Your departure point
Fishing charters from Harbour Town Yacht Basin
This is where your day starts. Here is everything you need to know about departing Harbour Town, from directions and parking to what the rest of the family can do while you fish.
Southern Hook charters depart Harbour Town Yacht Basin at 160 Lighthouse Road, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928, the marina beneath the Harbour Town Lighthouse in The Sea Pines Resort. Plan to arrive a little early, find public parking and meet Ian at the dock.
Harbour Town is one of the most photographed spots on the East Coast, a yacht basin ringed by shops and restaurants and marked by the red-and-white striped lighthouse. It is a wonderful place to begin a day of fishing, and it puts the Atlantic within a short run.
