This was our first trip to Charleston, SC we wanted to try a fishing trip in our short visit. We weren’t sure what to expect as it was February and the temperatures were colder then usual. Captain Steve was great! Very informative about the area and the fishing. We tried several spots but due to the weather and conditions we were not successful on carching. The views and ride in the boat were wonderful. we got to see dolphins, pelcans, bald eagl and other birds. When we come to SC afain we will for sure book with Sunshine Chartes. Thank you for the adveture!!

Had a group of 10 guys and the captain was able to take all of us on two boats. Caught some fish and had a great time. Captin was very professional and helpful with anything we needed. Will definitely be booking with him again.
Me and my groomsmen booked this charter for my bachelorette trip trusting the previous reviews, and they were all spot on. Stephen knows his stuff. He taught the novice fishermen how to fish and everyone caught on really quick. It took a while for the fish to start biting, but when they did, they were putting up a fight. I strongly recommend booking Stephen from Sunshine Charters of Charleston!
we had a good day trying to catch fish, but the fish didn’t cooperate! the water in the harbor was too rough, so Captain Stephen took us on the creeks and rivers to try to entice the fish. He tried multiple stops and even helped us try longer than our trip time because he REALLY wanted us to be successful! We appreciate his efforts and friendliness!
Can’t say enough about this trip. Captain Steve was on it. He asked what we wanted to catch and boy did he deliver. A sand shark, lemon sharks, a hammerhead shark, and a bull shark among the bunch. Everyone caught something. Steve was extremely helpful and made it a perfect day for us. Great 4-hour trip. Great capitan. Great boat. Five-star all the way. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Our fishing experience with Captain Stephen was exceptional. It was a gorgeous day on a beautiful, well-kept boat, and Stephen was attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He constantly adjusted our location to make sure we were right where the fish were biting. We caught red fish, spotten sea trout, mini black drum and several croaker! We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water…. we got a bonus seeing baby dolphins jumping! Highly recommend!
Captain Steve is the freakin man! Went out for a half day with my wife and two daughters. Core memories were made for my girls. We had the best time. Steve was so much fun, professional and knowledgeable. Our only regret is that we didn’t book a full day. Will be coming back next year to do it again. Wish I could give 10 stars.
Flew in from Nebraska and wanted a memory, experience and education. Exactly what I got with the fools I was with! Captain Steve has a great personality, put you on the fish, is super flexible for whether you need and all in for our shenanigans. Thanks and will see you again for sure.
Our family of 6 all went on this guide, and we had a good time. It was a little slow, but 3 of us caught a shark. Our captain did what he could to put us on fish. He was fun and played good music while on the water. I can't say enough good things about him.

Captain Steve was amazing. We’re new to the area and needed to learn more about fishing the rivers around Charleston. Captain Steve not only took us to some great spots where we caught very large redfish (25 to 32 inches), but was also very generous with sharing information to help us get acclimated to Charleston boating. we would highly recommend going out with him. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate.
Had a great time on Sunshine Charters. This was my first time fishing with a few friends of varying experience levels. Capt Stephen was knowledgable and patient teaching the more novice fishermen, he also explained why we fished where/how we were. He was personable and gave us a great day of fishing. Boat was clean and bait was ready to go when we got there, we got a few fish and one giant! Captain Stephen is awesome, this will be the only fishing charter I use in Charleston going forward! Could not recommend him enough.

Luke thank you for your review ! you and your party were eat to work with as well and definitely looking forward to our future trip !!! tight lines my friend 💯🎣💪
We (5, including 2 young boys) had a great time with Captain Stephen during afternoon 4 hour outing. He was very engaged and related well with the boys. Caught 3 nice keepers (2 reds and a black), two of which were pulled in by the boys, and a couple of rays. Some tolerable rain at the start, and a beautiful day thereafter. Captain Stephen has a new, wonderful boat, good equipment, plenty of bait, and is very knowledgeable about the area and fishing spots. Highly recommended!

John thank you fir your review and your kind words!! very fun trip !!! tight lines 🎣💯
We had a great fishing trip with Steve! He took us to multiple fishing stops where we caught fish in each spot. He was fun and engaging and as a bonus, he plays great music too! We definitely recommend him and will book with him the next time we are out here.
