Unforgettable Day on the Water!…read more We had the absolute best time with Captain Bryan! From the moment we set off, Bryan's energy, knowledge, and sense of fun made the trip something truly special. We went shark tooth hunting (and found A LOT!), got an awesome history lesson along the way, and explored beautiful Daufuskie Island. Bryan is not only an incredible captain but also a fantastic guide who made the entire experience engaging and memorable for the whole family. This was hands down the best charter we've ever done--so glad we got to make these memories together. Highly recommend booking with Captain Bryan!

Finding him and the boat was easy and he was ready to go. We took advantage of the cooler on board and thanks for the blanket because it did get cold once the sun set. We learned a lot about the Savannah waterways and history but at the same time we also got to just sit and take in the incredible sunset and dolphins. You can tell he just loves doing this! PS we loved his music taste too :-)

Matt knew exactly where to go to put us on fish. If you an expert fisherman you'll have a wonderful time as well as the beginner. One of our crew was a young 12 and he had some much fun. Matt was great with everyone in our group. His boat was brand new and so clean. There was plenty of room for us all. We really enjoyed being out on the water around HHI. Could have stayed out all day. If you're going to HHI or Bluffton, you should definitely book a trip with Southern Roots Fishing Charters. You won't be disappointed.

The overall ambience and experience just magnifies all the best qualities of the low country. The music is amazing and the staff are super friendly and attentive. The boat is always clean and spacious. Special shoutout to Darnell who has been on most of our recent trips. He's the hardest working guy on the boat and just strives to make sure everyone has a wonderful experience and keeps the boat looking amazing! This is an activity everyone should experience.

Most importantly, this was a unique tour experience. You drive your own little two person speedboat and follow the tour guide, and these boats move much faster than I expected. Our tour was a little modified because some rain was coming through the area, but we still got to see dolphins. We were in a calm river and were right up close to them at one point. The guide knew right where to find them. I'd recommend checking this out for a fun few hours while visiting Hilton Head.

The first time I visited Hilton Head, my family took this sunset cruise because we received a…read morevoucher after our time share presentation. For nostalgic reasons, I decided to treat the family to one on our visit to Hilton Head this year. We were fortunate to find a parking space in the parking lot near the Lighthouse at Sea Pines. We walked around a bit until one of the benches in the harbor opened up. The family stayed there while I went to figure out where to get onto the boat. This gave me the opportunity to take some pictures in the harbor. When we boarded the boat, we were guided to a table on the lower deck which was air conditioned. The sun was blazing through the window and we unfortunately did not have a shade that we could pull down like there were at some of the other tables. We made the best of it. Our server was very friendly. He explained that he was working to meet people and to see what he could learn. By the end of the trip, he exchanged information with my son. The meal was surprisingly good. I was skeptical and thought that it might be bland because it was mass produced. Every dish was prepared well and had good flavor. Everyone in my party truly enjoyed their meals. The sights are tremendous. We saw a few dolphins while the boat was underway. The sunset was breathtaking. I definitely recommend this experience.
