If you’re going to cast a line in Murrells Inlet, look no further than Next Lvl Sportfishing. Captain Hunter will be your guide, offering years of local experience.
Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Spanish Mackerel, Black Drum, Black Seabass, and more can be found in these waters if you come at the right time of year. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to use light tackle.
Your vessel for the day is a 24’ Center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. It’s never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Next Lvl Sportfishing.

These guys did everything possible to put us on fish, they seemed to take it personal for us to catch fish. Good people.

Hunter was knowledgeable and put us on fish in the two spots we stopped. He got us off the ocean before it became to rough and took us to another spot where fish were again plentiful. Would go again without hesitation.

Fishing in July is a gamble. Tough conditions and lots of pressure The captain was a nice guy and gave a fair effort but 1 very small flounder and 1 small stingray for 3 anglers/ 4hours is disappointing
