Captain Nick Brown and North Island Fishing Charters Crew welcome you for a sea adventure out of Georgetown, South Carolina. Captain Nick and crew does fishing trips to inshore and nearshore grounds showing you South Carolina's beautiful waters full of many different fish to catch. Book your trip today and join the captains on the water to make some memories for you and your family!

You'll start your journey on a 23' Sportsman bay boat that runs on a 250 HP Yamaha engine and sits up to 6 anglers. The boat uses all the modern GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology that allows for efficient and safe movement on the water. There's also a wireless trolling motor for a more cautious approach to your targets, as well as a livewell to provide you with live bait.

You and the captains will be chasing species such as Tarpon, Flounder, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Cobia, and more. To catch them, you can use light and heavy tackle bottom fishing and Flounder gigging. Depending on the species, you're allowed to keep the fish you catch and take it home. Kids are welcome to come aboard, so feel free to bring your whole family and have a wonderful time on the water together.

Captain Nick Brown and crew will take care of all the fishing equipment you'll need as well as fishing licenses. Bring the food and drinks of your choice and you'll be set to go.

    Awesome Capt. and we completed the inshore slam and some!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    Great experience with Capt Nate!! we did the 4 hr 7am-11 inshore chater. He's 22ft Bullsbay bay boat was well equipped and very comfortable. All the gear and tackle was ready for any kind of fishing. We caught tons of spottail bass, speckled sea trout, flounder, black drum, pinfish, ladyfish, blue runner, and croaker. I would highly recommend booking a charter with them.

    great short sunset trip

    2 Hour Trip – Sunset Fishing on July 30, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    we (myself and grand son) took fishing trip with captain Nate at sunset. Nate is knowledgeable captain and has well equipt and well maintain boat. And, we did catch fish. Unfortunately catch was way above state limits and had to let it go. Bottom line - we will be happy to shedule fishing tour with this charter/captain as soon we are back in the area

What sets Captain Nick apart is not just his skill but also his ability to engage and entertain everyone on board. He was patient, informative, and fun, making sure our teenagers were involved and learning throughout the trip. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear that he genuinely loves what he does. The boat was well-equipped and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a successful fishing adventure.

    The BEST Charter

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 22, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    What a great day! We’ve charter a dozen or more fishing trips through the years, and this was the best we’ve ever had in the Carolinas. Cpt Nick was knowledgeable, prepared, and THE BEST with our two young boys (7&11). He taught me some techniques I didn’t know, and he helped our boys get some really big (8 lb) flounder and REALLY massive red drums. He has a super nice boat that is really well taken care of. Nick was kind, courteous, genuine, and just legitimately GOOD. You won’t be disappointed. Book now! We saved his info for future trips and will be back soon! thanks, Captain!

    Awesome experience

    3/4 Day Trip on July 11, 2025 • 3 adults

    I have fished with numerous guides in South Carolina and could not recommend a better guide than Nick. We landed 7 red fish over 35in. and hooked into a tarpon, which was a fight of a lifetime. He has top of the line rods and reels for whatever you’re looking to fish for, and knows the right areas to go go to. We had such a great experience we have already booked with him for next year.

    Best Fishing Experience!!!!

    2 Hour Trip – Sunset Fishing on June 22, 2024 • 2 adults

    My fiance and I signed up for a fishing charter trip (our first one ever) and we did the sunset 2 hr trip thinking 4 or 5 hrs would be too long but after our experience with Nick we could go all day. It was so much fun. Nick kept the trip lively with his very engaged conversations and uplifting personality. We caught three large fish and a shark which left us with so many stories to share with our family and friends. We will definitely go again and would recommend the trip to anyone considering it.

    Half Day Trip (PM) on September 19, 2025 • 6 adults

    Nick was knowledgeable and experienced! Had the knowledge and gear to get us on redfish at our first stop. Was a blast! Highly recommend and will use Nick again. Perfect addition for your annual golf trip to the area. Rollin Local and River Room are nearby restaurants you should try as well!!

    Full day trip with Captain NIck

    Full Day Nearshore Trip on June 28, 2023 • 5 adults

    Started the day with a beautiful sun rise. A quick trip to the jetties to get bait and then offshore we went. Two fish caught within the first 10 minutes, including the Grouper shown in the picture above. We caught fish all day. There were six of us, father/son combos, and we had a blast. By days end we were all exhausted from pulling on these fish! We smoked the Grouper, Cobia, and Spade fish. WoW! Nothing better than fresh seafood right off the grill. Captain Nick is a mild mannered adventurer who worked non-stop to keep us on fish. And he did. His knowledge and experience make him a top-quality fishing guide. I would recommend him to anyone! thanks for making this a lifetime memory for my friends and family! John Book
