Palmetto Lagoon Charters runs guided fishing and nature trips centered on the Palmetto Dunes lagoon system and nearby nearshore waters off Hilton Head Island. The operator offers two primary experiences: a quiet lagoon charter aboard an electric skiff tailored for small groups and families, and an inshore/nearshore fishing charter on a 24-foot Pathfinder captained by a seasoned local. Trips focus on targeted saltwater species such as redfish and tarpon, with guides who combine local knowledge, safety protocols, and gear recommendations to maximize each outing. Vessels and routes are chosen to match guest experience levels, whether seeking a relaxed wildlife and scenery trip through the resort's waterways or a performance-focused nearshore fishing expedition.
