Captain Stephen is great!

3 Hour Fishing Charter5 adults

we had a good day trying to catch fish, but the fish didn’t cooperate! the water in the harbor was too rough, so Captain Stephen took us on the creeks and rivers to try to entice the fish. He tried multiple stops and even helped us try longer than our trip time because he REALLY wanted us to be successful! We appreciate his efforts and friendliness!

Response from Captain

Paula Thank you for your review and your effiorts adjusting it . It certainly was a tough day out there and appreciate you and your families patience and efforts to try to get those fish to feed !!! I hope i was able to pass along some of my experience for you to carry on :)

    First time fishing in South Carolina

    Seasonal Discounted January/Febuary4 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!!

    He pulled through for us in the end!

    Half Day Trip A.M6 adults

    Me and my groomsmen booked this charter for my bachelorette trip trusting the previous reviews, and they were all spot on. Stephen knows his stuff. He taught the novice fishermen how to fish and everyone caught on really quick. It took a while for the fish to start biting, but when they did, they were putting up a fight. I strongly recommend booking Stephen from Sunshine Charters of Charleston!

    Great Fishing Trip!

    3 Hour Fishing Charter5 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.

    Great outing!

    Half Day Afternoon Trip5 adults2 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!
