Chris Howell, Captain at Hard Corps Fishing Charters

Hard Corps Fishing Charters is an experienced, professional fishing charter service that will take you on the best adventure possible. Captain Chris Howell has fished these waters for over ten years and is happy to share his expertise with customers looking for a fishing charter.


You’ll head out on Captain’s 23’ Sea Fox center console boat, a safe and reliable vessel that can carry up to four anglers per trip. It is equipped with a 200-horsepower Yamaha engine and will take you to South Carolina’s best fishing grounds. On board, the boat is a toilet for your convenience and a wireless trolling motor that will allow you to sneak up on easily-spooked fish.


On your trip, you will likely be using techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, and bottom fishing for some species of fish; trolling, or big-game fishing for other types. Captain Chris tailors every trip to your needs. Tell him what you want from the excursion and he’ll do his best to ensure it happens!


Murrells Inlet and its surrounding waters are home to a variety of species, including king mackerel, cobia, and sea basses—depending on the weather and time of year. All fishing gear is included in the price of your trip, and the captain will provide any licenses you need. We will supply you with snacks and drinks during the journey, but feel free to bring your own if that is more convenient for you.


Visit Hard Corps Fishing Charters and experience the beautiful nature of South Carolina!

We had an amazing time fishing with Captain in Murrells Inlet! He put us on some fish and even played my son's favorite praise music! We’ll definitely charter with this great Christian company next time we’re in that area. They get all 5 ⭐️’s from us!
