I was born and raised in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina and I've spent my entire life learning about the estuaries, ocean, and saltwater ecosystems. I love fishing to the most extreme and I'm all about the preservation of the saltwater wildlife! Sea Breeze Charters follows the guidelines of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the South Eastern Fishery Council and I'm a member of the IGFA (International Game Fish Association). I hope to meet you soon and exceed your expectations!

    4 Hr – Inshore Trip - 11:00 AM • 4 adults

    I scheduled this for my husband and his friends as part of his 50th birthday celebration. They had so much fun. My husband and his friends are not experts when it comes to fishing. They had so much fun. It was an amazing experience. The captain was very patient and took his time to explain the process and guide each person. Very friendly captain. They caught 2 big fish and got to keep them.

    2 Hour Trip – Shark - 4:00 PM • 2 adults • 1 child

    My son (13) & I were on vacation here for a baseball tournament and I wanted to surprise him with a fishing charter… EXCEEDED our expectations and we had the BEST time making memories, catching a shark, trout, and stingray, and also seeing dolphins and a giant sea turtle! I couldnt have asked for a better memory with my kiddo. Thank you Captain Doug and your new professional charter captain! 10/10!!! ❤️

    Best Dad Trip

    4 Hr – Inshore Trip • 4 adults

    Captain Doug was excellent. He was knowledgeable about our fishing spots and the impacts of the tide in these locations. He helped out our group by keeping our teenager engaged and teaching my two young adult children on how to cast. As a father, I was able to fish and enjoyed watching my children learn to love my hobby. Captain Doug was engaging and comfortable like he was part of our family. The only thing we could ask for was MORE CUP HOLDERS!

    Reported catch:
    Hammerhead Shark
    Bonnethead Shark
    Lemon Shark
    Response from Captain

    Ha! I agree! I definitely need to add more cup holders! 😁

    saved the day!!!

    4 Hr – Inshore Trip - 11:00 AM • 4 adults

    After having another booked trip cancel at 6:30 am the morning of our trip, Mike and Capt. Doug provided us with a last minute res. for a 4 hour trip. Capt. did a great job of trying to find us fish, caught a few but still had a great time. Capt. Doug lived on a nearby island and gave us all the local info.All in all would highly recommend this charter.

Nearshore Reefs

Jun 3, 2025 • Folly Beach
Nearshore Reefs are fantastic right now! We're catching tons of Spade Fish and Cobia right now! It's amazing how hard the Spades fight! Pound for pound, one of the hardest fighting fish out there!

Nearshore reefs!

Mar 7, 2025 • Folly Beach
As the water starts to heat up so do the nearshore reefs! Over the next few weeks we're going to see a lot of action on the nearshore on reefs. During this period, we like to use artificial lures to sight cast at Spanish Mackeral, Bluefish, and False Albacore Tuna on the surface. We also use artificial jigs to fish lower in the water column for Bull Reds, Black Drum, Weakfish, Sheepshead, Black Seabass etc. Book now while there's still time slots available!

Spadefish and Shark feeding frenzy!

Jun 10, 2024 • Folly Beach
The nearshore reefs are on fire right now. The Spadefish are hungry and pack a mean punch on light tackle! We caught over 30 spades today, along with a couple of other species! Pound for pound, they're one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean! We also ran across an insane shark feeding frenzy! Looked like some National Geographic footage! It was pretty cool!

Mar 21, 2024 • Folly Beach
We caught tons of Bonita, False Albacore Tuna, Bluefish, and Spanish Mackerel on the "Nearshore Reefs" today! The Albacore came in around noon and were absolutely everywhere! All of the fish were caught on artificial lures! Non-stop action the entire trip!
