Palmetto Lagoon Charters

Captain Trent Malphrus is a Hilton Head native with nearly three decades on the water, and it shows. Reviewers consistently praise his deep local knowledge, his ability to find fish even in tough conditions, and the easy, comfortable atmosphere he creates on the boat. Families with young kids, first-timers, and seasoned anglers all seem to leave with a great experience, and a fair number of guests have turned their trip into an annual tradition. What stands out most is how adaptable he is. Bad weather, novice fishers, mixed-age groups, he adjusts and keeps everyone engaged and in good spirits. People mention catching redfish, triple tail, and more, but even on slower days the experience itself seems to be the draw. If you're heading to Hilton Head and want a charter with a guide who genuinely knows the area inside and out, Captain Trent is a very easy recommendation.
