Palmetto Fishing Charters 

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!

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.

Me and my brother have been taking these 4 hour inland trips for years and I must say this was the best one.Ryan really knows what he’s doing and works really hard to keep the action going.You get hung up,he’s there.Need bait,he’s on it.We caught 6 redfish over 26 inches and a couple flounder we took to the hotel for dinner.If you want your best chance at catching some nice fish,Ryan is a good bet.Great guy too.Planning on going again next year.

Captain 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!

Initially 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.

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

We 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!

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.

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!)

Captain 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!!
