Sunshine Charters of Charleston

Sunshine Charters of Charleston runs angling trips out of Charleston South Carolina and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Stephen will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Seabass, Redfish, Sheepshead, Flounder, Black Drum, Sharks, Bull Reds and Spotted Seatrout, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your adventure begins on board a 25’ Sportsman boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet, ice box, and a wireless trolling motor.

The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day and you’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

There will be complimentary water aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Sunshine Charters of Charleston.
