Beaufort Fishing Charters & Boat Tours

Also Serving Port Royal, plus Saint Helena, Fripp, Hunting, and Harbor Islands

Committed to Making Sure You Have a Great Day on the Water

Join our friendly, native captains for a day of fun on the water in the beautiful Sea Islands! With a fleet of three clean, safe, comfortable boats, we offer a huge variety of inshore, nearshore, offshore and family-oriented fishing charter experiences from 2 to 12 hours, plus non-fishing tours and cruises to explore secluded barrier island beaches, observe birds and other wildlife, interact with wild dolphins, visit famous Monkey Island, or just kick back. Trips depart from Beaufort, Port Royal, Saint Helena Island, Fripp Island, Hunting Island, or Harbor Island.

Every trip is tailored to your group’s interests, age range, and experience level. We love getting kids hooked up on their first saltwater fish just as much as putting skilled anglers on tailing reds in the marsh or chasing billfish 40 miles offshore. That commitment to making sure you have a great day on the water — whatever it might look like for you — shows in our straight 5-star ratings.

Let’s go bend a rod!

Why Charter with Us?

Native Captains — Capts. Tommy Buskirk and Scott Willard are Beaufort natives who have been exploring and fishing our waters since they were kids. We love this place, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to share it with friends new and old.
Family Friendly — We love taking kids on the water. That doesn’t mean we don’t also like “serious” fishing, but at the end of the day we get just as much satisfaction from cheering on a kid as she reels in her first fish as we do from hauling a 65-pound wahoo over the rail.
Great Boats — Our fleet of three meticulously maintained and fully equipped center console boats from 22 to 28 feet allows us to do everything from stalking redfish in shin-deep water to chasing pelagics in the blue water of the Gulf Stream.
Five Star Service — Charters aren’t cheap, and we take great pride in making sure everybody we take out has a great time on the water and steps onto the dock feeling like they had every dollar's worth of fun. Our 5.0 star Google rating reflects our commitment to great service.
Custom Trips — We know everybody’s best day on the water looks different. For one guest, it might be going all-in chasing monster fish. For another, it might be filling the cooler with speckled trout for a fish fry. And for another it might be visiting a secluded beach, or learning to shrimp, or spotting a life-list shorebird. Just let us know what your best day looks like, and we’ll do everything we can to make it happen.
