3 Hr - Shark fishing - inshore on November 27, 2024

Capt. Jonathan and first mate/ labradoodle Tinker were wonderful. Before we got out there, we needed to make a change to our reservation for a personal reason, which Capt. Jonathan was able to accommodate. Family voyage… two couples and two teenagers… three hour tour (a three hour tour). Conversation was great. Captain was super nice. Caught a bull shark within the first hour. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get out on the water for some fun fishing!

Jon was absolutely the best charter we have been on! He was very personable and kept in contact with us prior to the trip. My husband, Chris and I enjoyed our time with him. We successfully caught bull sharks the moment we got out to the fishing spot. I was exceptionally pleased with the first mate, which was a labradoodle! He was the sweetest! We will definitely be contacting Jon next time we are in Hilton Head, thank you Jon for a great morning!! :)

3 Hour Trip – Shark (PM) on October 12, 2024

not because we got some fish but the captain was very nice. Even if we didn't catch any fish, I would have given him positive reviews. I had a 6 yr old grandson, the captain kept him engaged and was very friendly. Some days you catch fish but other days you don't but you want a positive experience. This captain really engages with you so you feel you had a good experience

3 Hour - Shark fishing inshore on July 12, 2024

My wife and I took our four kids, ages 7, 9, 16 and 18 on a 3 hour shark fishing charter with Captain Jon and couldn't be happier. He was very engaging, kind, definitely knew what he was doing and provided us with a great experience. We caught all sort of sharks and saw many dolphins. We visit Hilton Head somewhat often and will absolutely book with Captain Jon again. Highly recommended!

2 Hr - Shark fishing - inshore on July 15, 2024

We had a great trip with Capt Jon and his fluffy first mate, Tinker! We started out with the closest views of dolphin we’ve ever seen and then we dropped anchor in shark alley. It wasn’t our day to catch any sharks, but we did catch two stingrays and enjoyed chatting with Capt Jon and petting Tinker while we waited. It was a great day out on the water!
