Stratton was first class leading up to the trip with his willingness to extend his day to benefit us. Then to set us up for a great evening on calm waters and plentiful fish we had a great evening. Kudos to the team.

Captain Stratton and first mate Kian were awesome to fish with. Knowledgeable about the waters, what’s biting and where. We’d book with him anytime we’re in Hilton head

Captain Stratton and his crewman were outstanding ! He setup a great plan for our six hour trip and executed it perfectly. We caught our fill of fish and had a great time doing it . I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great day on the water.

Not only was his communication top notch, but he had us on fish within the first few minutes of dropping lines.
Great knowledge of the water ways, great teacher, and both on board were beyond friendly and could keep us entertained.

We will be booking with him again!

We had a great trip with Capt. Stratton. He put us on fish and made everyone comfortable, to include my 12 y/o daughter who had never been out on a charter. We will definitely be back!

Stratton couldn’t have been better. The entire boat caught lots of fish and even a few sharks! He let my nephew help clean the fish at the end.

Had a trip last week and we got on the sheepshead pretty good. They are great for eating and a 5 hour trip is usually perfect to get plenty for dinner.
