Flying Fish Charters will take you on a fishing adventure you’ll never forget out of Little River. Join Captain Brad and get ready for some serious action. Whether you’re fishing for the first time or you already have several trophies under your belt, you’ll have a great time on Capt. Brad’s boat.

Hop aboard a 33’ Blackfin fishing boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. She’s powered by twin 440 HP Yanmar engines and reaches the maximum speed of 26 knots. Featuring a private toilet, an enclosed cabin, and various navigational and fishing gear, this boat has all you need for a successful day on the water.

The species you target depend on how far off the coast you go. Stay closer to the shore and you can go after Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, False Albacore, and Shark. You can also take a longer trip and go a few miles further, which brings Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Wahoo, Barracuda, and Amberjack.

After the trip, the catch is all yours to keep and the captain will clean it for you free of charge. The trip price also includes your fishing equipment and licenses. You only need to pack your sun protection, food, and drinks.

Join for a few hours or for the whole day. Flying Fish Charters SC is ready to take you on an adventure!

5 Hour Trip (PM)

Awesome Captain & Mate!

VERIFIED

I booked this trip at a surprise for my husband for Father’s Day. My family of 6 went out with Captain Brad and his mate Jess. My kids range from 1.5 to 15years old. We weren’t sure what to expect since this was our first time. About 45 min in my kids and I were all sea sick, my husband wasn’t but was anxious from the ride itself. We told his mate Jess that we were all feeling sick and thought it be best to turn around and head back. While the captain could have just turned around and went back, he didn’t do that. He turned around, slowed down for us and even made sure we still got fishing in, took us to see dolphins and got us our time in. Immediately when we first got on the boat him and Jess made us feel welcomed and comfortable. They chatted with the kids and my husband and I. Brad took my 15 year old son on top with him and my son said they had good conversations. Jess was amazing. She was so sweet to my daughters and was so easy to talk to. She even let the girls help her filet the fish we caught. I couldn’t recommend Captain Brad and Jess more!! We would definitely book with them again now that we know more of what to expect going out at first.

10 Hour Trip

Outstanding Day

VERIFIED

Just spent the day with Captain Brad and first mate Hunter on a 10 hour trip. We had 6 big guys on the boat and it was an amazing day. Not only did we catch a lot of fish, but the crew was extremely accommodating and supportive. Having a skilled captain with a powerful dual motor boat was 100% key to our success as we were the only boat that went the distance of 48 miles offshore! Plus, landing Wahoo, Tuna, Blacksea Bass, Trigger Fish, Snapper and more made the day just that much better! Thanks Captain for a truly memorable day on the water! Hopefully it was a birthday for you to remember…. We will absolutely see you again!

5 Hour Trip (PM)

Awesome Family Experience.

VERIFIED

I've booked a lot of family experiences and what I've found is that many offer the same kind of experience. What truly sets one apart from the others is the love they have for their job. The Captain and mate Hunter love what they do. Their personalities and willingness to be flexible to meet my families needs went above and beyond. We booked the 5 hour tour a little early in the season, but they adjusted and found spots for us to catch our fill. The boat was awesome and my wife enjoyed the fact that there was covering to get out of the sun if she wanted and a full bathroom. I will be booking here again. Thank you for the wonderful experience, well worth the cost!

Birthday fishing trip

VERIFIED

This trip was a birthday present for one in our group. There was a minor hiccup with the boat when we arrived but Captain Brad quickly fixed the issue and we were on our way. Captain Brad was extremely knowledgeable about where to find the fish and we had an amazing time. While we didn’t catch one of the fish we were targeting, we were able to get some very nice fish that put up some good fights. We also saw sea turtles, dolphins, and a hammerhead. I would highly recommend taking any of the trips he offers and when we are back at the beach, will be booking with him again.

10 Hour Trip

Great adventure

VERIFIED

Booked a 10 hours private trip. Captain Steve and 1st mate Jess were awesome. I'll stated that I've been fishing for over 40 years and had my own boat in Hawaii. I requested to only troll and I was hoping to catch Dolphin, Wahoo and/or Sailfish. I understood it wasn't peak season and still wanted to target those species. As soon as we got on the fishing grounds, we hooked it. It was a barracuda, not what I was looking for but it was a nice catch. Shortly after Jess set lines back out, we hooked up again to another barracuda. For the remainder of the day Captain Steve kept us on the hunt but no luck. Jess was awesome, kept checking the lines and lures and making adjustments when necessary. Even though I didn't catch the target species I was hoping to, I enjoyed my time on the ocean and would booked again. Highly recommend!!!!
