Come explore the depths of the Atlantic with Captain Chris out of Charleston, South Carolina. His decked out 26’ Center Console has an assortment of amenities, and the twin 150 Yamahas power you through the offshore chop. The trip has several options in terms of time and distance: you can go 12-20 miles offshore on a 6 hour trip, 25-15 miles on an 8 hour trip, or anywhere between 25-75 miles on a 10 hour, all day adventure. On this 6-10 hour, full day trip you can practice several fishing techniques. Trolling offshore allows you to sit back and enjoy the cool sea breeze and smooth ride while waiting for your reel to scream, when you know you’ve got something good! Captain Chris has extensive knowledge of these waters, and his quick decision making, backed by experience, makes him a great captain who will do his best to help you try and find fish. On this trip, you will be looking for Amberjack, Black Seabass, Cobia, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper, and Triggerfish, but who knows what else you might pull out of the depths? This trip accepts up to six guests, and Captain Chris is very accommodating to all levels of experience, which makes for a great family adventure. He will help you as much as you need, and is very communicative. This trip has the potential to be very productive since the waters off Charleston are so bountiful and Captain Chris has been fishing them for years, so prepare yourself to spend a wonderful day out on the ocean.

Our two boat trip was absolutely electric. First off, Capt. Chris' boat was perfect. For the price point, you'd be hard pressed to find a better fishing charter deal out of Charleston. The second boat in our group was equally as nice. Both boats were super comfortable, we just sat in the back on beanbags and drank beer as we raced out about 40 miles offshore. The guides gave us an in depth safety talk before taking off and took every safety precaution available, they definitely found a happy medium between fun and safety though. They were also very well informed about what was in/out of season, and the parameters for keeper fish. On first drop, we had 2 really nice red snapper hookups. Once that bite ran cold, we wasted no time, hopping around to multiple different locations, filling the cooler up with vermillion and other good eating fish. Even got a few 5+ foot sharks for the young'n that was with us. He was so stoked! We ran into a bit of weather but that didn't phase the guides, they had contingency plans to keep us busy. We elected to run deeper to avoid the thunderstorm that formed between us and the land, which meant we got a few extra hours of fishing (no complaints). The highlight of the trip was chumming up a cobia feeding frenzy right on the surface before we booked it back to the marina. Any time you can topwater fish for cobia, you're in for a treat. We almost landed a trophy cobia before a 8+ foot shark breached the surface and completely annihilated it about 20 feet off the back of the boat. It was so primal, none of us cared that we lost the trophy. I recommend these guys to anyone, beginners or lifetime anglers. Will definitely be using them again!
