Captain Blair, the owner, has been familiar with the waters surrounding both the Delmarva Peninsula and Hilton Head Island since the late 1970s. What started as leisurely boating and fishing excursions with friends and family soon turned into a lifelong passion. In 1996, he transformed this passion into a career by guiding kayak tours around Hilton Head Island. After guiding thousands of kayakers over the years, he earned his captain’s license and by 2006 launched his own charter business.
Today, Blair commands a Freemans 29-foot custom center console catamaran, a stylish and high-performance vessel often called the "Ferrari of Fishing Boats." He looks forward to welcoming guests aboard for an unforgettable fishing adventure. More than just a guide, Blair is a personable host with extensive knowledge of the local waterways and wildlife.
Starting out with family and friends all those years ago, Captain Blair still approaches every trip with the same mindset: "I treat every outing like I’m taking my own family out on the water."
Guests consistently praise their experiences with Captain Blair. One family mentioned how he patiently answered all of their children’s questions about sharks and ocean fishing during a trip that ended with catching six fine tooth sharks. Another couple shared that their first fishing adventure with young kids was a perfect and patient introduction, giving a five-star rating and promising to book again. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a family looking for a fun day on the water, Captain Blair provides a memorable and enjoyable experience for all.

Our most sought-after family excursion is an inshore fishing adventure primarily targeting sharks, although we often hook other species too. This experience is customized to suit the group on board, ensuring a fun and engaging outing for everyone.
A signature trip with Live Oac and a favorite during the warmer months, from approximately April through September, this charter offers relaxed, casual fishing for smaller coastal sharks such as Black Tips, Atlantic Sharpnose, Bonnetheads (a type of hammerhead shark), and more. Besides sharks, there’s also the possibility of catching other fish species and even encountering the occasional larger “monster” shark.
This shorter, 3-hour charter is ideal for families with young anglers who might have shorter attention spans, as well as adult groups looking for a brief but memorable fishing experience. We concentrate our efforts in nearby inshore waters, including salt marsh tidal creeks, rivers, and sounds (bays), to maximize your time on the water. For those seeking extra fishing time or the chance to explore further, a 4-hour option is also available.
The boat itself sets this trip apart. The Freeman 29, a Freeman Boatworks High Performance Catamaran, is celebrated for its near-perfect size and design, allowing it to glide smoothly over choppy waters as if they were glass. With spaciousness comparable to a 34-foot traditional monohull, families enjoy ample room without feeling cramped. High gunwales provide an added safety feature to prevent adventurous little ones from accidentally falling overboard, giving everyone peace of mind onboard this premium, custom-built vessel.
Catch and release only.
