Salty Seas Charters
Salty Seas Charters
Join Salty Seas Charters and have a great day exploring and fishing the waters of St. Helena Island, South Carolina. Captain Mike Rentz will take you inshore and nearshore and help you land a great catch and have the best experience on the water possible. Join him and create many fond memories fishing the beautiful and rich waters of Salty Seas Charters!
You'll use a restored 22' Pathfinder bay boat that's powered by a 225 HP Yamaha engine and that can take up to 6 guests. The boat uses GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology for effective navigation, a wireless trolling motor for easier fishing, and has also got a livewell to supply you with live bait.
Fishing inshore and nearshore, you'll have the chance to target Tarpon, King Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Cobia, and Redfish. Using light and heavy tackle, you'll attract them by bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as fly fishing. You can bring your kids aboard and you can keep the fish you catch.
Captain Mike will provide you with both regular and fly fishing equipment, live bait, lures, drinks, fishing licenses, and will even clean and fillet your catch at no extra cost. That being said, the only thing you should bring on your trip is the food of your choice.

Tony FoxRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip
Half Day Trip on August 4, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWe had an outstanding day on the water with Captain Mike! He was extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the fish. Throughout the trip, we caught around 20 fish, including redfish, speckled trout, and triggerfish, which made for an exciting and memorable experience. What impressed us even more was how patient and encouraging Captain Mike was with my 9-year-old daughter. He took the time to help her, made sure she felt included, and helped make the trip enjoyable for everyone. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly captain who works hard to put you on fish while creating a great experience for the whole family, I highly recommend Captain Mike. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with him!
Kevin Deo5.0VerifiedNewBest trip ever

Jestin KornsRepeat angler4.7VerifiedGreat trip for inshore fishing. Captain Mike is great.
Full Day Inshore on August 6, 2026 • 6 adultswe had a great time in shore fishing. Captain Mike did great getting us on fish. There were multiple species and we even were able to attack the elusive tarpon. With multiple showing up to check us out. I would highly recommend salty seas. Mike’s the best.

Half Day Trip on June 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childAfter not catching anything for the first 3 and a half hours of our 4 hour trip the captain found a spot that we started to catch some fish. Rather then cut us off at 4 hours he let is catch enough to feed our group that was gishing and 6 more that weren’t.
Andy RobbinsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedLooking to repeat trip
Half Day Trip on May 8, 2026 • 3 adultsEven though my son showed me up, we had a lot of fun. Capt. Mike moved to a couple of spots that put us on the reds and trout. Looking to do this again.

Had a great Tony! Hope to see yall again soon!!
Captain Mike was the best charter captain we’ve ever worked with. Not only was he knowledgeable about putting us on fish, he was welcoming and made our day truly enjoyable. He educated us about the waters and area of Beaufort. At the end of our trip he cleaned our fish and we had a delicious fish dinner that night. We would HIGHLY recommend a trip with Captain Mike.
Had a blast!! Hope to see yall soon!
We had enjoyed our tripped, but we hoped we could keep more than 4 fishes. The trip overall was wonderful and Mike was a wonderful Captain.
We went on a four hour charter with Captain Mike in June. The fishing was okay at best. We fished for red drum with mud minnows. We caught about 4 drum and a stingray. Mike was very knowledgeable and shared lots of fishing tips with us. He was attentive to our rods and helped us learn how to saltwater fish. He moved our day and time to try and get us the best fishing window possible for this time of year. We will book again. Thanks Mike
