Our family recently booked a four hour inshore fishing trip with Sunshine Charters of Charleston.  We had never been on a fishing charter, but knew that we wanted to target redfish. During the booking process, I explained our fishing interests to Captain Storey.  He reached out to us prior to the trip with a meeting place and was very attentive.  He even sent a message the day before asking if we could move our trip up by 30 minutes due to barometric pressure and tides so our trip would be more productive.  On the day of the charter, he arrived at the ramp ready to go right on time.  Once we left the ramp, he put us on a fishing spot within 10 minutes.  That particular spot didn’t produce what we wanted, so he took us to the next spot.  He knew exactly where to cast at that location and before long, our oldest son had his first redfish.  We fished a few more spots and all four of us (my wife and two teenage boys) caught several redfish, Atlantic croakers, a black drum, and even a sting ray.  We caught our limit on redfish and had a great time.  Captain Storey’s boat and fishing equipment is in great shape and he was very professional and knowledgeable.  We will definitely book with him when we go back to Charleston.

We’ve been out with Captains up and down the SC coast and Stephen was by far the best we’ve fished with. Cleanest boat I’ve ever seen, and a great Captain who asked us questions to gauge our skill level before offering advice (My wife hates it when charter Captains assume she doesn’t know anything. She’s a better angler than I am.) We’ve fished a lot here in SC and I would recommend his trips for Novice to Experienced anglers alike. Thank you for a great trip!

We had an unforgettable day out on the water with Sunshine Charters of Charleston and Captain Steve! I brought my parents and my three boys (ages 6, 8, and 11), and Captain Steve made the entire experience smooth, fun, and memorable for all of us. He was incredibly patient, attentive, and sociable—truly a delight to fish with! We even saw dolphins!! What a sight to see!

Captain Steve knew exactly where to take us, and thanks to his expertise, we were able to land a big spot-tailed bass! The kids were beyond excited, and it was a moment they’ll be talking about for a long time. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or bringing along little ones for their first time, I highly recommend booking with Sunshine Charters and Captain Steve. Can’t wait to do it again!

Was in Charleston for a long weekend and my college girls wanted to try fishing.  Apparently they have seen some tiktok videos and thought it looked fun.  Steve the captain was a very nice guy and knew the waterways and fishing spots.  First place was active - for fish and bugs!  We got mauled and told him if we caught 50 fish there, and none elsewhere, we would take none!  So we left and looked for a new spot.  Hit some dry holes - last stop of the day - we just did 3 hours - we caught 2 good size fish quickly, each of my girls.  So all went home happy.  Even if we did not, appreciated Steve’s efforts and experience.

Today was a beautiful day. The sun was out all day and while temps were in the 40’s when we left the dock, it was in the 70’s by early afternoon. Unfortunately, the fish were not biting. We caught only 1 fish, that had to be thrown back because he was not long enough. Sometimes that happens. We went to 6 different places to fish, and none had fish biting. But we had a wonderful day anyway. Captain Stephen was awesome. His boat and equipment are all in excellent shape. He is knowledgeable about the creeks and tides surrounding Charleston harbour. All in all, we had a great time. I would highly recommend Sunshine Charters to anyone looking to have a fun time fishing. Cornelia and Don
