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.

killer fishing trip
1/2 day nearshore/offshore - 12:00 PM on June 15, 20263 adults1 child

What an amazing experience! My 15-year-old and 8-year-old sons had an absolute blast from start to finish. The captain and crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and great with kids, making sure everyone had a chance to be involved and enjoy the day. The boys were so excited helping get the fish on the hook and watching the action unfold. We caught some incredible fish and made memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing charter, I highly recommend booking a trip. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water and can't wait to come back! 🎣🐟☀️

Great experience. First time out on a fishing excursion and it was fun. Great boat and equipment with a better captain. In town and my 15 year old son wanted to try this out. Brought the wife an my 6 year old along. Captain was on top of everything. Definitely recommend and will consider for another excursion next time we are in town.

Great time despite the weather
6 hour offshore on July 23, 20263 adults1 child

Wesley took us out and we had a great time despite the wind creating some rougher seas than my 10 year old could handle. Wesley pivoted and plan B was still a blast for everyone. He knows what he is doing and makes it a fun experience while on the boat. Thanks so much!
