Mrs cap’n Tim was very quick to respond to our inquiries. She was able to hook us up with very little notice for a last minute 4 hour inshore trip. Our cap’n Kevin was a very knowledgeable local who took us to several hot spots. Helped cast to the exact spot where he knew the fish were biting. We ended up with 4 “ keepers” which Kevin cleaned and split up into I package on ice to bring home and the other to go to the chef at Fishcamp on 11th in Port Royal. Chef Dan came to our table to discuss our preferences and cooked our fillets to order. Our lunch was perfect as was the entire experience!

Captain Tim is the best, most knowledgeable waterman to take you around the Lowcountry waterways off of Beaufort, SC. We met at sunrise, and he showed us the coastal sandbars and barrier-island shoals where tidal rivers and inlets meet the Atlantic. It was amazing & then he brought us in to hug the shore and see all the beautiful historic homes and the history of Beaufort. It was a perfect experience.

Captain Tim and Mrs Capt deserve all the stars. From a super responsive and transparent booking process to a great day on the water. We did 4 hours of inshore fishing and caught a wide variety of fish, including a few sharks! Would definitely recommend.
