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. Shark fishing trips on Hilton Head Island are a one-of-a-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.
