Fishing Charter Reviews

What a wonderful experience for our first Hilton Head Fishing Charters! Captain Jake was so patient and tolerant with our boys (8&9) one of whom is neurodiverse. They have quite the story to tell about catching bonnethead and sand sharks!

Can't recommend them enough.

— Abbruzzese Family

Besides the clean boat, nice smooth ride on the waves I really appreciate how friendly and helping Jason has been with our kids. We just came from Dollywood, but our fishing trip with Jason has been far superior experience for our boys!

— Alex Y., Kharkiv, Ukraine

We had a great time! Capt. Jake was an awesome tour guide. We will be back!

— Bryan B.

Jason, its a good thing I didn't have to pay you per fish!

— The Clorox Family

Captain Jake made this such a great experience. And Jason made the booking easy. Hands down best day of vacation and something my son and I will remember forever! Jake made this adventure fun and taught us some things along the way! If you're in the area lookin to fish- this is the place to go!

— The Stuckey Family

Fishing with Capt Jason Hazel was nothing short of "electric"! By that I mean from a fantastic sound system on board belting out favorite tunes to watching him constantly working the bait & fishing lines for our party of 5 - to his magnetic personality which made all on board feel comfortable & guaranteeing fun for all.

We had 4 of 5 people not experienced in fishing but it didn't matter as each one of us had the experience of "reeling one in"! We did a catch & release on a number of sharks like the black tipped & bonnethead which made the inshore fishing truly a fun day for all.

I highly recommend fishing with Jason for one reason — FUN.
