Island Boys Outdoor Adventures
Make an adventure out of your next trip in Charleston and go fishing with Island Boys Outdoor Adventures.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Redfish, Spadefish, Speckled Trout, Cobia, Sharks, Sheepshead, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Gag Grouper, Flounder, Black Drum, Tarpon, Amberjack, and who knows what else! On these trips, it’s common to use floats, artificial lures and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Children are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, we have several on board. Food and Snacks are not included. We will have ice and plenty of bottled water.
Your adventure begins aboard The Finnatic, a 24' Sea Fox center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is almost always the number one option. Some trips we will have already in the livewell when you board the Finnatic. Other trips we will be catching the bait before we fish.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Island Boys Outdoor Adventures.

Full Day Trip – Offshore
Great family fishing trip
My in-laws and I went out with Capt. Art and had a great time. We did not go out the 30 miles originally planned due to weather however that was very clearly communicated the day before and everyone in the group understood this. We caught a red, sharks, and had great - long fights with an eagle ray and a massive tarpon. Capt. Art had the perfect combo of gear to catch anything that bit our live bait. The Capt. was a great man, professional but still able to be humorous. You could see him shift into a different gear with a fish on, even he was excited that we were catching fish. That excitement comes out in how he teaches as well. He is very knowledgeable and even if you are a (semi)experienced angler or a newbie, Capt. Art is the Capt. you want to take out!

Half Day Trip (AM)
Great day!
Would highly recommend booking a trip with Capt Art of Island Boys Charters. He knows where the fish are and how to catch them. Put me and my two sons on action from start to finish and is an easy guy to get along with. Will be the only guy we fish with when we are back in Charleston.
