Richards’ Fishing Charters is located in North Charleston and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Jonathan will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Grouper, Seabass, Snapper, Amberjack, Redfish, and Sheepshead, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, drift fishing, and jigging.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 23’ Key West boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a wireless trolling motor.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Ever since he was a toddler, Capt. Jonathan has been fishing in the Charleston area with his dad. At around 14 years old, the captain decided that becoming a professional charter captain was his main goal, and 10 years later, through hard work and dedication, he made that wish come true. Now he's living his dream and can't wait to share his passion and energy with his guests everyday!
