    Shark fishing enthusiasts, take note: Captain Drew and Captain Terry run an operation that guests genuinely love returning to year after year. The standout feature here is consistent shark action, with groups regularly catching multiple species in a single trip, including impressive specimens ranging from 3 to 6 feet. Beyond sharks, crews also haul in Spanish mackerel, vermillion snapper, jack crevalle, stingrays, and even barracuda. What really comes through is how both captains handle challenging conditions and diverse groups. They'll adjust trip times for weather safety, work patiently with inexperienced anglers, and keep kids ranging from toddlers to teens engaged throughout the experience. Families especially appreciate the fast-paced action that keeps younger passengers from getting bored while adults get their thrill reeling in bigger catches. The customer service is where this charter really shines, with multiple reviewers calling it the highlight of their entire vacation. Both captains bring extensive experience and teaching skills to the table, making beginners feel comfortable while still delivering for seasoned anglers. That said, there's one important caveat: if you're specifically looking to catch fish for dinner rather than catch-and-release shark fishing, this might not be your best match. One guest felt disappointed after a five-hour trip focused heavily on shark fishing when they'd emphasized wanting edible fish from the start. For most visitors though, the shark-focused experience is exactly what they're after, and the personal, small-group atmosphere beats larger commercial excursions hands down.

    Book now!! This shark fishing experience was not only our favorite thing we did in Hilton head, but it once in a lifetime experience! Terry was awesome and made it very memorable. Our kids are 11 and 16, they couldn’t say enough of good things too. This is much more cost-effective and personal experience versus going on a big excursion! We cannot say enough, good things about tail tamers, and this will be something we will never!
