June 29, 2025Dustin was fantastic! This was our second inshore trip in Charleston, and we had an absolute blast. He’s extremely knowledgeable, professional, and taught us a lot along the way. We limited out on redfish quickly—he knew exactly where to take us. We’ll definitely be back to fish with Dustin again!

June 4, 2024The familiar saying goes, "A bad day of fishing beats a good day at work." This sentiment held true for us. Despite not reeling in any fish, it wasn't for lack of effort from the captain. He navigated us to multiple spots, experimented with various baits, and adjusted the fishing gear, all in an effort to entice the fish. His dedication was evident, and we were grateful for his hard work. Moreover, he shared his knowledge of the area and was engaging in conversation. While the fish didn't cooperate, we still enjoyed ourselves. The surroundings were stunning, and we even spotted some dolphins. It was a wonderful family outing, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this excursion to others.

October 20, 2023Dustin exerted considerable effort to ensure we had a successful fishing experience. Despite facing challenging conditions and having limited time before our departure, he shared valuable insights about tide fishing, patiently explaining the techniques involved. Dustin adeptly assisted my daughter, who doesn't fish frequently, ensuring she had an enjoyable trip alongside my son and me. We look forward to returning for another attempt when we're in the area, with hopes of planning a trip on a clearer, non-rainy evening. We appreciate his willingness to take us out, even when it wasn't a necessity.

August 17, 2023Upon our initial arrival at the Folly Beach dock for a two-hour shark fishing expedition, I must admit feeling somewhat underwhelmed by the boat Captain Dustin had arranged for the trip. However, as our two-plus hours unfolded on the water, I quickly realized that the boat was impeccably equipped for this particular adventure. Fishing near the lighthouse, Dustin expertly kept us engaged and informed, even during slower moments. His adept knowledge of the area became evident as he skillfully maneuvered the boat to capitalize on the changing tide. While our 2-hour shark fishing experience might not have been as "productive" as usual, possibly due to the intense heat, both of my sons successfully caught and released impressive bonnets. To keep us engaged, Dustin had the boys cast for trout while we awaited shark bites on the other side of the boat. He even generously extended our time on the water, allowing me to try my luck. Overall, both boys experienced the thrill of landing substantial bonnets, providing the perfect balance of challenge for a fantastic day of fishing. We'll undoubtedly reach out to Atlantic Breeze for our next fishing charter. Thanks again, Dustin!

July 27, 2023We had an excellent experience with Dustin during our 6-hour fishing trip. He was extremely helpful with my 11-year-old and his friend. We successfully caught Redfish, Flounder, Sea Trout, Shark, and even a sizable Ray. Without a doubt, we'll be planning another fishing excursion with Dustin next year.

July 25, 2023Dustin was fantastic, and we had an amazing time! If you're looking to reel in fish and enjoy a fantastic experience, he's the go-to guy. With his in-depth knowledge of the area, he consistently guided us to productive fishing spots. We're absolutely certain to choose Dustin again the next time we visit Folly Beach.

July 22, 2023The captain generously imparted his knowledge and experiences, patiently instructing us on accurate casting techniques. The day unfolded beautifully, with successful fish catches, sightings of porpoises, a visit to the lighthouse, and an enjoyable evening savoring a delicious "red drum on the half shell" grilled in the backyard.

July 29, 2022Dustin is a great fishing guide and worked really hard to put us on the fish. I took two trips one with my family and one with friends. He was very patient with my two young boys on the first trip. Second trip we caught a lot of reds and shorts. Had a dolphin chasing baitfish next to us in one spot which was pretty cool. Will definitely go out with him again when I’m back in the area
