About Your Trip

Our most popular outing for families, this is an inshore adventure targeting primarily sharks (although we do often catch other fish) and is tailored to the group on board.

A Live Oac classic, and one of our most popular family outings in the warmer months! This trip is tailored to the group on board. Relax and enjoy some casual family fishing for smaller coastal shark species like Black Tips, Atlantic Sharpnose, Bonnetheads (a species of hammerhead shark), and more. Offered during the warmer months, approx. April through September when we have the best shot at finding these critters. We also have a chance at seeing other ‘non-shark’ fish on this trip as well, and the occasional "monster" shark, too!

As a shorter 3hr charter, this is a good choice for families with younger anglers with shorter attention spans, or even for adult groups that just want a brief outing. We'll focus on nearby inshore waters, places like the salt marsh tidal creeks, rivers, and sounds (“bays”), to maximize our fishing time. Or choose the 4hr version if you want more fishing time or the opportunity to travel a bit further.

The boat itself, immediately sets this trip apart from other charter companies. The Freeman 29 is renowned for its near perfect size and shape (a Freeman Boatworks High Performance Catamaran), which allows it to glide across choppy water as if it's glass calm. She's got more than enough space, feeling more like a 34' traditional monohull, so the family has plenty of room on board and won't feel crowded.. The gunwales (a boat's "side walls") are nice and high, so you don't have to worry about your little "scrambler" inadvertently going for a swim. You'll feel nice and secure aboard this high-end craft. The quality and workmanship of this custom built boat will speak for itself.

Owner/Capt Blair grew up exploring the waters of both the Delmarva Peninsula and the Hilton Head Island area since the late 70s. Taking friends and family on boating and fishing adventures turned into a lifelong passion, and in 1996 he turned it into a profession as he began guiding kayak tours on HHI. A few thousand kayakers and a few years later and he became a licensed boat captain, and by 2006 was running his own charter company. Blair now operates the flagship vessel, a Freeman 29 custom center console catamaran. She's a sleek vessel, a virtual "Ferrari of Fishing Boats" and he's excited to share a trip with you. Blair is not only a fishing guide but an engaging host with a wide knowledge of the local waterways and nature. After getting started with family and friends many decades ago, he still follows the same recipe:

"I treat every trip as if it were an outing with my own family." — Capt. Blair

Had a great experience out on the water with Captain Blair. He answered all my kids questions about sharks and fishing in the ocean. Ended up getting six fine tooth sharks.
