Hookup with "A Live One" for a memorable Hilton Head fishing experience! Owner/Capt Blair Willis began guiding outdoor adventures in HHI in 1996, and running his own boat charters by 2006. He is not only a fishing guide but an engaging host with a wide knowledge of the local waterways and nature.

"I treat every trip as if it were an outing with my own family." — Capt. Blair

A Live One is a Freeman Boatworks custom 29' center console. Freshly re-powered for 2025 with Yamaha 300 twin motors, and a full electronics console refresh, it has everything you need for a productive day on the water. It's the only Freeman fishing charter on HHI, a high performance catamaran hull with an unmatched ride. The wide layout of this boat is more akin to a 34' monohull in terms of space, and unquestionably more stable and smoother riding than boats in and above its class. Get there fast and comfortably, with more time to fish!

Backcountry/Inshore trips on A Live One are great for kids and very family-friendly! Child-sized life vests are provided, but feel free to bring your own if preferred. Coastal/Reef trips are age 13+ recommended, and Offshore Full Days are best for 16+. 6 Max Guests for most trips (4 for Offshore Full Days).

Inshore trips are catch-and-release fishing. Choose coastal/reef or offshore options if you're looking to bring home a meal. Contact us if ANY questions. Results greatly vary by season and trip type, and we want to make sure to match you with the best trip for your crew!

All fishing tackle provided. Live bait is often targeted by cast net to start the day, or fresh cut bait as available. Fully licensed charter boat, so no additional personal license is needed. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol ok in moderation; no hard liquor, no glass bottles, and no *wheeled* coolers.

Experience fishing in Hilton Head Island for yourself, and catch A Live One!

Good family trip

3 Hour Family Shark Adventure (MAY) - 11:15 AM on мај 27, 2026 • 5 adults

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.

Great day to catch fish!

3 Hour Family Shark Adventure (APR) on април 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

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.

What a great experience!

4 Hour Trip – Backcountry Inshore on мај 28, 2026 • 4 adults

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!

Great skipper and very knowledgeable

2 Hour – Junior Anglers on јун 23, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children

We first found menhaden for live bait.  The other captains worked together to locate the menhaden up around Corn Island. We then set out toward the Broad River almost down the coast even w HH airport.  Capt Blair was noting how we were early enough to use the high tide change to low tide for the fish to swim against the tide to catch fish.  This worked brilliantly as we actually sat between 2 sand bars and anchored. We tried whole menhaden as well as cut bait.  Cut bait proved to be the winner as we ended up finding a school of fine toothed sharks. My son caught/released 2, I caught/released 1, and my younger we believe he caught one but it got off before we could get it close enough to the boat.  Considering we were catching shark, their razor sharp teeth were cutting the line 3-4 times when we were close to the boat.  My 7 yr old and 12 yr old both had a blast and Capt Blair was very patient and explained to them very well and showed/taught them new things about fishing.
  Would definitely go back out, and certainly recommend Capt Blair.  Our was a shorter 2 hr stint, as I wasn’t sure how the boys would take for their first one.  He does 2, 3, 5 and even deep sea tours as well.
