 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came to South Carolina for our honeymoon and this fishing charter did not disappoint. Captain Tim was exceptional. He genuinely cared about you catching fish, all while making you comfortable & having a great time. Would do it all over again. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had another fantastic day on the water with Captain Kevin Mears and Cast Away Charters! Everyone caught plenty of fish, learned some of the ins and outs of fishing with fast moving tides, and one of us caught a whopper of a redfish to make the day memorable. Thanks again Cast Away for a memorable day!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I went on a sunset cruise and let me tell you… it was perfection. So fun. Captain Tim knows all the incredible things about Beaufort which definitely made for an incredible evening. The sunset was perfection and he positioned every element and timing so we got the best views, the best details, and we had the best time. Mrs Captain Tim set everything up and it was just wonderful and highly professional. From pick up to drop off. This is something that you have to do on your next visit to Beaufort. Thank you Captain and Mrs Tim.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We decided to do an inshore fishing trip last minute and these guys were wonderful to work with on getting it set up quickly. Great communication, nice boat, and great fishing! We caught red drum, trout, flounder and lady fish. We also saw several dolphins on the way. Our guide (Nat) is a local and was very knowledgeable - had us catching fish within minutes of getting on the boat. We ended up being able to keep 1 red drum, the flounder and 1 trout. Nat cleaned and filleted them for us when we got back to the dock. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Beaufort.
