of sharks, one of which was good enough to eat! We also got some delicious stone crab claws! He taught us the process kindly and encouraged us to keep trying even if we were nervous. He told some great stories and jokes, and beared through our attempts at being funny! Captain Buddy also taught us about the wildlife as we saw it. Overall a super fun, educational, and rewarding trip.

    Loves What He Does

    4 hour Inshore Fishing - 11:00 AM1 adult

    Went out with Captain Buddy to learn about fishing in the lowcountry and it was the best 4 hours of information. I learned so much from his endless knowledge of the waters and fish life. Cap is very personable and he really cares that you get the most out of your trip for whatever you want to do. We moved from place to place changing techniques and goals so that I could learn as many skills as possible. Will definitely book with him again!
