If you’re ready to go fishing in Beaufort, look no further than Tide Ride Charters LLC. With Captain Dave at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, and anything else that bites. On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

Your day begins aboard a 22’ Bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Dave will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Families making a day of it will be glad that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It’s recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Tide Ride Charters LLC!

Great experience with Capt Dave! Had to book a last minute trip because some family came into town, and despite tough conditions, Capt Dave put us on some great fish and gave us a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be seeing him again and I’ll be recommending Tide Ride Charters to my friends who want to grocery shop the right way, on the water!

The effort Captain Dave gave was 110 percent. We moved to different creeks and locations looking for the fish. Wind and a big swells kept us in the creeks. It was one of those days, I would highly recommend his charter.
