This charter is a dream-come-true for two brothers--Captain Kurt and Kevin. Born and raised on the beautiful Emerald Coast of Panama City Beach, Florida, the brothers learned to fish at an extremely early age. With year-round seasons and little or no bag limits "way back when," Kurt and Kevin gained their invaluable fishing experience on multitudes of offshore fish such as enormous Gag Grouper, Scamp, and Red Snapper, as well as inshore species like Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Redfish. Now, after over two decades of working in their professional occupations, fishing the Carolina Low Country and other areas only when work would allow, the brothers have finally come to understand the old saying, "choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Come join us as we enjoy fishing the pristine waters in and around Hilton Head Island. We guarantee you won't regret it!

What a fantastic day on the water with Captain Kurt!! Super nice fella, very amiable, very knowledgeable and great fishing guide for Hilton Head. We thoroughly enjoyed the time with Kurt and the fishing experience. Kurt is very helpful, provides excellent guidance and at the same time, somehow manages to not intrude. He is very professional and clearly loves what he is doing. We will not hesitate to call on Capt the next time we are on Hilton Head and looking to do some fishing. Thank you, Captain Kurt!!!

Kurt is also a former Marine, and on this Memorial Day weekend, we thank him for his service to our Country.

This trip exceed our expectations. Leading up to the trip Kurt was able to personally answer questions I had. He was on time and ready to go when we arrived. He knows the area very well and mentioned he has done over a 1000 trips in this area. He also has an extensive history of fishing experience in Florida as well. He took us to two different spots and we caught fish at both locations. We wished inland which is what I wanted. The scenery during the trip was beautiful. Kurt was absolutely amazing. He did a great job keeping my 15 and 13 yr old interested, and even took the time to patiently answer all 10,000 questions they asked him. (Lol). I can tell he REALLY enjoys doing this for kids. I felt like he is willing to accommodate almost anything you may want with a bit of coordination ahead of time. He provided beverages but we brought our own water anyhow. Something worth noting is that he personally videos and takes pictures for you. This is nice with kids so I didn’t have to worry about it. All in all, I 100% would use him again and can not say enough good things about the experience. We caught a bunch of fish and had a blast. Thank you Kurt!
