Captain Frank Schomaker is the kind of man who was built for the sea. A retired first responder and lifelong waterman, Frank doesn’t just take people fishing; he delivers unforgettable offshore adventures rooted in skill, soul, and a deep respect for the ocean.
Raised on boats and casting lines since he was five years old, Frank’s life has always revolved around the water. He cut his teeth fishing the hard currents of New York before discovering the wild beauty and deep blue waters off South Carolina. That’s where it all came together, his passion, purpose, and next calling: guiding others to the kind of offshore experiences most people only dream about.
As the heart and soul behind Resuwrecktion Charters, Captain Frank is known for one thing above all: delivering legendary offshore fishing experiences. While most Charleston captains stay inshore chasing redfish, Frank runs with the elite few who go where the real action is, deep offshore, chasing mahi, tuna, wahoo, and billfish in waters that demand experience and nerve.
His vessel, the 31' Pursuit Cuddy Cabin, is a beautifully restored sportfishing machine, powerful, fast, and comfortable. With twin 300-horsepower Yamaha engines and cutting-edge electronics, it’s designed for speed and stability, perfect for small groups who want to go farther and catch bigger without sacrificing comfort. Built in 2003 and fully restored in 2021, it’s the kind of boat that turns heads and delivers results.
But gear is only part of the story. What makes Frank truly special is the man himself.
Frank is a retired first responder who brings calm confidence and absolute safety to every trip. He knows how to read the water, handle pressure, and lead people, not just as a captain, but as someone who’s spent his life protecting others. Onboard, he’s laid-back, sharp-witted, and endlessly passionate. He creates a welcoming and authentic vibe, where strangers become friends, and every trip feels like you’ve been invited into something special.
Frank’s guests don’t just catch fish; they leave with stories. They remember when a billfish exploded out of the water to steal a mahi off the line. They talk about hooking two blue billfish at once in pure chaos and glory. And they come back, year after year, because they know no one does it like Captain Frank.
His specialty? High-thrill, full-send offshore fishing with a personal touch. Whether you’re booking a short run or an all-day billfish hunt, Frank brings the same energy, the same grit, and the same legendary hospitality that keeps serious anglers coming back, and brings new ones into the fold.
