Ryan Hoose5.0VerifiedCapt Brian is the man!!
Half Day Trip on August 20, 2026 • 2 adultsMy son and I had a great trip with Capt Brian. He put us on fish almost immediately and kept us on them the whole time. I honestly lost count of how many fish we caught. Redfish, tons of seabass, weakfish, stingrays. Highlight was a 35” bull red that my son caught- he can’t stop talking about it and will definitely remember that one for a while. Thanks Capt Brian!
James Langelotti5.0VerifiedThis Captain knows where they're hiding!
3/4 Day Trip on July 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWonderful day on the water. First stop was a Sea Bass hit every 10 minutes. One was a good keeper. Next spot was a Hammerhead catch/release, some Croaker, and Spanish Mackerel. Then we moved again and caught a nice Red Drum. Captain Brian and his 1st Mate were knowledgeable, super friendly, and all-around awesome. Highly recommend Heritage Fishing Charters!

James Clark5.0VerifiedGreat Charleston Fishing trip
Half Day Trip on September 20, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Brian was First Class. He was ahead of scheduled, friendly and super prepared. From the first cast, he had us on the fish and was incredibly helpful and informative of the local history. He did an outstanding job of cleaning and packaging the fish with great recommendations on preparation.
Tara Ruer5.0VerifiedBest fishing trip ever!

M. Shane Ryan5.0VerifiedBest day ever!
Early start Half day trip on August 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenOur 1st time fishing out of Charleston Harbor was fantastic! Captain Brian of Heritage Charters knows his waters well…We must’ve caught 15 species of fish between us. He’s also great with excited boys! Thank You for an awesome generational memory-maker!

Great Captain and mate ! Top notch ! Brian put us on a big shark and some great redfish!
Half Day Trip on July 10, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenBrian is a great captain! Great boat & gear! we caught shark, redfish and a several other species. The captain and mate were both top notch. They are the reason a couple 14 year old boys caught a few firsts!!! Highly recommend!
Martine Friedman5.0VerifiedFabulous Captain, Caught 31" Redrum
Half Day Trip on June 7, 2026 • 4 adultsI chartered this fishing boat for my son's 24th birthday. Brian really went all out to make sure we had a great experience, and my son caught a personal record-size fish. Couldn't have had a better day overall ! Thanks, Brian.
Mitch Sump5.0VerifiedFirst Charter!
Half Day Trip on April 29, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Brian was great! My wife and I are Midwest pond, lake, and river fishers. Captain Brian was patient, knowledgeable and, most important, fun. We caught five species: Red Drum, Bluefish, Whiting, Weak Sea Trout, and Bonnethead Sharks. The latter was pretty exciting for us - we grew up chasing bluegills! If our travels return us to Charleston, another charter will be on the agenda.
Ian Ray5.0VerifiedGreat captain and a great trip!
Half Day Trip on March 25, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain was very knowledgeable and just a good dud in general, if youre looking for a charter trip to go on I recommend this one to anyone. If im ever in Charleston again i would book him. The orginal day we had plan he called and rescheduled due to the wind and weather conditions, which makes me see he is just doing it for th love of the sport
