  • Captain: Jim Clark, licensed 1997
  • Open: Seven days a week

Stray Cat Charters is Captain Jim Clark's business: he earned his captain's license in 1997 and started the company in 2002, and says most of his customers are repeats. The boat is a 37-foot Tideline catamaran with twin 450-horsepower Yamaha outboards and plenty of deck for fishing. The company is open every day, takes bookings by phone at (843) 683-5427 or through its site, and takes payment at the end of the trip.

Trips

  • Fishing trips: inshore sport fishing in local waters, or offshore deep-sea fishing.

  • Large groups: for corporate outings, bachelor parties and family reunions the captain can bring in more boats.

  • Evening nature tours and dolphin cruises: for guests who would rather not fish, and easy on small children.

  • Gift certificates: available for fishing charters and dolphin cruises; ask the captain.

Captain Jim will tell you what you can keep under current rules and cleans your catch afterward. A mate usually comes along in busy season, and a tip of 15 to 20 percent is customary.

Finding the Dock

The boat leaves from 2 Hudson Road, behind Skull Creek Dockside on the north end. Compare it with the other boats on our Hilton Head fishing charters page, or see the directory of Hilton Head activity companies.
