Step onto the Captain Hook and feel the spirit of Hilton Head’s Lowcountry come alive. This 70-foot, family-owned party boat—largest on the island and fully Coast Guard inspected—combines roomy shaded decks, an enclosed cabin, spo...
The crew makes this trip. Names like Brian, Paul, AJ, Tyler, and Seth come up repeatedly, with reviewers praising their knowledge, patience with kids, and genuine enthusiasm for what they do. They'll bait your hook if needed, help untangle lines, and rush over when you get a bite. Families seem to particularly appreciate how attentive the crew is with children, and the boat itself stays clean with decent amenities and equipment. The fishing itself gets mixed reviews, and it's worth understanding what you're signing up for. This is catch-and-release party boat fishing in relatively shallow waters close to shore. You'll likely hook plenty of small fish, maybe some sharks, and occasionally something big enough to keep and have filleted. Some visitors loved the experience for what it was, while others felt disappointed expecting deep sea fishing with guaranteed keepers. The captain sometimes struggles to find productive spots, which has left a handful of groups frustrated after hours of releasing undersized fish. If you're after the experience of being on the water and the thrill of reeling something in, you'll probably have a great time. If taking home a cooler of fish is your main goal, you might want to look elsewhere.
We did the Tuesday sunset tour and had a great time catching an arrangement of different creatures! My husband even got to real in a big 4ish foot shark! You’re not going out to keep anything, it’s more for the experience. The crew was awesome and even dealt well with some overly excited kids. We even caught some dolphins in the distance! Got to watch fireworks from the boat and enjoyed the whole ride. Thanks to the crew!!
