Cloud 9 Fishing Charters
Cloud 9 Fishing Charters
Cloud 9 Fishing Charters, led by Captain Carson Engelke, offers unparalleled fishing experiences in the waters of Murrells Inlet. With over eight years of experience in the fishing world and a deep-rooted connection to the sea, Captain Carson guides anglers of all skill levels on unforgettable adventures.
Species like Sailfish, Vermilion Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Black Seabass, Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Gray Triggerfish, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Embark on a journey aboard the 31’ Cape Horn charter fishing boat, equipped with dual 300 Suzuki motors for power and reliability. Safety is paramount with a comprehensive array of life jackets and essential safety gear onboard. Advanced navigation technology, including autopilot, radar, sonar, and a chart plotter, ensures a smooth and efficient fishing experience. Capt. Carson has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Don’t forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, Captain Carson’s commitment to safety and passion for fishing guarantee an enjoyable and memorable day on the water with Cloud 9 Fishing Charters.

Captain Carson was fantastic and clearly knows what he is doing out there.
Battled some dense fog early on, but Captain Carson got us on the fish and loaded the cooler.

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore
Carson put us on the big fish!
Set out on a September 6 hour charter with Carson and first mate Cameron. Carson was in touch the week leading up to the trip with weather updates. Turned out to be a perfect day. Within 5 minutes of arrival to the first fishing spot we were hooked to a decent King Mackerel. We then caught a large Spanish Mackerel and then hooked a monster King that fought 3 of us for over 15 min. What a thrill! Finished our trip with some bottom fishing and added a few more species to the cooler. The boat is large, great for 5 or 6 anglers. The boat moved at impressive speeds and handled the chop like I've never seen. Overall this is a great value. Don't hesitate to book!

10 hour trip – Offshore
Bucket List Achievement Unlocked!
Captain Carson and First Mate Cameron helped me cross this item off my bucket list! From the minute we stepped onto the boat he made sure we were safe and comfortable. As soon as we were in the perfect spot we got into the Mahi Mahi right away and at one point they were getting hooked faster than we could reel them in! Good coaching, answers to all my curious questions, and a fantastic day on the water. Thank you gentlemen for a day that will be remembered for the rest of my life!
