Your fishing license for the day is covered by Palmetto Tide Charters, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Inshore Fishing Trip - Afternoon on May 23, 20262 adults
We caught shark and red fish. What made the trip unforgettable was the captain. It felt as if we had been friends for life even though we had just met. We will definitely go out again with Joseph the next time we are in Charleston!

Captain was very knowledgeable, laid back & kind
Inshore Fishing Trip - Morning on April 25, 20262 adults1 child
This captain deserves a lot of credit. He made it easy to bring my toddler and went with the flow with ease. He was super chill, great conversationalist, but not overbearing at all. Just a very natural and kind person to be around and knows his stuff too. I truly enjoyed it (and his oldies beach vibes music too, lol!) and would definitely recommend him to anyone. We will also be sure to come back to him if we ever come back to the area. Thank you for a great trip!

Wonderful trip
Inshore Fishing Trip - Morning on February 21, 20264 adults
We are 2 grandparents and 2 teenage grandsons. Despite not catching fish it was a fun and exciting trip. Captain Joseph did his best to pursue the fish. The guys related to him and his genuineness. They loved the fast and lengthly boat ride. We appreciate the thought and effort Captain Joseph put into making it a memorable experience for our grandsons

Best Charter Experience So Far...
Inshore Fishing Trip - Morning on September 12, 20254 adults
As an angler, hiring a charter can sometimes feel like a gamble—especially when you’re taking clients out. Since relocating to the area, I’ve booked four different charters, and I can say without hesitation: this one was the best. Captain Joseph is outstanding and clearly has a long, successful career ahead of him. His communication before, during, and after the trip was top-notch, and his attention to detail showed in every part of the experience. From preparation and planning to execution on the water, he controlled every variable he could, making the trip smooth and enjoyable. Not only will I continue to book future client trips with Joseph, but I’ll also be scheduling family trips as well. Highly recommend Palmetto Tide Charters if you want professionalism, preparation, and an unforgettable day on the water.
Reported catch:
Black Seabass
Redfish
Bull Shark
