Four Sons Charters – 45’ w/ toilet

Four Sons Charters is located in Charleston and offers to show you a memorable time inshore fishing and offshore fishing. 

If you want to go inshore fishing on the largest and most comfortable inshore fishing boats in Charleston then book this one. This boat can fish inshore between June 1- October. We will be targeting fish like bull redfish, sheapshead, black drum and sharks in the deeper water of the harbor. It is by far the largest inshore fishing boat in the Charleston Harbor and one of the only inshore fishing boats with a private bathroom.

On the offshore side of things this boat does it all. This involves 6 to 10 hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin, Wahoo, Tuna, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, Snapper, Grouper, King Mackerel, and Cobia depending on the season and the time of year. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, jigging, kite fishing, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 45’ Sea Hunter boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a private bathroom and an ice-box.

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.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Four Sons Charters.
