Off Duty Charters offers a great time on the water for everyone, whether you are a complete beginner or an expert angler. A day of fishing with Captain Richard Martinez is fun for all ages!

Enjoy a quick ride to the waters close to shore, which are home to various types of Sharks. There are Blacktip, Atlantic Sharpnose, Bonnethead, and other species of these monsters that are especially great for a “bragging” photo.

If Sharks are not up your street, Capt. Richard can take you out to Port Royal or Calibogue Sound, where you could sample anything from Ladyfish to Redfish. Otherwise, you could check the bite 5-10 miles off the coast of Hilton Head Island, targeting King and Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Drum, and more.

A day out with Off Duty Charters will take place on a 24’ Sea Fox center console, a spacious fishing machine. It is equipped with a single 200 HP Suzuki engine and features modern electronics, outriggers, and an array of quality rods and reels. You will mostly be using spinning and conventional gear, including reels by Penn. Live bait, lures, and fishing licenses are also included in the price.

Grab your lunch and drinks and join in the adventure. It’s fish on!

NOTE: Catch and release only!
