Keen Eye Charters welcomes you to Seabrook Island, South Carolina. Embark on an enjoyable inshore, nearshore, or offshore fishing charter or a custom tour of your choice. The subtropical climate offers certain fish species year-round, but there are also many seasonal species that visit the waters depending on the season. Captain Chris Keen will advise you on what to target in accordance with the time of year, weather, and tides. Come catch some fish, have some laughs, and enjoy all that the Low Country has to offer on the water.

Inshore/Nearshore, you'll be fishing from a 24' Pathfinder bay boat. If you're looking to keep fish, we highly recommend booking an offshore charter! We practice catch and release on all inshore game fish. The navigation technology it uses is comprised of modern GPS and a fishfinder, so you'll have no trouble locating the fish. There is also a livewell to supply you with live bait. Common species include sharks, redfish, sea trout, flounder, and more. Some species are seasonal. Two-hour charters are perfect for younger children. We can do some easy kid fishing, shark fishing, crab fishing plus you will see plenty of dolphins. If you select the late trip, you get the added bonus of our beautiful sunsets.

Captain Chris will take care of all the fishing gear and licenses, so you should just bring your favorite food and drinks.

We get a lot of questions regarding the number of people we are allowed to take on the boat. Per the US Coast Guard regulation, we are licensed to take up to 6 people (captain not included). For an optimal experience, we highly
Recommend groups of 4 anglers or fewer.

Come aboard and have a great experience on the water with Keen Eye Charters!

Excellent Father-Son Fishing Trip
Nearshore Fishing 4 Hour (AM) on May 14, 20262 adults

Chris with Keen Eye Charters was outstanding. My dad and I booked a half-day inshore trip while in Kiawah, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our weekend together. Chris was professional, easygoing, knowledgeable, and worked hard the entire trip to put us on fish. What stood out most was how enjoyable he made the experience. Great conversation, zero pressure, and he clearly knows these waters extremely well. Whether you're experienced or just looking for a fun day on the water, I highly recommend Keen Eye Charters. We'll absolutely book with him again.

Very knowledgeable and good with kids!
Inshore Fishing (3hr ) on March 31, 20261 adult1 child

Captain Chris did a great job. He explained everything well, was very knowledgeable about the area, and knew where to go to catch fish. He had a good assortment of baits and tackle. He made sure my 7 year old daughter caught fish and was having a good time. We fished for an hour or more, went off and got to see dolphins, and then headed back and finished up fishing. It was an awesome experience and will definitely book again in the future. The app was worked great - He's very fast to reply. Very good equipment - both boat and tackle.

Great day - Great Captain - Fun!
Inshore Fishing (3hr ) - 1:00 PM on March 30, 20262 adults

Captain Chris is such a nice man, he was informative and knowledgeable. Taking off from his dock he told us all about the local dolphins and we had a great little natual show. He tooks us to several places afterwards and we so enjoyed his easy instruction and great fishing locations. We caught some really interesting fish and he was so sweet amd knowledgeable/ informative about everything. Definitely a great captain that is so cordial and lets you lead how much conversation you’d like to have.

Best Kiawah Charter
Nearshore Fishing 4 Hour (AM) on June 5, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Keen has been chartering for 25 years and it’s clear that he loves what he does. He is knowledgeable about the area and got us some fish quickly. We brought two eight-year-olds with us. He explained things easily and had lots of patience with them. I will continue to charter with him every time we come down! I would highly recommend that you ask his opinion on what to fish and trust his judgment
