About the Captain
Make memories fishing with me, Capt. Richard Pollitzer (or " Rico" for a more fun, less formal approach), a native to Beaufort County who has been in the charter fishing business around Hilton Head and Beaufort for over 25 years and on the water my whole life. I will literally fish for anything that will eat and show you a great time doing it. I try to customize my charters to fit your hopes and leave you happy at the end of the day. I am a proud member of the North End Charter Fleet (www.northendcharterfleet.com), a group of ten operator/owner charter captains. We all run our own businesses and our own boats which means that your happiness with your sport fishing experience is important to us. We all have a vested interest in making you want to come back for more.
