Book your next trip with Reel Life Fishing Charters and find out what fishing in murrells inlet is all about.

Species like Black Grouper, Red Snapper, Flounder, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your day begins aboard a 27' cape horn center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Reel Life Fishing Charters is just a click away.

Capt Wes kept us on the fish!
Inshore/nearshore on May 27, 20265 adults
The sea was not cooperating, but Capt Wes and Riley did everything they could to keep us catching. Capt and Riley prepped the fish and told us where to take them for a fresh catch meal. It was a great experience!.

My son had a smile on his face the whole time. When we go back we will definitely book his charter again, though this time we will book a full day. Notnonly did he fillet it for us he also suggested where to take it to have it prepared. It was fantastic!
