About Your Trip

Kick off your day with an unforgettable morning fishing trip in the scenic waters of Charleston Harbor and its surrounding jetties with Captain Chris! This 4-hour adventure is perfect for anglers of all experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned pros. With the early start, you'll take advantage of prime fishing conditions as the bite heats up with the sunrise.

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Center console, powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha engines for a smooth and speedy ride. With plenty of deck space this boat is built for both serious fishing and relaxation.

Charleston’s waters are packed with action, and this trip is all about reeling in some of the area’s most sought-after species. Target trophy Bull Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Seabass, and more! You’ll also have the chance to battle fierce fighters like Bull Sharks and Bonnethead Sharks. Captain Chris will use a range of techniques—including bottom fishing, drift fishing, live bait fishing, and heavy tackle setups—to put you on the fish.

Captain Hayden provides all the gear, tackle, and bait you’ll need for a successful trip, and he’ll even clean your catch at the dock so you can take home fresh fillets. Just bring your favorite snacks, drinks (beer is welcome—just no glass), and a Bluetooth playlist to set the mood.

This trip is family-friendly perfect for anyone looking to experience Charleston’s world-class fishing as the day begins.

Except his playlist could have been more geared towards a family, not the profanity that he had on. Not a huge deal to us but you should cater towards your audience. Also the boat we were told we’d be on was suppose to have a bathroom, which we could have used.
