Not Just A Normal Fishing Trip!!!!
Half Day Charters Special on July 3, 20265 adults

We had an incredible day out on the water, and what stood out to me most wasn’t just the fishing—it was the teamwork. I’ve never seen charter boats operate the way this group did. Several boats worked together like a true brotherhood, communicating and coordinating to make sure every boat had a chance to get on fish. It wasn’t a one‑man operation; it was a community effort, and it made all the difference. Our captain, Kyle, was fantastic. He was not only running the boat but also actively training his first mate, Jackson. I was genuinely impressed by Kyle’s patience and the way he took the time to teach Jackson the ropes. In many places, the captain just drives, but Kyle was everywhere—coaching, managing lines, and setting an example of what hard work and good leadership look like. I don’t know what Jackson will choose to do in the years ahead, but the values he’s learning from Kyle are going to serve him well. As for the day itself, my husband, my grandson, and his two friends all caught fish, laughed, and made memories we’ll be talking about for years. It was fun, relaxed, and completely worth it. All in all, it was a great day on the water, and I’d highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for both a good time and a crew that truly works together.

Response from Charter operator

thank you so much that’s probably one of the nicest reviews anymore. I’ve ever left us. We are one big family and one big team and we try to help each other and work together so that everybody gets the best experience not just a couple boats here and there so I really appreciate that. Also thank you so much for going out with us. We’re looking forward to seeing you guys on the order next time. I hope you enjoy your holiday week.

Half Day Charters Special - 12:30 PM on July 22, 20263 adults3 children

Captain Jason took my husband, our two boys, my brother, my brother-in-law, and my nephew out for a 4 hour afternoon charter. They fought low bites due to storms that morning, but Captain Jason moved them around to snag 2 flounder and one stingray. He fileted up the one keeping flounder when they go back, and was very patient with the kids the entire time. Definitely recommend him to take your group out!

Super Cold, No Keepers, Still had fun!
Half Day Charters Special on March 24, 20263 adults

The weather was not ideal but Capt. Hayden did his best. We went to 3 different spots trying to catch some fish, but the keepers were not biting. We caught 11 sharks and 1 black drum (too small). In discussion, we cut our 4 hr trip to 3 hours due to the wind/cold and minimal bites. Company was fantastic and refunded that hour not used. Even though we didn’t take anything home and were freezing, we all had fun and our 13 year old (who loves to fish), really liked our Capt! This was our first trip to Myrtle Beach, and if back, would not hesitate to book with them again!

Reported catch:
Black Drum

This is your best bet
Half Day Charters Special on March 17, 20262 adults

I have fished with a bunch of chrter captains and companies, here is what you get here. A top notch captain that knows the waters, will work his A$$ Off to keep you on fish, knows what works, and does not work. A beautiful reliable clean biat and gear with all modern equipment. I have been out twice with Captain Quint. he is a joy to fish with and is so utterly talented you will be in awe. Thanks for another great trip Captain and see you next year! In a 4 hour afternoon trip we pulled around 35 fish over the rail! Thats just flat impressive in my book.

Jason Burton
Response from Charter operator

thank you so much. That was such a nice review. Can’t even start to tell you how much I enjoy having you guys on the boat and we do the best we can. It’s so nice when the conditions lineup and the fish cooperate when we get to have an epic day. Already looking forward to the next time we could take you guys out on the water.

Great Captain! Fishing Scarce.....
Half Day Charters Special - 12:30 PM on June 24, 20263 adults

Capt. Nick worked his tail off for us.... We all caught something, several flounder (and an eel), but no keepers. It was still an enjoyable trip, he's very personable and worked with other Captains searching for spots. Listening to the radio everyone was struggling. He warned us beforehand what it might be like. None of us had ever fished for flounder before and there is an art to it. So we didn't help much, no telling how many we missed by not setting the hook. Would definitely recommend!

Reported catch:
Flounder
