Careyon Charters welcomes everyone aboard, from family groups to seasoned pros, and offers exciting fishing trips to suit any taste. Captain Dan Carey has been fishing commercially for over 30 years, and always knows where the best fish are. He will get you there, even if it means traveling over 70 miles out.

Capt. Dan's 30' Sea Hunt center console boat has been specially picked out for its stability and rugged design, able to withstand the worst the Atlantic can throw at her. Powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha engines, it will have you offshore in no time, and comes equipped with everything you will need to bring in the very best once you get there.

The vessel has the latest electronics and navigational equipment to hone in on your target, and tournament-grade tackle to best troll for fast-moving Wahoo and Tuna. The vessel also has a portable head for extra comfort on longer trips.

Head out to the Gulf Stream for a sportfishing extravaganza targeting massive Wahoo and Tuna, or fish the offshore reefs for delicious bottom species like Grouper and Snapper. You can also hit the water after dark for big game battles against monster Sharks – the ocean's ultimate predator.

The thing that sets this crew apart, however, is not the boat, but the man at the helm. Anyone can buy a top-of-the-line vessel, but it takes a certain kind of captain to truly make her shine. Capt. Dan has won multiple Wahoo and King Mackerel tournaments, and has proved himself as a captain you can trust to get you your money's worth every time.

So whether you want high-speed pelagic action, productive food fishing, or are looking to faces the terrors of the night, you can trust Careyon Charters to guide you to that fish of your dreams!

Due to rising costs of fuel,bait,ice etc…Careyon charters is forced to raise their prices. Hopefully things will get better and I can return to normal pricing.

    Landon our captain was terrific!

    6 hour offshore on August 21, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We set out on a beautiful August morning. Landon took us out to about 55 ft of water where we dropped down and caught four groupers a red snapper, some sea bass and a grunt. It was the wrong season to keep three of the groupers and red snapper. The wind started picking up making it difficult to stay on point so we made our way back into the harbor. There we trolled and caught a whole bunch of bunch of Spanish mackerel and a baby shark! What a great experience. My 12-year-old grandson will never forget it.

    Inshore Half Day

    6 hour offshore on July 25, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Enjoyed a good inshore trip w/Capt. Landon. Unfortunately, the weather dictated more of our trip than we would have liked; but, Capt. Landon made the best of it for us and put us on the fish. Good conversation and high service kept us having fun the full time even when the lines weren’t tight. Highly recommend Careyon for a great experience on the water.

    Black Sea Bass Galore!

    6 hour offshore on March 25, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Danny was great to work with! Contacted us ahead of time because we weren’t sure the weather would cooperate to go further offshore. He offered another date but unfortunately it wasn’t going to work with our vacation schedule. It ended up working out to go out as planned even though the water was a bit choppy. He got the group on some great Black Sea bass which was our trip goal. The guys even saw a few dolphin and a sea turtle! In total, the guys caught 17 fish and we had an amazing fish fry back at our rental for dinner that same night! Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

    Perfect 3/4 offshore trip

    6 hour offshore on June 28, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Had a great time fishing with Capt. Carey on 6/28/24. He texted us with meeting location multiple days ahead of the trip and was able to work with our schedule for a later start time. We ran about 35 miles offshore, started with some trolling for King, but nothing was biting. After an hour of trolling, we switched to bottom fishing. Some of the best bottom action I had this year. Capt. Carey put us right on the fish and was super kind and helpful with my friend whom has not fished for 10 years. Caught a lot of keepers for dinner and a lot of big red snappers that we released. Definitely recommend him if you are in Myrtle Beach. Looking forward to going back later this year to fish with him again.

    Fish on!

    8 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on June 11, 2024 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Our morning started with deceptively calm seas and a gentle breeze in town, when we we met pretty rough water 25-35 miles offshore. Captain Dan let us the conditions were going to be challenging, but we would try a variety of fishing techniques to get on some fish. True to his word he switch from trolling to bottom fishing and the action started immediately. My teenage boys started catching a variety of fish with some keepers, and I hooked into a couple of nice amberjacks that we brought home for dinner. We decided collectively to cut our day a little short as the swell continued to build, and we were all ready to give our legs a rest. Captain Dan was great through it all. We all had a great time. I loved catching fish, but equally enjoyed listening to and telling stories with Captain Dan on the trip back in to town. Highly recommend booking with Careyon Charters.

    Trip with Captain Dan

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 11, 2023 • 6 adults

    We all had a great experience for first time goers on the ocean fishing. Our captain Dan was awesome, he was so patient and made sure all of us were all ok constantly. Even though we had 3 of us get sea sick he spent time bringing us back closer to land to get us back to feeling better. Then we went back out farther into the ocean to see if would be ok for the second time around. We went over our 5 hr time limit because he wanted us to get the best experience ever. My husband and son are all ready to come back and go out again in the future. They loved it… us girls it was a great experience but we will pry just all stick to the boat rides in the ocean instead of being stationary in the water and letting the waves get to us. Take lots of Dramamine days before you go out we didn’t do that till hrs before. But the overall trip was worth it and Dan was excellent. Thank you Captain Dan!!

    1/2 day on July 23, 2025 • 6 adults

    Excellent experience. We appreciated the upfront honesty of the crew when we had reschedule do to unsafe weather conditions. Got us on the water a few days later. Very reliable and communication was spot on. Our group of teens had an amazing time catching eight species of fish.

    Awesome trip!

    8 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on August 17, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Dan was very accommodating to our boys ages 11 & almost 13! My wife caught the biggest fish that she has ever caught, Scamp Grouper in the 20lb.+ range and the state record is 29lbs.! We caught 7 different species and took home lots of tasty fish! We would highly recommend Captain Dan and when we’re back in the area we will definitely be fishing with him again!

    6hr trip with Captain Dan

    6 Hour Trip on June 17, 2023 • 2 adults

    To sum up my experience in one word it would be EXCELLENCE. We had to reschedule it once due to bad weather and he made the process completely pain free. Then he worked his hardest to make sure our trip was fun even though the fish were not wanting to cooperate for us or any of the other boats we met. We ended our day on a high note when my dad snagged a mahi mahi thanks to Captain Dan. All in all he made my dad’s 60th birthday one to remember. Thanks again for everything Captain Dan. And we will see you again soon.

Another great on the water
8 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on May 18, 2026 • 4 adults

The weather was perfect and so were the captain and crew. We were actually luck to have 2 captains work the boat, Lucas and Dalton. Both very experienced, informative, and a pleasure to fish with always right there when you needed them. We caught a good deal of fish on an 8 hour trip because every tip the bite stopped we were quickly off to a new spot. Highly recommend these captains

Captain Dan Carey has fished commercially for over 30 years, and has guided clients to multiple tournament wins, bagging his fair share of prizes himself along the way. Growing up on the Hudson River, fishing is in his blood, and he is never happier than when he is out on the water.due to unforeseen medical conditions, I have another charter company running charters until further notice. Captain Randy from next lvl sportfishing and his staff will still provide the services if not better that I provided for many years.
