    Hooked for life!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on August 12, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    "I couldn't have asked for a better first time fishing experience. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Perry and First Mate KP made us feel welcome and at ease. It was a perfect day on the water with our boys, where we not only caught a lot of fish but also learned so much about the local marine life. KP's knowledge was impressive and his respectful demeanor made him a pleasure to be around. Captain Perry's friendly nature and warm personality made the whole trip feel less like a charter and more like a day out with good friends. This father-son team is truly a special find. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure."

    When can we go again?!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on July 10, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 children

    This was SUCH a great time. Capt Perry and JP were phenomenal. They were so warm and friendly. JP is the best first mate I’ve ever met. He was quick with rebaiting hooks, finding great spots and the best part, he was GREAT with our 7-8 year old girls. He would tell them all the things, he would let them reel in the “big one”. On the ride back he sat with my daughter and showed her nest on the pylon, the ship wreck boat over there, etc. Capt Perry was fantastic too! He was great with the kids and showing them the parts of the fish and teaching them about the fish etc. Lastly, both were friendly and professional. Always asking what we wanted to do but then also giving me updates and suggestions to make the most of our trip. He stayed in touch through out the whole planning process as well as trip itself. Time flew by, we have so much fun. I can’t wait to book again. We did near shore/inshore. They had all the equipment needed and all the varieties of bait. We went out for 4 hours in the morning. 4 adults and two 7-8 year old girls. Variety of experience amongst us all (none of us experts tho)

    The Best Day on the Water!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on June 19, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We went out on a half-day charter with Good Times Fishing Co., and I honestly can’t say enough good things. It was me and my three girls (15, 13, and 12) — none of them are really into fishing — but Captain Perry and JP made it such a fun, relaxed day. They were patient, kind, and just great with the kids. The girls had a blast, learned a ton, and now they can't wait to go again. You can tell these guys really love what they do, and they know their stuff both fishing and boating. It felt like hanging out with friends who happen to be amazing guides. This trip meant a lot to us, and we’ve already decided it’s going to be a yearly tradition. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, don’t hesitate just go with Good Times Fishing Co. You’ll have an awesome time with great people

    Great fishing trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on August 5, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 children

    If you are looking for a great fishing trip for you and your family, Capt. Perry and his first mate JP, are the ones that you want to take you out on the water! They were both very patient with us and helped our boys and their friend (ages 10, 11, 11). Both of them explained everything that was going on and what type of fish we caught. This was the boys first trip and they loved it and had a great experience.

    Great Family Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on June 26, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had a really fun time with Captain Perry and his son JP. Both were incredibly patient and kind. They had great positive energy and made sure to hype up the kids (9, 14). They were excellent teachers. This sets them apart. Both were very knowledgeable and passionate but treated us with great respect. Would highly recommend this trip for all skill levels and with kids especially. Thanks for the fun time and memories

    Great time with Great People!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on June 24, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Perry and JP had us catching fish early and often. They did a great job managing a boat of six with multiple younger anglers. The two kept our lines in the water and bait flowing so we could focus on catching fish. The only complaint is we couldn’t fish with these guys longer! If you find yourself looking for great guys to get you on fish and you’re in the North Myrtle Beach area look up Good Times and have a Great Time!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on June 18, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Perry and his First Mate JP! We caught lots of fish and learned a great deal about how to catch more fish and information about the fish we caught! The boat was very clean and well stocked for our half day of fishing. I would highly recommend Captain Perry and JP if you want a fun and entertaining day of fishing! They are The Best!!!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on June 12, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 children

    This was our first trip out and it was amazing. The weather was great. The kids all caught fish. We learned a bunch about salt water fishing. The captain and first mate were knowledgeable and were always there when we needed help. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who has kids that want to try salt water fishing.

Thank you so much for the kind words Amanda! We had so much fun with y’all today. Everyone did great fishing and had good attitudes despite the little bit of “liquid sunshine” 🌧️ that found us. 😂 We were super impressed with everyone’s eagerness to learn and I can’t tell you just how stoked I am for you to learn that tricky flounder bite in such a short time!! Seriously! That was awesome. Safe travels back home and we hope you join us again next year if y’all come back down to MB for vacation. Best, Capt. Perry

Thank you so much for the kind words Kelli. We had tons of fun with y’all! We truly count it a privlege that you would allow us to be a part of your family’s vacation time. I’m excited for your new tradition of gathering with childhood friends at the coast. Y’all will make priceless memories over the years to come. We had such a great day on the water. The girls did awesome and the icing on the cake was the expression of grit and accomplishment on your daughters face as she was fighting that big ray! What an experience! We hope the rest of your time here is wonderful and have safe travels as you head back home. Wishing you all the best, Capt. Perry

Good Times Fishing Co is aptly named!!!
4 Hour Trip – Mid Day on June 24, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children

This charter was exactly what we hoped for!!! My wife and I, along with our 3 kids (ages 12,10,7) were on vacation and decided to go out fishing. Our goal was to make some new memories and catch some fish. . . and that's precisely what we did! After meeting Captain Perry and his first mate, JP, we knew this was the right charter. They were both friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Captain Perry started the charter with a prayer. He was very pleasant to talk to and quite informative. After about 90 minutes in the 90+ degree heat, my kids started to wilt. The Captain offered several alternatives --- and we chose to pull over and get out on the beach to cool off. JP cast his net several times in the shallow water to catch mullet and the kids had a blast picking the fish off the sand and placing them in a bucket. It was actually their favorite part of our day. We were successful at catching bigger fish as well! We caught a couple sharks (which was our goal) and we got to keep our flounder (which JP expertly filleted). I highly recommend this charter - the Captain and first mate really strive to provide the very best experience possible! Even if we had caught nothing - I know this still would have been a pleasant and positive experience because of these 2 gentlemen.

Thank you so much for the kind words Travis! We had such a wonderful time with y’all. The kids did great despite the heat of the day and it was a real joy to spend time on the water with you and your family. Thank you for honoring us with sharing a small piece of your vacation. We are so grateful for the opportunity. We hope and pray that the rest of your summer is fantastic and please look us up if you come back down this way next summer. We’d love to take y’all out on the water again! Wishing you all the best, Capt. Perry

Was nervous about using this app because I just didn’t know. This is my sixth chartered boat trip and by far the best! JP just has a gift and I love the way Perry honors his son’s gift. Such a humble crew that puts you on fish. We were blessed to be with believers and blessed to be on the water. That is worth the money alone! Catching my very first flounder sealed the deal! If we are back down this way next year, then we are doing this again and I am seasoning my filets as I compose this. This was so awesome!

I've been in the business of training kids for 22 years through my gymnastics business. I've recently semi-retired from the day to day of that business and just started this fishing charter business with my son and first mate JP. With a love for boats, adventure and the great outdoors I pursued getting my captains license to share this passion with others. Our family has been spending the duration of our summers here at the coast fishing and boating for the last 6 years. Now we'd love to share our love for fishing, and spending time with family in the great outdoors with you. My son JP has a joy for fishing like no other and the skills to teach and share his depth of knowledge with others no matter what their age or ability. We're here as your guide team to show you a great time on the water and help you land the fish of your dreams.
