Murrells Inlet, SC, United States

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.

Murrels inlet 7/19/25
12 Hour Trip – Gulfstream/mahi,tuna on July 19, 20253 adults
The captain was great. Drove the boat very well through the waves out and back. He had very nice equipment. We did not get any bites for about 2 to 3 hours when we was trolling but he adapted and changed he tactics up a little and we ended up catching 1wahoo 2 mahi-mahi 2 blackfin tuna. Great guy to talk to while out at sea fishing. If you have the opportunity I would recommend him for your next fishing adventure.

It was cold and windy and fishing conditions were not the best. We stayed inland and captain was still able to put is on fish! Overall if you take out the cold and wind from today it was great experience would highly recommend to anybody!

Wesley was great. He took us to places were the fish were abundant, we stopped counting after 60. We also had many questions about boats and fishing in general and Wesley answered all of our questions. Great charter, would highly recommend.
