Explore one of the best South Carolina inshore fisheries with Charleston Saltwater Fishing Charters! Team up with Captain Luke Pressler and he’ll make it possible for you to get to the best fishing action in the area. Capt. Luke has fished the local waters ever since he was a kid, and now he wants to share this experience with his customers.

Join him on his 24’ Pathfinder center console and together, you’ll head out to find the best bite. The boat is outfitted with a 250 HP Yamaha engine and has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers to fish at the same time. The onboard navigational electronics will show you where the fish hide, and if you need to be extra quiet, there’s a wireless trolling motor that will make it happen.

Capt. Luke will provide quality Shimano and Penn fishing equipment for you to use, and he also has specialized Trout gear, in case that’s your species of choice. An assortment of lures and live bait will also wait for you on the boat. Your guide will even clean your catch if you decide to keep a few fish and make a delicious meal at home.

There are plenty of species to choose from, and the captain will gladly customize the trip to your fishing preferences. Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Sharks, and Black Drum are all on the to-catch list. If you prefer trolling, then you can target Spanish and King Mackerel.

So what do you need for your fishing expedition? Stocking up on refreshments and sunscreen is a good idea. Capt. Luke has a saltwater fishing license that covers all guests, so you don’t need to worry about purchasing one beforehand. If you’re coming with kids, Capt. Luke will have life jackets for the whole family.

2 Hour Evening Trip

Great captain

VERIFIED

Luke was fantastic - we had to change the location where to meet, but he nevertheless was there before time. Fishing wasn't easy what I very much like (otherwise I could just go to any fishing pond). Lot's of explanations by Luke, great sunset and a full moon evening - almost cinematic... Next time we'll take a longer tour!

We had a great time out on the river catching redfish and trout with Captain Luke. His boat and tackle were top notch and he’s a good dude. Highly recommend.
