About this experience
The inlets, sounds, bays, tidal creeks, marsh grass and oyster banks in our area make Charleston one of the top inshore fishing destinations on the East Coast, and for very good reason. With over slot redfish tailing in the grass to doormat flounder being pulled from the muddy bottom, our inshore charter is sure to inspire you to come back to our beautiful estuaries. That is why inshore charters are our specialty! Flounder, speckled sea trout, lady fish, or black drum are also popular amongst inshore anglers. Seasickness, big waves and wind are minimal for inshore charters, so these trips are perfect for families who do not want to deal with the harsh elements the sea can offer. While on your Charleston inshore fishing trip, you can expect to see more than just the fish we are targeting. Dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and otters frequent the area and often come close to our boats.
