About Your Trip

Head out offshore for a full-day adventure aboard one of the nicest boats in Charleston Harbor. Captain Bentley's 43' Albermarle drives like a 50' Sportfish. It's fast, clean, and comfortable and comes loaded with only the highest quality fishing gear and equipment. Scroll through the pictures above to see for yourself.

Captain Bentley's full-day trips depart from Toler's Cove Marina at 5AM and run out around 35-55 miles out. This can take anywhere from 1
to 1.5 hour trip depending on seas. Once you're out there you will split your time between bottom fishing and trolling in 95 to 200 feet of water for King Mackerel, Amberjacks, Cobia, Sharks, Barracuda, Snapper, and Grouper, and much more. These trips usually have you back at the dock around mid-afternoon, with a full fishbox and great memories to boot! *Please note that these offshore trips can be heavily dependent on weather. If seas are too rough, Captain Bentley will be more than happy to take you out to the ship channel or reschedule your trip for a different day.*
