We made our reservations about a month…read moreout, and then when it came to be the day of our scheduled sail, thunderstorms and rain was moving through the area. But Captain Steve was on it and made sure to phone us in the morning as we devised a potential plan/time in the afternoon to touch base before we called it. We tracked the weather through the day, and once the afternoon rolled around, he said as long as it was good at departure time, we could go out and described the plans he had depending on what weather we might have. Thankfully, the day turned itself around and it was gorgeous by sailing time. We were able to bring our own drinks and snacks, so we got those onboard and we were off. I mentioned that I'd really love to see dolphins, if he knew where they might be. Either Captain Steve or his son Zach, who came along to help, made sure to point out any dolphins that were seen. We even got close to a couple which was a really neat experience. We had the option to sit back inside the boat or up top, and could move around as we pleased. We had such a fun and relaxing time during our sail. Captain Steve is super experienced and was very comfortable answering all the questions we had. His boat is well maintained and has a bathroom on board (bonus when you're on a 4 hour sail with drinks!) Highly recommend anyone looking for a unique experience to contact Captain Steve.

Trent was recommended to me by a fellow 1977 classmate of mine from Sea Pines Academy, Kent Grady…read moreBird a great angler in his own right. I was on HHI for Thanksgiving and wanted to wet a line. From the jump, I could tell Trent and Penny (who runs the back office) were on top of their game. Communication was great, quick responses and very friendly. Originally I wanted to include my 93 y/o mom on the trip because she had a bucket list item to fish one more time. Penny and Trent were very accommodating while we planned the morning for my mom. In the end, the weather kept my mom off the water, so I fished by myself. Trent was ready to go when I arrived and as a former tournament redfish angler, I could see he had great equipment and the perfect boat. Just being on the water is therapy for me and despite the rain and a little wind, Trent had me on fish in no time. Trent is a HHI native and he's been guiding the area for 25 years and it shows. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and really wants his clients to have a great time. He'll fish both artificial and bait depending on what the conditions are, and we caught fish using just about everything we threw. It's hard to beat the beauty of the low country at sunrise even when it's raining. Sea turtles, dolphin, ducks, pelicans, all kinds of wildlife around, and Trent knew just where to go to catch some fish. Since a photo is worth 1,000 words, I'll let my photos do the talking. Overall I had a great morning fishing with Trent and highly recommend hi to anyone looking to fish the inshore waters around HHI. You won't regret booking a charter with him, and the next time I'm back, I'll be giving him a call to fish the lagoon system. Give him a call today and set up a great fishing trip the next time you're around Hilton Head! #palmettolagooncharters Palmetto Lagoon Charters

Caught lots of fun trash fish but also caught 10 sea trout and a redfish. Great boat ride out, beautiful day, Super fun. Get back to the dock and the Capt Jeremy cleans and filets our catch, bags them and gives us a bag of ice. Bring a cooler (you never know, you will probably catch dinner) I had paid twice the price for a charter in Miami and didn't bring home near the fish. Really enjoyed this day. He took us around oyster beds. Just a great day. We had only 3 people in our group and I think he could 4 pretty easily. He will cast it for you too. He kept all baited and straight out there.

I wish I could rate Thunderbolt Charters as ZERO stars! Their professionalism is nonexistent. We…read morefound out, once on the water, that Capt. Reynolds & his son, Jeremy, aren't even full time Charter providers. They both have full time jobs elsewhere. No wonder they couldn't put us on the fish. My husband & I only caught 2 keepers on our 4 hour in-shore charter. If you go to their website, look for the date September 13, 2015. You'll see a picture of a flounder, that was NOT a keeper, that Quasi-Captain Jeremy caught. And you'll see a sentence that says "As usual, Jeremy did an excellent job putting them on the fish". I'm calling B.S. on that one!! He was so busy on his phone the majority of the time, he couldn't find the fish if he tried. Then, as I'm casting, the reel falls off of my rod, plunk, into the water. Jeremy got upset, copped an attitude & was only worried about getting the line back in without it getting tangled. My husband gave him the idea to pull the reel up by the line, as the line was still attached. Sometime after that, Jeremy must have called his father & advised him of what happened, because we were met by Captain Reynolds when we returned to the marina. They both insinuated that they expected us to pay for the damaged reel. Even going as far as saying "That's about an $80.00 reel. Usually when one of our charters damage the equipment, we give it to them as it's no use to us anymore". The audacity!! They also insinuated that I must have untightened the reel & that caused the malfunction. I explained & showed the captain that my hands are small, therefore, I don't hold the rod that far up. He threw his hands up, muttered something & walked off. After we hand Jeremy the check for the balance due for the trip (they only require a deposit when you book), he looks at it & states "A broken reel & no tip. Don't come back! ". News flash Thunderbolt Charters: we knew an hour into the trip that we wouldn't be back. And your tip? Here it is: MAINTAIN YOUR EQUIPMENT SO ACCIDENTS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REEL DON'T HAPPEN !!!
