Fishing with Captain Donovan
In 2016, I dropped out of college to pursue my dream of being a professional fishing guide. After hundreds of days and thousands of hours on the water, I was able to attain my Captain's License in 2021 and have been a full time fishing guide since.

No matter which trip you decide is the best for you and your group, one thing stays the same - my drive to make your trip as memorable as possible and maximize our opportunities. We use top of the line equipment and tackle from brands like Shimano, Bull Bay Rods, Star Rods, Florida Fishing Products, and others.
Information
Captain Donovan is the Owner/Operator of Reel McCoy Charters on Hilton Head Island, SC.
Your day will be spent on a clean, well-maintained 2016 Sea Hunt 22’ bay boat. This boat is equipped with a hard T top, trolling motor, powerpole, livewells, cooler, and all required USCG safety equipment.
Fishing licenses for all anglers are covered under Captain Donovan's USCG and South Carolina licenses.
We do offer credit card payment, with a 3.5% processing fee.
To save the fees, Cash and Venmo are preferred!
Red Drum are catch and release only for all trips booked AFTER 6/22/25. Redfish are our primary inshore target and the population is on an alarming decline over the last few years. It’s important for our future to take care of them now before it’s too late. You’re welcome to keep other legal fish if you’d like. Please don’t come expecting to fill the freezer, we don’t have that kind of inshore fishery here!
