Enjoy the low country waters of Charleston, Folly Beach, and Kiawah Island with Hawkins Fishing Charters. With over 30 years of fishing experience, Captain Hawkins and his crew offer unparalleled inshore and nearshore knowledge of the unique river systems of Folly Beach and surrounding areas.

While enjoying all that these rivers have to offer you will have the unique opportunity to catch fish ranging from Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, or Shark. Want to kick back and relax with your family? You can combine your fishing trip with dolphin watching, shark tooth adventures, and family cruises, touring the most special areas of the Charleston waters.

You’ll be fishing on a 22’ Sea Pro boat that accommodates up to 5 guests. This fabulous bay boat has been fully restored in 2021 and features a 150 HP Yamaha engine and a wireless trolling motor, navigational electronics, a live bait tank, and a cooler.

All trips are family friendly, so bring your youngest along. Captain Hawkins covers your fishing licenses and equipment, so you only need to prepare your food and drinks. It’s recommended to bring your sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen too.

Spend a day with Captain Hawkins Fishing Charters, relax, have fun, and catch the tastiest lunch on the way!
