Captain Aaron
Charter Owner, USCG Licensed Captain

Aaron grew up on and around the waters of New England and the Great Lakes. From racing sailboats to dropping a line wherever he could, the water was always his happy place. Life, however, often intercedes. 9 years as a commissioned officer in the US Navy even sent him only to the desert, never to sea.

Never one to give up, in 2019 he finally moved back to the coast. In 2021, he found his charter in Key West and the adventure really began. Renting a car one way, he and a great first mate sailed her home to Charleston. Then the real work started, refurbishing and improving her step by step.

Captain Aaron is a lifelong student and, well, a nerd. He loves to learn about his boat, about Charleston, about targeted fish and everything in between. He loves to share. He'll chat about everything from the economics and history of the Port of Charleston to the importance of keystone species to the health of our marine environment. Don't forget cooking and

About Your Trip

Please note - shorter trips limit fishing options. You can't chase big game in anything less than a 12 hours trip!

The ocean is big. Really, really big. You never quite know what might jump on your hook, but we'll always have a plan based on season, weather and your interests.

Some days that plan calls for running a couple of hours to deep water to troll and staying on it all day after mahi, tuna, king mackerel or even billfish. Other days call for finding active bottom and hunting sea bass, snapper and grouper. Others, my personal favorite, combine the two. Throw in a cobia or a shark now and again and it's always interesting. Just remember, try as we may, it's still called "fishing", not "catching".

We'll also decide early what you may wish to take home. Billfish and sharks, we'll release to catch again another day and to keep our ecosystems healthy. What you wish to keep, we'll be happy to clean and bag for you, and even offer some suggestions on how to prepare your catch.

6 passengers maximum, includes bait, tackle, ice, fishing license, soft drinks and water. Does not include alcohol, food or gratuity for the hardworking Mate. Prices subject to fuel surcharge in response to price spikes.
