Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 30, 2025
Captain Victor made our fishing experience both enjoyable and educational. He guided us to four different spots, and we started catching fish right away at each location. Victor provided valuable insights into the fish we caught and their habitats, making the trip even more engaging. Our four-hour excursion flew by due to the fun and successful fishing. I highly recommend Victor and Carolina Charters for an exceptional fishing adventure.
June 30, 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon fishing trip! The boys were thrilled with their first boat experience, and Captain Victor was incredibly patient and encouraging with them. They couldn’t stop talking about how nice he was and how much they appreciated his guidance.
June 30, 2025
Had an amazing trip with Captain Victor! He went above and beyond to cater to our needs and helped us target the fish we were after. Thanks to his guidance, I finally caught my first keeper-size Sheepshead!
June 30, 2025
Captain Victor was incredibly accommodating for our trip. We traveled from New York during a week of storms and rain, and he worked with us to reschedule. On our new date, another downpour hit, and he kindly gave us the option to try again the next day. When we finally made it out, he was upfront about the slow fishing conditions and even offered to refund our deposit if we wanted to cancel. We decided to go for it, and while the fish weren’t biting much, my youngest still managed to catch a little shark and a crab! Captain Victor took us to multiple spots, doing everything possible to find the fish. Despite leaving empty-handed, we had an incredible time, and the kids are already excited to come back next year. I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great experience. Huge thanks to Captain Victor for making it such a memorable trip!
June 30, 2025
Captain Victor was an excellent host! He took us to great fishing spots, and my boys and I had an amazing time. We caught several Sheepshead, along with Red and White Drum. Victor was polite, courteous, and always ready to bait hooks while making sure we had the best experience. We also felt completely safe on his boat. On top of that, he went the extra mile by promptly mailing back a few items we accidentally left behind. Overall, it was an outstanding trip, and we highly recommend Victor and Carolina Charters!
June 30, 2025
Victor got us to our first fishing spot with lines in the water just ten minutes after leaving the dock. He knew exactly where to go and set us up for success. We ended up catching all three types of fish he mentioned we might find. He took the time to explain how each fish would bite, and once we got the feel for it, we had no trouble reeling them in. A great experience all around!
