Gone Fishing HHI is a Hilton Head Island-based charter company that offers guided shark and nearshore fishing trips for visitors and residents of the Lowcountry.
The operation focuses on family-friendly, saltwater fishing charters designed for anglers of all ages and experience levels.
Trips include a Shark Fishing Charter (2–4 hours) and a Nearshore Fishing Charter (4–5 hours). Each trip departs from Hilton Head Island and explores nearshore wrecks, inshore creeks, and open ocean locations known for species such as blacktip sharks, hammerheads, red drum, speckled trout, and other coastal gamefish.
Experienced captains provide local knowledge of tides, wrecks, and seasonal patterns, and they deliver clear pre-trip briefings, hands-on coaching, and assistance landing catches. The crew supplies necessary tackle, bait, and life jackets to make trips accessible for beginners and convenient for families.
Gone Fishing HHI operates in compliance with South Carolina fishing regulations and follows responsible handling practices for catch-and-release of protected species when applicable. The company adapts trips to group goals—whether a short shark excursion or an extended nearshore adventure—while prioritizing vessel maintenance, safety protocols, and straightforward communication.
With emphasis on authentic Hilton Head Island fishing experiences, dependable departures, and attentive captains, Gone Fishing HHI provides a reliable option for guests seeking guided, educational, and memorable fishing charters in the Hilton Head area.
