Make it a family fishing adventure, and bring the kids! Captain Chris is a father of 2 and is great with children. They are sure to have a fun time! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available on board. It's always wise to bring your own drinks, snacks, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Water will be available for you.

    Perfect day on the water

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 29, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Chris was as good as it gets. We did a little bit of everything the area had to offer. As an avid angler in the Great Lakes region i was out of my element to say the least. He was great showing me and my boys the ropes. What a great experience and I will 100% fish with Chris again.

Southern Charter Co is our family-owned and operated company, and I'm Captain Chris Anderson. Growing up, I woke up every morning and went fishing. Before school, after school, and sometimes during school. It's something I'd do with my Grandaddies and my Dad, and it turned into a passion. I was able to compete in local fishing tournaments, and now I'm living my dream of being a full-time charter captain. My wife and I are locals of Cape Coral, Florida, and Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
