Short Skirts Sportfishing Charters

Short Skirts Sportfishing Charters is a father-son business that runs fishing trips out of Charleston SC and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Come on aboard with Capt. Hayden or Capt. Chris, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and big game fishing based on the species you’re targeting.

Speaking of which, you have the option of 4, 6, 8 and 12-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Sea Bass, Sharks, Trout, King Mackerel, Dolphin, Wahoo, Snapper, Sailfish, and Grouper, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your boat for the day will be a 33 ’ Salt Shaker with twin Yamaha 300hp engines that fits up to 6 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with a cabin with a private toilet. One of Charleston’s fastest charter boats. Inshore trips 15-30 mins to fishing grounds or less than 2 hrs to Offshore fishing grounds versus most Charter boats 3 hrs.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain, so you don’t have to worry about it.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Hayden runs trips together with a first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. 20% gratuity of the price of the trip is customary.
