Denise and I had a fantastic 2 hour fishing trip with Captain Kurt. As a fellow veteran, Kurt and I exchanged some military stories as he rode us out to one of his favorite locations. After hearing about all that he’s been through, this man is a true testament to the fortitude of the human body and the will of the human mind to heal and persevere through even the worst things that life can throw at you. Kurt has an uplifting personality and just a super demeanor.
I personally wasn’t feeling my best just before it was time to start our fishing charter. However, we were celebrating Denise’s 50th birthday and she loves to fish, so I sucked it up and got on the boat. Kurt put us on to fish within minutes of anchoring the boat. Denise wanted to catch a red fish and a black drum. Captain Kurt exceeded our expectations, we caught multiple local species including red fish, black drum, pinfish, croaker, whiting and sting rays.
By the end of our trip, I was feeling good again. Denise was ecstatic that she got to catch both of the fish she set out to get. It was truly a great outing. Captain Kurt was not just a charter guide. He is truly a consummate professional and an all around great human being. We made a new friend in Hilton Head and it was like going fishing with my brother. We both can’t recommend Captain Kurt enough and we are both looking forward to our next trip out on the water with him!

This was my second time fishing with Captain Kurt, and once again, it was an unforgettable experience. I wanted to treat my dad and friend to a memorable fishing trip, so I immediately booked with Aqua Excursions. We chose the two-hour beginner shark fishing trip. Although the first hour was slow, Captain Kurt didn’t give up—he took us to a new spot and made sure each of us landed a shark, even extending our time on the water to make it happen.

Captain Kurt’s deep knowledge of the area and the sharks we caught added so much to the trip, but what truly stood out were his incredible stories and passion for what he does. He’s not just a great guide—you’ll leave feeling like you’ve made a new friend. We can’t thank him enough and are already looking forward to our next outing with him.

Captain Kurt, please write that book—we’d be first in line to read it!

Captain Kurt made the shark fishing trip very memorable. He is very knowledgeable, very nice and very entertaining, never a dull moment with him… the kids had a blast. They were able to catch multiple sharks. We will definitely be back!

Thank you, Captain Kurt, for a wonderful morning inshore fishing trip! We had a great time and caught a variety of fish, including Redfish, Pinfish, Black Drum, Stingray, Flounder, Black Bass, and Toadfish. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. Thanks again, Captain Kurt!

We took our 8 year old grandson for his first fishing trip on a boat.  We stayed in-shore so the water wasn’t rough, and we caught several types of fish.  Captain Kurt was great with our grandson, showing him how to bottom fish with shrimp bait. On the way back he took us through the marsh so my grandson could look for alligators; we didn’t see any, but he got to take the helm for a few minutes.  Overall, a great trip.
