The company offers three primary experiences: the Island Cat Charter on a 26’ power catamaran configured for larger groups and events; private Fishing Charters run by Captain Colin targeting redfish, speckled sea trout, and sharks around Daniel Island; and the Blue Goose Charter aboard a 36’ Little Harbor Whisper Jet for scenic coastal cruises. Each trip includes vessel-specific amenities: the Island Cat provides shaded seating, a restroom, and Yeti coolers for group comfort; the Blue Goose is guided by experienced operators through Charleston’s waterways; fishing trips focus on species typical to the Lowcountry tidal zones.
