    Great Fishing Trip!

    3 Hour Fishing Charter β€’ 5 adults

    Had a great time on Sunshine Charters. This was my first time fishing with a few friends of varying experience levels. Capt Stephen was knowledgable and patient teaching the more novice fishermen, he also explained why we fished where/how we were. He was personable and gave us a great day of fishing. Boat was clean and bait was ready to go when we got there, we got a few fish and one giant! Captain Stephen is awesome, this will be the only fishing charter I use in Charleston going forward! Could not recommend him enough.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Great outing!

    Half Day Afternoon Trip β€’ 5 adults β€’ 2 children

    We (5, including 2 young boys) had a great time with Captain Stephen during afternoon 4 hour outing. He was very engaged and related well with the boys. Caught 3 nice keepers (2 reds and a black), two of which were pulled in by the boys, and a couple of rays. Some tolerable rain at the start, and a beautiful day thereafter. Captain Stephen has a new, wonderful boat, good equipment, plenty of bait, and is very knowledgeable about the area and fishing spots. Highly recommended!

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum

    First time fishing in South Carolina

    Seasonal Discounted January/Febuary β€’ 4 adults

    This was our first trip to Charleston, SC we wanted to try a fishing trip in our short visit. We weren’t sure what to expect as it was February and the temperatures were colder then usual. Captain Steve was great! Very informative about the area and the fishing. We tried several spots but due to the weather and conditions we were not successful on carching. The views and ride in the boat were wonderful. we got to see dolphins, pelcans, bald eagl and other birds. When we come to SC afain we will for sure book with Sunshine Chartes. Thank you for the adveture!!

    Response from Captain

What's biting with Sunshine Charters of Charleston in Charleston

The cooler temperatures and drop in rainfall makes inshore fishing much more enjoyable. Trout bite well this time of year, as do Sheepshead, Red Drum, and Flounder. Offshore, Tuna are still going strong.
