    Chill guide, great with my son, and we put some nice reds in the boat

    3 Hour Inshore - 11:00 AM • 2 adults

    He wasn't uptight or by-the-book about anything, just a genuinely nice, easygoing guy to spend the day with. He has kids himself so he was patient and good with my son the whole trip, never rushed or short with him. On top of all that we caught some really nice redfish. Would book with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for a relaxed, family-friendly day on the water.

    So much fun for our family

    2 Hour Inshore - 2 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time out on the boat for a couple hours. Caught some sharks and a sting ray. Our boys, 12 and 6, had so much fun. There’s no pressure to do anything more than you want to do with the actual fishing. I’m sure if we had asked we could have been more involved, but we really just wanted our kids to be exposed to something new and learn about fishing. We learned a lot and it’s approachable for anyone to go out. We will do it again if we make it back to Hilton Head in the future!

    Would definitely come back

    3 Hour Inshore - 11:00 AM • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Donovan was upright professional and on the fish but what made this trip special was it was my 5 yo sons first boat and fishing trip. Captain Donovan stayed engaged with my son and kept him entertained and on the fish! A 3 hour trip was just the right amount of time for both of us. Captain filleted the fish and we had some tasty varied fish tacos that night would highly recommend. Thank you Kindy Capt’

    Great first time out for my son

    3 Hour Inshore • 3 adults

    I’d give Donovan a 10 out of 10! My 3-year-old son had an amazing time on his first fishing trip. Donovan made sure he understood everything and even helped my son hold the fish we caught. It was the perfect introduction to fishing on a boat.
