Choose Your North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charter
Different fishing trips provide very different experiences. The best option depends on your group, available time, fishing experience, and how far offshore you want to travel.
Inshore Fishing Charters
Inshore Fishing Charters focus on protected waters including the Intracoastal Waterway, creeks, marshes, backwaters, and inlet areas.
Inshore trips are especially popular with families, younger anglers, beginners, and guests who prefer less offshore travel.
Nearshore Fishing Charters
Nearshore Fishing Charters move into coastal Atlantic waters to fish reefs, wrecks, structure, bait schools, and seasonal feeding areas.
Nearshore fishing offers a useful middle ground between protected inshore fishing and longer offshore trips.
Shark Fishing Charters
Shark Fishing Charters focus specifically on targeting coastal and nearshore sharks when seasonal conditions are favorable.
These private trips are popular with families, teenagers, first-time shark anglers, groups of friends, and fishermen looking for the opportunity to fight a powerful coastal fish.
Offshore Fishing Charters
Offshore Fishing Charters travel beyond the nearshore fishing grounds into deeper Atlantic waters.
Our 6- and 8-hour offshore trips provide additional range for anglers interested in trolling, structure fishing, and seasonal opportunities farther from the coastline.
Deep Sea Fishing Charters
Deep Sea Fishing Charters are full-day and extended offshore trips focused primarily on deeper reefs, wrecks, ledges, live bottom, and productive bottom-fishing structure.
These trips are designed for anglers who want additional offshore range and more time to work deeper structure.
Gulf Stream Fishing Charters
Gulf Stream Fishing Charters are our longest-range fishing trips.
Our 12-hour Gulf Stream bottom fishing trip focuses on deep offshore structure, while our 14-hour trolling trip is designed for long-range pelagic fishing.
Fishing Instruction
Fishing Instruction is available for anglers who want hands-on help improving fishing techniques, boat-fishing skills, equipment knowledge, and understanding of local waters.
Private Eco, Dolphin & Wildlife Tours
Guests who want to experience the waterways without making fishing the primary activity can choose a Private Eco, Dolphin & Wildlife Tour.
These trips explore the Intracoastal Waterway, marshes, creeks, barrier-island environments, wildlife areas, and waterways surrounding North Myrtle Beach and Little River.

Local Fishing Experience Since 1991
North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters was founded in 1991 by Captain Keith Logan after years of fishing the waters around North Myrtle Beach, Little River, and the surrounding Carolina coast.
Captain Keith brings more than 40 years of local fishing experience to the operation. That experience matters because fishing here is constantly changing. A location that produces under one tide, wind direction, water temperature, current, or season may fish differently under another.
“I’ve spent my life fishing these waters, and I still enjoy sharing them with new anglers every day. Whether it’s your first trip or your fiftieth, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely enjoy your time on the water.” — Captain Keith Logan

Family-Friendly Fishing Charters in North Myrtle Beach
For many families, an Inshore Fishing Charter is a good starting point because it offers protected-water fishing and less ocean travel.
Other families may prefer Nearshore Fishing or a Shark Fishing Charter, while experienced groups may be ready for offshore, deep sea, or Gulf Stream fishing.
Tell us the ages in your group, your experience level, how much time you have available, and how comfortable everyone is on the ocean. We can help you choose an appropriate trip.

Quick Answers About North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters
How much does a North Myrtle Beach fishing charter cost?
Private fishing charters currently start at $500 for a 4-hour inshore fishing trip. Pricing increases according to charter type, trip length, vessel, and group size. Nearshore fishing costs $700 for 4 hours or $950 for 6 hours for 1–6 guests. Shark fishing begins at $700 for 1–6 guests. For complete group pricing, see our fishing charter pricing page. Full-day and extended offshore trips cost more.
Which North Myrtle Beach fishing charter is best for families?
For many families, younger children, and first-time anglers, an inshore fishing charter is a good place to start because fishing takes place in more protected waters with less offshore travel.
Nearshore and shark fishing can also work well for families who are comfortable in open water.
How many people can go on a fishing charter?
We offer private fishing charters for small groups as well as select trips for up to 15 guests per boat. Capacity depends on the assigned vessel and trip type. Multiple boats may also be coordinated for larger groups when available.
Are your fishing charters private?
Yes. Our fishing charters are private for your group. We do not combine your party with unrelated customers.
What is the difference between inshore and deep sea fishing?
Inshore fishing takes place in protected waters including creeks, marshes, inlets, backwaters, and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Deep sea fishing requires traveling farther into the Atlantic to reach deeper reefs, wrecks, ledges, live bottom, and offshore structure.
What is the difference between nearshore and offshore fishing?
Nearshore fishing focuses on coastal ocean waters and structure relatively close to shore. Offshore fishing travels beyond the nearshore grounds into deeper Atlantic water and generally requires more travel time.
How far offshore do your fishing charters go?
There is no single distance because it depends on charter type, target fishing area, weather, sea conditions, and trip length.
Inshore trips remain in protected coastal waterways. Nearshore trips fish coastal ocean water. Offshore and deep sea trips travel farther into the Atlantic, while Gulf Stream trips provide our greatest offshore range.
What types of fishing charters do you offer?
We offer private inshore, nearshore, shark, offshore, deep sea, and Gulf Stream fishing charters, along with fishing instruction and private eco, dolphin, and wildlife tours.
Do I need fishing experience?
No. First-time anglers and beginners are welcome. Our captains can explain the equipment and fishing techniques and help anglers participate at an appropriate level.
Do I need to bring fishing equipment?
No. Rods, reels, fishing line, tackle, and bait needed for the planned charter are provided.
When is the best time to fish in North Myrtle Beach?
Fishing is available throughout the year, but species and fishing styles change seasonally. Water temperature, tides, weather, bait movement, and fish migrations all influence the fishing.
Instead of choosing one universal “best” month, select a trip based on when you are visiting and the type of fishing experience your group wants.
How do I choose the right fishing charter?
Consider four things: who is fishing, how long you want to be on the water, how comfortable your group is traveling offshore, and what type of fishing experience you want.
If you are unsure, call or text 843-907-0064 and we can help you compare the options.
