“Great day on the water with Island Head - We had an excellent day renting a pontoon boat with Island Head…4 adults, 2 children, and a 9 month old infant. The staff were friendly and professional, told us everything we needed to get out on the water safely. The boat was clean and well-maintained. Huge area of water to explore, you really need a whole day to see everything. We had a great time and will definitely be renting again from them next year!!” - Reviewed on 2020-07-01

A Day of Fishing and Family Fun

The charter includes all necessary equipment, bait, and bottled water, ensuring a hassle-free experience. As you cast your line, enjoy the stunning scenery and the chance to spot dolphins playing nearby. Even if the fish are elusive, the joy of being on the water with loved ones makes this a memorable outing.

“Great way to see Hilton Head Island and spend time with family - Two years ago we did this charter as well while visiting Hilton Head and had a great experience (and a yummy supper of fish that night). We booked the same tour last week (4 hour fishing for 6 people). We had a great morning on the water with our family. Such beautiful scenery and we got to watch dolphins playing in several locations! Unfortunately, due to recent weather, the fish were sleeping that day, so we didn’t catch supper, but our fishing guide Max worked so hard and did his very best to find the fish. We enjoyed visiting with Max, as he is a local island boy and so knowledgeable about the island.” - Reviewed on 2025-01-06
