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 25' Sea Pro center console and together, you'll head out to find the best bite. The boat is outfitted with a 300 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.

    Luke was fabulous

    Shark Fishing (PM) on July 22, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    My three kids and I had a wonderful evening with Luke as our Captain. He was very knowledgeable, patient with us as we were inexperienced, and all three kids (ages 16, 14, 6) had a great time. His boat was well equipped with fishing supplies and drinks. He answered all our questions and we even caught a shark! He was prompt to respond to messages and all interaction went well. Highly recommend Luke!!

    Shark Fishing Fun!

    Shark Fishing Sunrise Trip on June 11, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Luke was an awesome captain for our shark fishing adventure! Our boys, ages 12 and 14, wanted to catch a shark. Luke knew exactly where to cast out at and we immediately started catching them. He was very nice and he knew the water well. If we are ever back in Charleston, we will definitely book another fishing trip with Luke. Thank you so much Luke!

    Great Experience!

    Shark Fishing (AM) on August 3, 2024 • 4 adults

    Had a great time shark fishing. Captain Lucas communicated well before the trip and was a great guide for the morning trip. Our family caught some sharks, saw several pods of dolphins and learned a bit about the area. Overall and memorable experience and would highly recommend Captain Lucas to others.

    2 hr shark trip

    Shark Fishing (PM) on May 29, 2024 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great trip. We had a shark on the line within the first five minutes and caught around 8 total in just a couple hours. Capt Pressler was a knowledgeable and personable guy. We also got an up close view of a sail boat race which was a nice added bonus! I would recommend this trip to anyone.

    Half Day with a Little Extra

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 21, 2022 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Capt Luke was great with our group of five including one tween. As soon as we booked he was communicating with me and checked in with me leading up to our trip. He was flexible and helpful both as we had to adjust times and in taking part of our group back out after others departed for the airport (thankfully the schedule allowed for both). He had the fishing spots well identified and we were catching most of the time. He was FANTASTIC with our tween in helping him and teaching him at the same time. Capt Luke brought live and frozen bait and we netted some bait fish as well. Rods were quickly rebaited and recast. Upon our return we made it to the dock just as a rain storm came in, Capt Luke gave us shelter in his truck while we waited for our Uber (which Charleston generally has a shortage of). Would definitely recommend and would book again. Great time in the water, Capt Luke was friendly, instructive, communicative and helpful. I would also be remiss if I didn’t say he was incredibly polite, my son may get booked in Capt Luke manners boot camp!! Recommend and would book again 😀🦈🐡⚓️

    Awesome experience!

    Harbor Tour / Shark Tooth Excursion on June 16, 2024 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Luke was extremely accommodating to first time anglers. My kids had an absolute blast. I would recommend him to anyone looking to fish the Charleston area. The kids caught multiple sharks and were able to get photos with them, listening to music and hanging out.

    Great fishing experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 1, 2024 • 4 adults

    We had a great day on the water! The fish weren’t biting in the morning but we ended up catching a lot of sharks!! We went by the shrimp boats and it was really cool, as well as seeing a bunch of dolphins. Captain Luke was awesome!

    2 hour fishing trip with Luke

    Shark Fishing (PM) on June 17, 2022 • 2 adults

    We had a great time shark fishing. It was interesting to go out and watch Luke catch our bait fish and then took us out to the channel to catch sharks. The largest shark we caught probably weighed close to 60 lbs! Captain Luke knows the area and knows where to get the biggest fish! I highly recommend this trip but be forewarned, after reeling in sharks for 2 hours it can be exhausting, but fun. I highly recommend this trip for any angler! The pick up spot was a bit confusing and it is a long walk to the dock.

    A fun trip

    Shark Fishing (PM) on June 20, 2024 • 4 adults

    We were out on some sharks right away. Not everyone caught one but that was likely due to so much time spent trying to get a picture of the bigger one. The captain is personable and patient.

Great captain
2 Hour Evening Trip on October 16, 2024 • 2 adults

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!

Thank you, Toby!
