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.

Brandon Norman5.0Verifiedbest trip ever.
Half – Day Fishing Charter on June 11, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain 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!
Crystal Hall5.0VerifiedAwsome experience
Half – Day Fishing Charter on May 30, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain 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.
Garry GueldaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOur best inland trip so far!!

Joshua Nachreiner5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!
Half – Day Fishing Charter - 12:00 PM on June 6, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Ryan knows his stuff! he got us on the fish and made everything fun even in the down time! He is was great with explaining on how to fish each setup! I didn't know how but he knew what fish were on the hook before we even got them up out of the water! he was also very helpful with my son on getting what he wanted in a shark 🦈! Will be booking again if ever in the area, well recommended, you won't be disappointed! Thanks for the great memories!
Joe VuonoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCaptain was relentless!
Half – Day Fishing Charter on June 5, 2026 • 6 adultsInitially booked a charter to chase redfish, but the red fish just went around that morning. But our captain was relentless in his pursuit to find us quality fish and the bait to catch them on. We did a little spot hopping, tried a couple techniques and our captain never slowed his pursuit. By the end we found some fresh fish for the cooler, and caught some hard fighting sharks along the way. Fantastic morning! Highly recommend.
Scott FegleyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome Spring Fishing in SC
Half – Day Fishing Charter - 12:00 PM on April 12, 2026 • 3 adultsYou 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
Aubry WootenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewGreat captain and a memorable catch!
Half – Day Fishing Charter on October 16, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a great time on the water! Captain Ryan put us on some beautiful redfish, and reeling in a fish like this was the highlight of the trip. A memorable fishing experience and a great way to spend the day in Murrells Inlet. Would definitely book again!
Carli Cook5.0VerifiedFishing with Ryan
Half – Day Fishing Charter on April 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptian 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.
Joseph FreemanRepeat angler5.0Verifiedexcellent trip!
Shark Fishing (Action – Packed ) on September 5, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain 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!)
Ryan MandigoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Sunday on the water!!
Half – Day Fishing Charter on August 23, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Ryan knowledge of the water and the area were second to none!! Brought us right to the right locations to catch fish. Had a little extra excitement with a 3-4 foot shark taking a fish right off one of our anglers hooks. Was crazy to witness. Good times were had by all and will definitely be using Carptain Ryan and Palmetto Fishing Charters again!!

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!

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!
Captain Ryan is a great! Very personable, interactive, and informative. We booked a shark fishing excursion, and did manage to catch a couple, hammerhead and such. Also caught trout, mackerel and redfish. Fishing right after a full moon is never optimal, but tide was right, weather was gorgeous, and we had fun! Thanks Captain Ryan!
Thank you so much, Mr. Neer, for the great review! I really wanted you and your family to experience a true Lowcountry day on the water and see what Murrells Inlet has to offer. Even though the fishing was a little slow, we still managed a few sharks and some other species, and seeing your wife reel in that big redfish at the end was definitely a great way to finish the trip! I truly enjoyed having y’all onboard and hope you had a great time. I’d love to fish with you both again in the future. Captain Ryan
Captain Ryan went out his way to make sure my son, nephew, and I caught fish! Captain Ryan genuinely cared about making sure our trip was fun and successful. I enjoyed hearing all the great stories Captain Ryan had to share. He also taught all of us a great deal about salt water fishing. We will be making this an annual tradition when we go to Surfside Beach each summer. And Captain Ryan is who I’m going to call. We simply could not have asked for better!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Mr. Kednocker! The evening conditions were challenging, but I’m glad we made the best of them and were still able to catch some fish and create great memories. I really enjoyed teaching your son and nephew different saltwater fishing techniques and watching them put those skills to use. I’m honored to be part of your new annual beach tradition! Next year, we’ll have to book a morning trip so we can hopefully enjoy better conditions and even more action. I look forward to fishing with you all again!

Thank you so much, Mr. Guelda, for the fantastic review! It was an absolute pleasure having you and your brother back on the water. We definitely had to work for those fish, but once we found them, the action was incredible. Landing six over-slot redfish and a couple of keeper flounder for dinner made for a memorable day! I truly appreciate your kind words about my effort. I always do my best to keep the hooks baited, lines in the water, and everyone fishing when the bite is on. Thank you again for trusting me with your trip, and I can’t wait to have you both back next year for another great day chasing big redfish! Tight lines!
