PAYMENTS & CANCELLATIONS

All charters are weather permitting and will be up to the Captain’s discretion if the trip needs to be rescheduled. All bookings require a 30% deposit to secure the date. This deposit is non-refundable once within 30 days of the booking date. Requests to change a trip date are subject to availability and may not always be accommodated. Any cancellations by the customer within 48 hours of the booking date or no-shows on the charter date will result in a charge of the full balance of the trip.
Full trip balance can be paid the day of the charter with cash, check, or Venmo/Zelle.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Each fishing charter comes with an experienced and friendly captain, along with the required South Carolina saltwater fishing license, fishing gear, ice, water, and non-alocholic beverages.
WHAT TO BRING & NOT TO BRING
When preparing for your fishing trip, remember to bring along essentials such as polarized sunglasses (important for sight fishing!), shoes with non-marking soles, hat, sunscreen, cold weather clothing if needed, and snacks and/or lunch for full day charters.
However, please refrain from bringing glass bottles, liquor, drugs, GPS devices, or spray sunscreen. Additionally, ensure that any coolers brought aboard are of a reasonable size to allow ample space for food and drinks, as larger coolers may be difficult to accommodate on the boat.
MEETING LOCATION
All fishing charters will launch from St. Johns Yacht Harbor unless otherwise discussed. This is a convenient launch point for anglers coming from Charleston, Kiawah Island, or Folly Beach.
