Southern Charm Charters

Fish the beautiful waters of Charlotte harbor and enjoy the local wildlife! Southern Charm Charters is here to show you the variety of fish species you can find in the area and, more importantly, how to catch them. Captain Steven has been in the business long enough to know all of the tricks you won’t find in any tutorial. Learn from an experienced guide and fill out your bucket with tastiest fish meat.

The journey starts on a 24’ Twin vee catamaran that accommodates up to 4 anglers. The boat is powered by 140 HP Suzuki engines and features safety gear and navigational electronics. There’s lots of dry storage where you can keep your belongings safe, so bring whatever you need. Enjoy a short ride to your fishing spot and start reeling as soon as you feel the bite.

Listing all fish species you can catch on this trip is an endless task, so we’ll stick to the most popular ones, such as Redfish, Tarpon, Snook, Sheepshead, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, and a variety of Sharks. You get to keep the catch and the captain will clean it after the trip free of charge.

Another thing that’s also included in the price is your fishing equipment. You don’t have to rent it or bring your own. As the license is covered as well, you only need to bring your snacks, drinks, and sun protection.

Relax, have fun, learn something new, and enjoy nature. Southern Charm Charters is at your service year round.

Started fishing when I was very young. I was born with a serious disability that stopped me from playing other sports, I discovered fishing and the rest is history.
