Francisco Combes5.0Half Day with Captain Matt (Southern Roots Fishing Charters)
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on March 7, 2026We have used Southern Roots Fishing Charters for the last couple of years and always have a great time. Captain Matt is always well prepared, is very professional and always has a plan of action based on the conditions. If you are staying in Sea Pines, you cannot ask for a better location right off the Harbour Town pier.

Laura Branstetter5.0Great Day on the Water !!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on August 13, 2025In August our group of 4 went on a 1/2-day charter fishing excursion with Captain Matt, we had an amazing time. Matt put us right on the fish. The boat is super nice, very clean. Matt is an expert captain and knew right where to go to find the fish. Everybody is still talking about what a fun day it was. We're planning to book again soon. The waters around HHI are gorgeous and the great fishing made it that much more special. I highly recommend Southern Roots Fishing Charters! Matt said he's lived his whole life in the HHI area and has been on the water since a small child. His knowledge of the waters was invaluable. If you want a great day fishing, definitely go out with Captain Matt.
Terry Kuhl2.7Verifiedvery different experience
2 Hour Trip – Kids - 10:00 AM on May 18, 2026 • 4 adultsWe have done many charters and this one was very different. No fish, no conversations, no humor and no fun! Highlight was being out on the water.
