Southern Breeze Charters aims to be Charleston's best choice for inshore and nearshore fishing. Suitable for both veteran anglers and those who have had precious little experience holding a rod, Captain Nicholas Winch will do his best to provide you with a trip tailored to your needs.

Get ready for drag screaming action aboard his top of the line brand new 24' Yellowfin bay boat. Being powered by a single 350 HP Mercury Verado engine, it'll get you to where the fish are biting in a snap. There's plenty of room here for up to 6 guests, making it perfect for family fishing trips. It's also got a wireless trolling motor that's indispensable for sneaking up on easy to spook fish.

There's a number of different things you can do on these waters at any given time, so feel free to pick what best suits your style. Inshore trips are mostly aimed at jetty fishing, and more experienced anglers can do trips that include fly fishing, creek fishing, and sight casting. In the nearshore waters, though, reefs and wrecks are the name of the game. The most prominent species you'll find around here include Redfish, Black Seabass, Amberjack, Cobia, Sharks, Tarpon (when in season), and more besides.

Captain Nicholas will provide you with all the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle for the trip. There's also plenty of bottled water on board, but you're more than welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. Going from Shem Creek Park or the Downtown marina? He'll be happy to pick you up. If you want bent rods and sore arms at the end of the day, give Southern Breeze Charters a shout.

Hard Fighthing Big Redfish
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 10, 2026 • 4 adults

We had an absolutely incredible time on the water with Captain Nicholas Winch! Fishing out of the Isle of Palms Marina, he expertly navigated the Charleston waters and got us on the fish right away. Everyone in our group managed to reel in some massive bull Redfish. What really stood out was how nice, patient, and hands-on the Captain was. He took the time to help everyone—from the experienced anglers to the beginners—and made sure everyone on the trip had a blast fighting these big fish.If you're looking for a top-notch, family-friendly charter that guarantees a great time and memorable catches, I highly recommend booking with Captain Nicholas!

4 Hour Trip - Inshore (PM) on May 23, 2026 • 2 adults

Nick W. was very knowledgeable and put us on fish immediately. He worked with us in baiting hooks, casting, and even assisting in the initial catch process of fish. He was patient with our novice fishers as well as operated his boat with percission and safety! 5 Stars completely and would recommend over and over again.

Growing up in Charleston, Captain Nicholas Winch was lucky enough to be able to fish these beautiful waters just about every day. Having fished since he could walk, there was never any doubt about the importance of fishing in his life. His favorite thing about fishing is the sheer excitement of reeling in the big fish that's almost palpable.

    Today was a day we will NEVER forget! We went shark fishing and caught sharks as tall as me! (5 foot+) We haven't stopped talking about it. I will 100% do this again, Captain Nick was an expert and he was the best person to take us on this adventure. In 3 hours we caught the fish for bait, and used them as the bait for the sharks and caught 5 sharks total. What an amazing adventure, absolutely worth every penny, memories for a lifetime. Thank you Captain Nick, you were awesome!

    Nick was very attentive to our group of differing levels of experience—we never needed to ask for anything. He was intuitive and kept the day challenging and interesting. Caught over twenty good sized fish ranging from trout, to red drum and flounder. Definitely will rebook with this captain.

    Captain knew every spot where the fish would bite. It seemed like every other cast, there was a fish on the hook within 15 seconds. Would charter again!

    The spring redfish bite has been very good and consistent. Quality sized fish with plenty of sightfishing opportunities.
