Looking for an adrenaline-pumping offshore fishing adventure? Then look no further than Charleston, SC – home to some of the best fishing in the world! A 10-hour, full day, offshore fishing trip is the perfect way to experience everything this amazing coastline has to offer. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice, a trip aboard with Captain Johnston will be an unforgettable experience. He specializes in offshore fishing, and will make sure to put you on the fish. On this trip, you'll hone in on Sailfish, one of the top pelagic sportfish species in the Atlantic. These fish are world-famous for their fighting ability, beautiful colors, and taste! Sailfish travel thousands of miles hunting squid, baitfish, ballyhoo, and more, and when they hit your line, you'll feel it! To attract these fish, Captain Johnston will be trolling a variety of baits and lures, but as soon as that rod bends, it's all you! Bring your A-game, because these hard-fishing gamefish will test your skill, strength, and stamina. Generally speaking, Sailfish are a catch-and-release species, so bring a camera to record your trophy! There's also opportunities for White Marlin, which share their habitat with Sailfish and love going after similar prey. You'll be aboard Captain Johnston's 35' Everglades center console with a capacity for 6 anglers. Powered by three 300 HP Mercury engines, she'll shred through the offshore waters with ease to take you where the fish are biting! This vessel comes equipped with a GPS, Fishfinder, Live Bait Well, Fighting Chair, Outriggers, and on-board Bathroom. Captain Johnston will provide all rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is a pair of sunglasses, sunscreen, and any food or drinks you might want out on the water. You should also bring a camera to record your trophy fish. Head out to the deep waters and bag a personal record! Read More

Hop aboard with Captain Brent for a fun-filled day of fishing, where you'll create memories that last a lifetime! The day will start early at the boat landing, where you'll get acquainted, then briefly go over some safety instruction and boat familiarization before getting on the water. After loading up and departing from the dock, you'll make your way out through the Charleston Harbor, where you'll see many historic landmarks including the Charleston Battery, Ft. Moultrie, and Ft. Sumter, to name just a few! Pushing out from the harbor, you'll head 10-20 miles into the Atlantic. Feel free to connect via Bluetooth to the onboard JL Audio sound system, queue up your favorite playlist, and settle in for an hour ride out to the fishing grounds. For nearshore trips, we will do some bottom fishing/reef fishing, targeting the likes of Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Barracuda, and more! You are welcome to get as involved as you would like, whether you'd rather lounge until the reel starts screaming, or keep your hand on the rod the whole time. Captain Brent can make it happen! Beyond superior service and luxurious amenities, Captain Brent also provides the best rods, reels, tackle, and bait you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Bottled water is provided as well as plenty of ice to keep your catch, food, and beverages cold. It is recommended that you bring a cooler to take fish home after the trip is over, but please leave it in your vehicle as the boat has sufficient onboard coolers and fish box storage. All you need to bring onboard is your favorite lunch, snacks, drinks, sun protection (NO SPRAY/AEROSOL SUNSCREEN PLEASE!), a towel, a camera, and good vibes! Otherwise, Captain Brent will take care of the rest to make the most of your Charleston nearshore adventure! Read More

Launch aboard Captain TJ's fully decked out 26' Center Console for a dusk-til-dawn fishing experience out of Charleston SC. Captain TJ will put all of his knowledge of fish habits, sea trends, and weather patterns toward getting you on these reef fish safely and in style! On this 12-hour trip, Captain TJ will keep you within 90 miles of the Charleston coast where you'll be going after some Amberjack, Blackfin Tuna, Cobia, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Vermillion Snapper, and Wahoo. You'll mainly be bottom fishing or trolling on this trip. Whether you want to actively fish with rod-in-hand or lounge until a reel starts screaming, just let Captain TJ know and he'll get you set up with the best method and provide some expert instruction to make sure you get one on your line! Trolling trips are great because the boat and the knowledge of your captain do the "boring" part for you. Captain TJ will drop the throttle down to a couple knots and start surveying the horizon for birds and grass lines. The grass lines can provide structure for pelagics to congregate around and birds are usually an indicator of bait on the surface! Wahoo, King Mackerel, and Mahi Mahi, are just a couple of the potential species you could catch while you're out there, and there are plenty more species the productive waters of the Atlantic can offer up! When you go bottom fishing you'll hit the reefs, wrecks, and deepwater structures for some delicious table fare that puts up a fight! On these trips, you will be using heavy tackle rods and weighted live bait or jig hooks that you'll drop down into the murky depths of the Atlantic. You can expect to hook into a variety of Snapper and Grouper species like Red Snapper, Lane Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Red Grouper and Gag Grouper, but you never know what the murky depths of the Atlantic will produce! Fishing the reefs you can also catch an occasional Amberjack, and Cobia just to name a few, and there are plenty more species the productive waters of the Atlantic can offer up! The boat you'll be fishing from is a 26-foot Mako 264. A true battle wagon designed for hardcore offshore fishing. She's equipped with twin 200 HP Suzuki engines, outriggers, VHF radio, Garmin radar, GPS, sonar satellite radio, bathroom, live wells, fishing boxes, sink, and top-of-the-line fishing equipment. Beyond superior service and a stylish ride, Captain TJ also provides the best rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Thus, all you need to bring is your favorite lunch, snack, and drink, your sun protection, maybe a towel, and your camera! Otherwise, Captain TJ will take care of the rest to make the most of your Charleston offshore adventure! Read More
