Inshore And Deep Sea Fishing Charters In Myrtle Beach, South Carolinas
If you want a private trip that fits almost any group, start with inshore or deep sea. Inshore trips are usually calmer and perfect for families and beginners. Deep sea trips are built for bigger water, longer runs, and heavier fish—ideal when your group wants a true offshore adventure.
Inshore fishing along the South Carolina / North Carolina coast targets species like redfish (red drum), flounder, black drum, sheepshead, speckled sea trout, and more. It’s a great choice when you want action, variety, and flexibility—especially on a half-day schedule.
Deep sea fishing opens the door to king mackerel, grouper, snapper, triggerfish, black sea bass, amberjack, mahi-mahi, and (seasonally) bigger gamefish when conditions line up. If your goal is “go bigger and go farther,” offshore/deep sea is the lane.
No matter which direction you go, you’ll be on a private charter with experienced captains, quality tackle, and a plan that matches current conditions. Tell us what matters most—more bites, bigger fish, kid-friendly, or a bucket-list trip—and we’ll point you to the best option.
We run private fishing charters out of the North Myrtle Beach / Little River area and serve Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove, and the Grand Strand, South Carolina. Calabash, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina
Half-Day vs Full-Day Fishing Charters
Half-day trips are great when you want maximum convenience. Full-day trips are best when you want more range, more time on the bite, and more opportunity to adjust if the fish move.

Deep Sea Fishing Charters
Deep sea fishing is the choice when your group wants bigger water, longer runs, and the chance at heavier fish. Our private deep sea trips are popular for anglers who want a true offshore experience—with the comfort of a crew that handles the setup, the gear, and the game plan.
What to expect: more travel time, more time over structure, and more opportunity for bottom fishing and pelagic action depending on conditions and season. If deep sea is what you came for, start here:

Shark Fishing Charters
Shark fishing is a high-energy trip that’s great for anglers who want something different. We offer 4-hour (half-day) and 6-hour (3/4 day) shark trips depending on your goals and the time you want on the water.
We target shark species based on what’s in the area and what’s safe and appropriate for your group. If shark fishing is on your list, start here:
→ Shark Fishing Charters
Nearshore Fishing Charters
Nearshore is a great “best of both worlds” option: you’re in the ocean, usually still within sight of land, and you can target a mix of species that changes by season. It’s often ideal for families who want ocean fishing without committing to a full offshore run.
Nearshore trips are commonly run as 4-hour half-day options, with the advantage of quick access to productive water. Start here:
→ Nearshore Fishing Charters
Offshore Fishing Charters
Offshore trips are built for anglers who want a full-day (often 8 hours) on the Atlantic with more range and more options. This is where you fish deeper structure and expand your target list.
If you’re deciding between offshore and deep sea, offshore is often the best “full-day” starting point. Start here:
→ Offshore Fishing Charters
Gulf Stream Fishing Charters
Gulf Stream trips are the bucket-list option—longer days (often 12–14 hours) and deep blue water. These trips are for anglers who want the full experience and the best shot at true big-water species when conditions line up.
Join Us for an Unforgettable Fishing Adventure in Myrtle Beach!
A private charter boat makes the day easier: you don’t have to navigate, bring gear, or figure out where to go. Your captain handles the plan, the positioning, and the safety checks—so your group can focus on fishing and having fun.
Our fleet includes inshore bay boats and offshore-capable boats, so we can match your trip to your group size and goals. If you’re booking for a family, we’ll keep it simple and comfortable. If you’re booking to chase bigger fish, we’ll recommend the trip length and water that gives you the best odds.
Myrtle Beach offers productive fishing year-round, and the “best” season depends on what you want to catch.
Winter (Jan–Mar): redfish in the flats, black drum in tidal creeks, and offshore opportunities when weather windows open.
Spring (Apr–Jun): cobia show nearshore, Spanish mackerel school around inlets, and trout/flounder action improves.
Summer (Jul–Aug): great for shark trips, plus inshore trout/flounder opportunities and family-friendly weather patterns.
Fall (Sep–Nov): strong nearshore and inshore action; bull redfish can show near jetties; king mackerel opportunities improve nearshore/offshore.
If you want the best match for your dates, call and we’ll recommend the trip that fits your group and the season.

Drifting and anchoring over productive structure

Trolling when the goal is covering water and targeting pelagic species
