We celebrated his 40th birthday by taking him out, and we all had an incredible time catching an abundance of fish. Captain Stephen skillfully navigated to the perfect spots, providing fresh bait and even assisting my wife with her casting. We highly recommend Captain Stephen; our day couldn't have been better, as we were occupied throughout, consistently catching fish.

Steve was awesome!!! I had an absolutely fantastic time on this fishing charter. From start to finish, Steve was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. Steve made sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable, regardless of experience level. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and spacious, with everything we needed for a great day on the water. The captain clearly knew the best spots — we were catching fish in no time! Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this charter delivers an unforgettable trip. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back for another adventure!

Had a great day on the water with Captain Steve today. My wife and I came down to Charleston for a long weekend and took a chance based on all of his positive reviews. He quickly put us on fish and gave me a great experience with a large Red Fish. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure you have a great time. I would highly recommend him.

Fabulous trip! Highlight of our trip to Charleston. Captain Steve was helpful, knowledgeable, and totally fun. Caught some amazing fish.

Captain Steve was an amazing host to me and my mom. He is very knowledgeable, polite, and fun! He jumped right in to help my mom on and off the boat, making her feel very safe. He brought us to his favorite fishing spots and made us feel like pros, which we are not! Weather you’re looking for fishing or cruising the harbor, Capt. Steve is your guy.
