Desperado Fishing Charters
If you’re ready to experience fishing in Murrells Inlet, book a trip with Desperado Fishing Charters.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Cobia , Black Seabass, Flounder, Amberjack, Spadefish, Speckled Trout, Great Barracuda, and whatever else is biting. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Trips with Desperado Fishing Charters are great for kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!
Your adventure begins aboard a 24’ Key West Center console with room for 6 passengers. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
You can’t go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, it’s time to hit the water with Desperado Fishing Charters!

Great Trip
We had a blast fishing on the Desperado boat, went after some bigger fish to begin the day, but that didn’t pan out. Captain quickly took us to a different spot and we caught plenty of flounder, not much time seem to be wasted with the captain and deckhand, they kept the lines wet and fished till the very last min they could before we headed back in.

Captain Tommy and his first mate are great. You want to catch big flounder, etc this is your charter boat.
On a day other charters were catching 1 or 2 we caught several fish. This is your charter if you like carving big fish
