If you plan on fishing in Murrells Inlet, look no further than Southern Charter Co, a family-owned and operated company offering a variety of charters, including kid-friendly trips. Captain Chris Anderson is at the helm, and his knowledge of various fish and fishing goes back years in experience!

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Tarpon, Spanish Mackerel, Gag Grouper, Sheepshead, Great Barracuda, Amberjack, Flounder, Kingfish, Black Drum, Bull Shark, Spotted Seatrout, and plenty more. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Upon arrival, you will board a 2023, 23' Southern Cross with a custom tower that's one of a kind, built by Captain Chris himself! This trusty vessel has a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Captain Chris will supply you with all your bait, tackle, and fishing gear and will clean your catch at the end of the trip. Come prepared for a good time and memories to last a lifetime!

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. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

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.
