About Your Trip

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!

He fit right in with our family and was a great guide and leader! The boat rides were fun and he went out of his way to show my son's the jellyball and anything else outside of standard fishing that came up. Loved it!!

Captain Brent did an awesome job on our charter! Captain Brent is all around good people and he went above and beyond to put us on some fish! At the end of the day not only did we have a blast but we left feeling like we had made a friend for life. We will 100 percent be coming back in the future. In our opinion there’s no one better than Captain Brent out there!...

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
