Absolutely amazing fishing trip from start to finish! The Captain was outstanding and made the entire experience fun, easy, and memorable. His coaching and instruction were top-notch. He took the time to explain what we were doing, helped everyone improve, and knew exactly how to put us on the fish. What really stood out was how great he was with the boys. He was patient, encouraging, and made sure they were involved and having a great time the entire trip. We caught some great fish, learned a lot, and made memories together that we’ll be talking about for a long time. Couldn’t have asked for a better Captain or experience. Hands down one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever taken. 5 stars all the way and we will absolutely be booking with him again!
What a GREAT fishing trip we had with Captain Sean! While the water was around 90-92 degrees we still hooked on 23 fish on our morning run! (Red drum, trout, whiting, and a croaker) Capt Sean was so knowledgeable about the wildlife both in the water and above the water! We saw dolphins, mullet, blue crabs, gar, and many types of birds throughout the time! As far as the fishing and basics go, he made us feel very welcomed and taught us many tips and tricks that we never thought of before. If you're looking for a good time out in the water, I would highly highly recommend Sean! We will hopefully be back in October/November 🎣
My 7 year old has always wanted to go salt water fishing. We live about 8 hours away from Georgia so we didn’t particularly want to keep the fish. He did but we had a weekend filled with exploring Savannah. We book on the Panga Express. The captain was perfect! He was knowledgeable and explained and educated my son. When my son caught a fish the captain made sure to make a big deal about it! We caught several fish. Only complaint was we booked a 2 hour excursion we wished we had booked longer! My family and son will definitely be back soon. Thank you captain Sean for an amazing experience!
We had an amazing Father's Day with Captain Sean! he was extremely knowledgeable about local wildlife and fishing as well as local conservation efforts. Most of us we beginner fishermen at best but Captain Sean made us feel comfortable with the equipment and techniques right away! we ended up catching several fish: a couple of snaggle tooth fish, a red fish and a small shark!! As amazing as it was to catch these guys it was more rewarding letting them go afterwards. i will definitely recommend and/or return with others in the future!!

Captain Sean is amazing! He put together a steller morning fishing plan for out 6 to 9 am charter. Despite odd weather front Sean took us to experience cathing beautiful solid trout around dock lights. Then a run to catch numerous redfish including one in 20 inch range.We caught and released numerous beautiful fish. Captain Sean is excellent,affordable, and you see his pasion for teaching care of fisheries and the environment! Book with him for day of great memories! Was such a fun day!
We had the best time fishing this morning! Captain Sean was the best! He was so informative, helpful, and made us feel so comfortable out there. I only booked an hour and I would recommend longer for sure. We just didn’t know. The fish didn’t bite for us but we loved the boat ride, seeing dolphins, and learning more about fishing and the area! Definitely recommend and we can’t wait to come back again for a longer trip!! Thanks Captain!!
what a great experience and memory we made! Captain was very knowledgeable! We could tell he enjoys being a fishing guide ( and related to ocean) !!! First of all, it was very safe boat trip. The weather was beautiful but water was cold, so we weren’t able to catch the fish within one hour. However our kids felt fish biting, learned how to fish/how to use fishing rod, and enjoyed the experience so much!!!! They were not sad or complained at all! Captain made tons of efforts so kids could catch fish, was SO patient with my 3 kids who had no idea how to fish, and spent 90min with us. Kids want to do it again and I would say this was our highlight of the winter break! thank you so much!!

I purchased this trip as a Father’s Day gift for my husband and father in law. We waited on the weather to cool off a bit to go. They had a great time. They were rained out on the initial date and Captain Sean was very prompt to keep them updated and tried to make it work. He was very easy to talk to and work with. My husband said he would love to do another trip. We highly recommend!!
Sean was just I cant even put into words!So accommodating so friendly so involved with wanting you to have a good time and get on some fish ! My son cannot stop talking about his day! This charter I would recommend 1000x over!Sean you made the Edwards families trip one for the vacation archives! thank you so much and keep doing what your doing!

10/10 star rating from our crew for the "catch and release" fishing adventure with Captain Sean. From first point of contact, Captain Sean made us feel welcome and cared for. For the kiddo's (12 and 13 years old) "it was da best" they both caught fish, learned how to live bait with wee shrimp, cast and catch. Dad and Grandad also learned a lot about fishing, tides and Savannah marshes, along with history, and great stories. The rest of the family has now put it at the top of their list for Savannah "must do" experiences. Thank you Captain Sean.
