First time anglers (13yr olds) had a blast on the water with this charter. Great for kids/families.
Kevin it was great having you and the boys on board. That jumping Mobula Ray was an awesome sight. See you all next time!
My husband wanted to do a charter fiahing trip so we decided to make it a family adventure. Captain Blair was amazing and did very well with all age ranges (we had a 17 year-old, 5 year-old and 2 year-old). The kids had a great time and were all able to catch something. We were able to catch some catfish and several sharks. Captain Blair was very knowledgeable and was able to teach the kids about the different kinds of sharks. We even got to see sone dolphins and Captain Blair went out of his way to ensure the kids got to watch the dolphins play. We will definitely do this again when we return to Hilton Head!
We had a fantastic trip. First and foremost, the captain cared about our comfort. The day we were supposed to fish the weather was cold and extremely windy. The captain provided us with an alternative day so we could have a better experience. When we did start our trip, my 83 year old Dad shared that he was cold and the captain whipped out a spare coat. The captain was great with two rambunctious and excited boys (8 and 10). He provided them age appropriate task and knew how to keep them busy even in the down time. The best were his one liners about how long it takes to catch the shark! I also want to note that the captain was great at handling our party that had multiple generations. He showed everyone how to get on the boat properly whether they were old or young and had great rules regarding safety. I would highly recommend A Live One to all looking for a comfortable and fun time.
Matthew, I can’t thank you enough, both for writing such a detailed report of your experience and for being such a blast to have on board. Looking forward to next time!
Good day on the water. Everyone very friendly. Scheduled for the afternoon but got a call offering next morning to avoid heavy winds. Good call, the weather was perfect. Note, Captain Blaire was willing to go as scheduled, but felt lower winds would result in a much more enjoyable trip. We have little experience fishing but he made us feel right at home. In just 3 hours he caught the bait and we landed 5 sharks between 2-4.5 feet. Mixture of black tip and fine tooth including a 30 minute fight for one fine tooth who had no intentions of giving in. Boat and equipment were in good order. Gave us a good safety brief before we left and even included a little HHI history lesson.
Ken, thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts about the trip. Really enjoyed having you all aboard this morning!
Hands down the most comfortable trip I’ve ever taken loves the bean bag chairs. It was action‑packed from start to finish, and the captain tailored everything perfectly to my family. Even though we didn’t land the biggest fish in the ocean, the action was nonstop. The captain was engaging, funny, and took extra time with the youngest one. After coming to Hilton Head for 25 years, I can honestly rank this as one of my favorite fishing trips on the island.
Jeff, thank you so much for the feedback and comments. It really means a lot to me and I loved seeing smiles all around today. Your crew is welcome aboard any time!
Captain Blair provided an awsome day on the water. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why. I had three curious teenage boys. All three caught a shark. We saw manta rays and dolphin. We went on a four hour trip which included cast netting for bait. It was all inshore so the water was relativley smooth. A plus!
Thank you, Jason, for sharing your experience on A Live One. Looking forward to your next outing!
