If you're itching for a hook up to test your fishing skills, Palmetto Fishing Charters is the answer! If you're a complete novice and want to fall in love with angling, the answer is the same. Captain Ryan Isabelle has all the answers and he's keen on sharing them with you.
Join him for a fishing adventure in the waters of Murrells Inlet on board his 24' Sea Hunt, which can accommodate up to 6 guests. Her center console design allows you to move around freely while chasing the bite, and her T-top provides shade so you can take a break from the South Carolinian sun.
The area around Murrells Inlet is extremely rich in fish species you can go after, thanks to the many bays and inlets that connect to the ocean. The A-listers of inshore fishing are all on the catch list. Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, and Spotted Seatrout are all waiting for the right angler to give them a fight. A bit further away from the marshes and bays, you can hook up Sharks, Cobia, Bluefish, Spadefish, and maybe a Mackerel or two, depending on the season and local conditions.
You'll be provided with all the equipment you may need with Palmetto Fishing Charters, as well as Capt. Ryan's expert advice. He'll even clean and fillet your catch on your way back to the dock. Just make sure to avoid bringing spray sunscreen (lotion sunscreen is fine), glass, and bananas on board.
Taxes and fees involved with the credit card processing are not included in the price.

Captain Ryan was tremendous. He was super knowledgable and answered every question about the wildlife, boating and was extremely friendly in general. We caught redfish, flounder, and sting rays. Ryan thought we hooked a couple bullsharks too! But they got away from us. Incredible experience overall. You must wear sunscreen and prepare for the boat to rock SIGNIFICANTLY from the waves. We felt sick a few times and Ryan brought us back to calmer water to settle and then took us back out again. Sweet experience, sweet music playing, just a wonderful addition to our trip. Thank you, Ryan!
Thank you so much, Mr. Norman, for the excellent review! I truly enjoyed having you all aboard and answering your questions about the wildlife and boating around Murrells Inlet. You caught a great variety of fish, and those bull sharks certainly gave us a run for our money! The prize was the redfish! I’m glad we were able to find calmer water when needed and still make the most of the trip. Thank you again for choosing Palmetto Fishing Charters—it was a pleasure fishing with you!
You never know what you’ll catch with early Spring inshore fishing. Captain Ryan knows the local waters and worked hard to get us on the fish. We caught our limit of mackerel in about an hour and then picked up a smorgasbord of bluefish, sheepshead, a red drum, and a porgy all in a four hour afternoon trip. I took my daughter and her college roommate. Neither had been ocean fishing before and my daughter went more to spend time with Dad than to fish. But both girls caught lots of fish and had a blast. We also had some closeup encounters with sea turtles which was a bonus. Captain Ryan, a Coastal Carolina alum, was awesome with my first time fishing ladies. He made the extra effort to make sure they were enjoying the trip. Like me, I could tell he enjoys passing on his passion for fishing to others. I look forward to fishing with Captain Ryan again
Thank you so much for the kind words—this one means a lot. Springtime fishing is always full of surprises, and I’m glad we were able to get you on a great mix of fish and make it a fun, memorable trip for everyone. It was awesome having you, your daughter, and her roommate onboard—watching first-time anglers light up never gets old. I truly appreciate you trusting me with the experience, and I’m already looking forward to getting you back out on the water again soon!
Captain Ryan had a great personality and was on top of everything the whole trip. As soon as we got a bite he was right there helping and guiding us. Literally seconds after the catch he was handing us another pole ready to cast. I did get a little sea sick and he was very caring and accommodated quickly. If nothing was biting he was not wasting time and would move us to another spot which I appreciate. He was very knowledgeable. Captain Ryan was great especially with my son and making sure he had the best time. We all had a great time and will be booking with him again.
Thank you so much, Mrs. Hall! I really appreciate the kind words and I’m so glad you and your family had a great time. It was a pleasure having y’all on the boat, and I’m especially happy your son enjoyed the trip. I always want everyone to feel comfortable, taken care of, and have the best experience possible from start to finish. I truly appreciate you booking with me and look forward to having y’all back out again soon!
Captian Ryan made this experience a success for my son 13th birthday gift. The day we had previously booked the weather wasn’t in our favor— Ryan was responsive with communication from the moment we booked to rescheduling and not doing so last minute. We may have not catch the most fish but Ryan has the knowledge and equipment to get you set up for success. He also helped fish along side us to give my son more chances on reeling in the keeper. I would definitely recommend this charter- we look forward to booking again next year when we visit.
Thank you so much for the kind words—it truly means a lot. I’m really glad we were able to make your son’s 13th birthday a special and memorable experience. Sometimes the weather and bite don’t line up perfectly, but I’ll always do everything I can to put you in the best position to succeed and make sure everyone has a great time out on the water. It was a pleasure fishing with you both, and I appreciate you trusting me with such an important day. Looking forward to having you back next year—hopefully with even more fish and another great memory for your son! 🎣
Captain Ryan was gracious and well prepared for the trip. he was extremely knowledgeable about the waters around Murrell’s Inlet and up and down the coast. even though the water was exceptionally warm, my son and i each caught hammerheads and even took some flounder filets home too! We will definitely be booking again (but maybe in October next time!)
