Come out and experience some of the world class fishing Charleston has to offer! My 19 and a 1/2 foot Sea Pro bay boat comfortably fishes four people while also still getting i to all the shallow places redfish like to live.

Redfish are what we specialize in however we strive to customize each trip to what our customers wish to do. In addition to redfish, we offer chances to catch seatrout, flounder, sharks (when requested) and much more!

Whether you are a seasoned angler or it is your first time picking up the rod. The captain is here to assist you and cater the trip to your level of experience. First time anglers will get lessons on casting, tips on fighting fish and encouragement along the way. However we offer everything from fishing popping corks and bottom rigs to full artificial trips with light tackle for the more experienced anglers!

All bait, tackle, and saltwater licences are provided. There will also be some amenities like, water, sunscreen and bug spray on board.

Please feel free to bring a bag for your belongings, however, please note that it may get wet and we do not recomend paper bags.

I am happy to fillet any fish you choose to keep free of charge. If you would like to keep fish. Keep in mind, our number one goal is conservation, while we are happy to send you home with a few fish, we practice conservative limits to ensure we can continue having successful days in the future.

Please note, prior to your trip will be required to sign a liability waver.

What an incredible morning fishing with Captain Whit! We pushed off at 6am from Mount Pleasant and kicked things off with a beautiful sunrise on the water. The boat was spotless and fully stocked with plenty of bait, and before long everyone in our group was reeling in some nice fish. By mid-morning we were treated to stunning views of Charleston, which made the whole experience even more memorable. Captain Whit kept the energy fun and relaxed the entire trip, even staying out a little extra to be sure we all had the best time possible. Scenic, successful, and just plain fun — this is the charter you want in Charleston!

Thanks so much for coming out and for the great review. It was such a great time having y’all out there. The red we caught with the other cork in his mouth will be one I won’t forget for a while!

Evening 3 hour Bull Red/ Shark Trip

Absolutely amazing fishing trip

VERIFIED

We went out for a short 3 hour shark/bull redfish trip on July 24, 2025. Captain Witt got us a very nice fine tooth shark when we first got out, and as the sun started to set we moved spots and he got us a trophy bull redfish, we also lost another at the boat. He was very informative, and was constantly setting up lines and making sure we were having fun. All fish on the trip were successfully released without injury. I would recommend Captain Witt to anyone coming down to South Carolina. We were very impressed.

Full Day Trip – Inshore

Inshore Trip 10/18

Great trip with Capt. Whit for inshore fishing. We got on fish shortly after launching and stayed busy the entire day. Whit was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed the trip. We caught shark, bluefish, red drum, and flounder throughout the day, and caught multiple fish at every location. Highly recommend using Capt. Whit for your trip and we are planning to book another trip next time family comes to visit.

Great way to start our weekend trip!

Whit was awesome, kept in touch with me weeks in advance and made sure to update me on what the fishing had been looking like leading up to our trip. We ended up catching an oyster toad fish on accident along with a pretty sizable shark later on in the trip!

Had a great time on the shark/bull red trip

Did the shark/bull red trip with Captain Whit. Super cool guy, made the experience even better. Price was really affordable compared to other charters. Me and my friend landed 2 sharks each. Would totally recommend to anybody looking to fight some big fish for a good price.
