what Will We Catch in Hilton Head?

✅ Trip Time Options & What to Expect on Your Hilton Head Fishing Charter

The best thing about fishing in Hilton Head Island is the incredible variety of fish species we can catch at different distances from shore—and how that changes with the seasons.

What you catch in the summer may be completely different from what we target in spring or fall, so every trip is a new adventure.

⏱️ Trip Duration vs. Fishing Style

🎯 General Rule of Thumb

The farther we go from shore, the larger the fish. Offshore waters around Hilton Head offer deeper depths and access to productive artificial reefs, which are prime fishing zones for many species.

Our goal is always to put you on fish and make sure you have the most enjoyable day possible, whether you want to reel in a shark or catch dinner.

🎣 Which Trip is Right for You?

🦈 Shark Fishing – Fun, Fast & Flexible

Shark fishing is one of our most popular trips, and it doesn’t require going far offshore or booking a full day. We catch species like Blacktip, Atlantic Sharpnose, and even Tiger Sharks right off the coast. It’s perfect for families and adrenaline-seekers alike—and can be done in morning or afternoon.

🍽️ Fishing for Dinner? Go 6+ Hours

If your goal is to catch fish you can take home and eat, we recommend booking a 6-hour or longer offshore charter. These trips give us enough time to travel out to deeper water and fish the bottom structure where larger, more desirable species live. Longer trips also improve our chances of hitting multiple fishing spots for better variety and success.

⚠️ Offshore trips are only available in the morning, as the sea conditions are typically more favorable earlier in the day.
