THE CATCH

A broad target list—from snapper to cobia

The charter targets an extensive roster of table and sport fish: Cobia, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Sea Bass, Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, Spadefish and, occasionally, Dolphin (mahi mahi) and sailfish—fish common to the offshore grounds you’ll reach on a full-day trip.

THE RANGE

Blue-water fishing 15–40 miles offshore

Full-day charters run from roughly 15 to 40 miles offshore depending on sea conditions, putting anglers where bottom structure and open-water currents concentrate the fish targeted on these trips.

THE CAPTAIN

Local expertise from Capt. Richard “Rico” Pollitzer

Capt. Richard Pollitzer—known as Rico—has more than 25 years working the waters around Hilton Head and Beaufort; his local knowledge and willingness to customize a day are a central draw of the private charter experience.
