With years of experience fishing these waters, Captain Steven knows the local fishery inside and out. With over 30 years of fishing experience worldwide, he has fished in the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, as well as along the U.S. East Coast, from Ocean City, MD, to the Outer Banks, and now Charleston, SC. His expertise ensures an unforgettable fishing experience.
Shark Quest LLC Charleston offers land-based shark fishing charters on select days, giving you the chance to battle some of the ocean’s top predators without stepping foot on a boat.

If you don’t see your preferred date or time available, just send us a message—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. For added convenience, we offer free ground transportation for up to three people in our trusted vehicle, the "Vanimal."
Depending on the season, you could find yourself facing off against Thresher Shark, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Lemon Shark, Leopard Shark, Tiger Shark, Mako Shark, and more. Each trip is a true test of strength, skill, and patience, with catch and release as our priority to ensure the safety of both the angler and the sharks.
We provide all the necessary gear, including heavy spinning and conventional reels, rods, tackle, and bait, so you don’t have to bring anything except your enthusiasm. Whether you’re an experienced shark angler or trying it for the first time, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Families are welcome, making this an exciting adventure for all ages. Safety is always our top priority, both for our clients and the fish we catch.
Before heading out, you’ll need to purchase a local fishing license, which is easily available online or we can assist with the details.

Absolutely incredible experience! The crew was professional and had everything set up perfectly. The drone deployment was amazing to watch, and within an hour, we had our first big bite. Landed a 6-foot Blacktip Shark after an intense fight. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a serious fishing challenge!

Our group had an amazing time! The guide was super knowledgeable and made sure we were set up for success. Caught a Bonnethead Shark right off the bat, and later, we hooked into a Bull Shark that gave us a real fight. Fishing under the stars was an awesome experience, and we’ll definitely be back!

This was my first time shark fishing, and it did not disappoint! The setup was seamless, and the crew explained everything so well. The highlight of the night was hooking a 7-foot Lemon Shark—it was an absolute beast to reel in! If you're looking for something different and exciting, this trip is worth every penny.

What an epic fishing trip! The drone bait drop was a game-changer, and within minutes, we had sharks circling. I landed a Leopard Shark, and my husband fought a Hammerhead for over 30 minutes before we safely released it. The guides truly know their stuff, and everything was handled with care for both us and the sharks.

One of the best fishing trips I’ve ever been on! The crew was top-notch, and the thrill of fighting a Mako Shark from the beach was unreal. We had multiple hookups throughout the night, and the adrenaline was nonstop. If you’re a serious angler or just want a unique experience, don’t hesitate to book this trip!
