More Testimonials
Steve- I just wanted to say thank you for everything you did for me while I was visiting Edisto Island. It was our first trip there and it will now be an annual trip. As I am sure you are aware at this point I am a novice boater to say the least. Upon our arrival I learned that I could not keep my boat at the resort. Everyone at the Edisto Marina was extremely helpful in accommodating me and my family with our boating situation. As we were prepared to launch I had difficulty in getting the boat started, which as luck would have it you were there to assist me, and actually educate me on where to fish, and the locations. Although you were a charter captain I think it speaks volumes of your character that you would give up your honey holes to strangers that you had just met, and who were not booking a charter through you. Thanks to that information we had the fishing trip of a lifetime. We were exhausted from all the fish we caught and amazed of how many large runs we had that lines were broken after fifteen minute battles with the unknown.
As you were aware my older boat broke down on that Sunday and I was left stranded in the water. However, a made one phone call to you and you came out and towed my boat on Sunday. I really appreciate it you helping me loading my boat upon returning to the dock and going out of your way to store my boat on your property free of charge, which enabled me to have my brother in law bring my John Boat down. I can't thank you enough.
After the trip of a lifetime I then headed home and was about forty minutes away from the Island when my trailer on the boat broke down and was not drivable. I placed another call to you and again you were able to call several places and arrange not only a tow, but a place to have my boat repaired and stored until I am able to come back down and pick it up.
As you know I live in Virginia in the DC Metropolitan Area and it is hard to meet people such as yourself who are willing to take care of total strangers and extend the courteous you extended to me and my family. Sir, you are truly a Southern Gentlemen.
I look forward to my next trip to your neck of the woods and you can count on us booking a charter with you. If there is anything I can ever do for you I would gladly be willing to return the favor.
Sincerely,
Chadwick S. Oxley
