Most of the time people don’t go looking for sharks, but aboard big boats with experienced captains at command, it’s a different story. Whether you want to get in on the action with shark fishing trips on Hilton Head Island or stand back and get a sight of what were once known as “sea dogs” to mariners, there’s nothing like this kind of experience. This season, get offshore with a guide to catch a glimpse of the blacktips, bonnet heads and Atlantic sharpnose sharks that call our waters home.
