Amazing Captain, Great Boat
6hr Reef/Jetty/Harbor Fishing trip on October 7, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Hayden. The ocean was a bit tough on us because of recent storms and extreme high tides, but that didnt stop Captain Hayden from putting us on some fish anyways.
He used multiple techniques until everone on our trip landed a fish. The best part of the entire trip was how great the captain was with the kids we brought with us. All we've heard from the boys has been, "Captain Hayden was awesome," "When are we going fishing with Captain Hayden again?" So much gratitude for making this so special for them. Thanks for the memories!

An Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure with Captain Hayden!
4hr Harbor/Jetties Redfish/Shark AM on July 4, 2025 • 3 adults • 3 children
Had an incredible 4-hour trip with Short Skirts Sportfishing and Captain Hayden! Our group of 3 adults and 3 teens caught many Redfish, a flounder, and even a shark! We also saw a dolphin. Captain Hayden was fantastic—super patient, fun, and great with the kids. His passion for fishing and deep knowledge of the Charleston area really came through. The boat was large, clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was memorable. Highly recommend for families visiting Charleston!

Great young energetic captain!
4hr Harbor/Jetties Redfish/Shark AM on July 19, 2025 • 2 adults
Hayden was fantastic! Started off catching fresh bait and went straight to the first hole where we caught a 4 foot bull shark and a little shark, a white fish and a sting ray. We had ahold of what felt like a school bus which broke the line. Then went to a few other holes. We were here in the off season so didn’t expect to put too many fish in the boat but Hayden was determined to get us something. He was very personable and knew what he was doing.

Great captain
6hr Reef/Jetty/Harbor Fishing trip on September 27, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children
Great captain, very personable. He was great with kids as we had a 13-year-old and 11-year-old. He definitely made the experience a lot more enjoyable as we have had other captains that made the trip hard and unbearable. Hayden is a Super nice and great guy, I would definitely book again with him.
