Reva Navarro5.0VerifiedAmazing Day on the Water
Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on June 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childWe are visiting from NY and decided to book a fishing trip last minute. Brent advised us that the odds were against us with high tide, high winds and warm water. He was so patient with the kids and persistent with trying different locations. We had a great time and ended up catching a variety of fish. We caught Red Drum, Stingray, Toad fish, Croaker, and even a crab!

Joe BricioRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome morning in Charleston
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on April 5, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a great morning fishing charter in early April in Charleston, South Carolina with Brent Welch. Brent was knowledgeable, professional, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The weather was beautiful, the fishing was fun, and he knew exactly where to go to keep us on fish. Highly recommend Brent if you’re looking for a relaxed and well-run charter in the Charleston area.
Matt Burgardt5.0VerifiedBest Charter Ever!
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 26, 2026 • 2 adultsWe have been on several charters throughout our travels and this was definitely the best. Captain Brent kept us on the fish and demonstrated his seasoned knowledge many times. Felt like we were fishing with a friend and not on a charter. Captain Brent kept hooks baited and coached us along as needed with great tips and tricks for landing 20+ fish!
