About
Hop aboard our 22-foot Sea Hunt BX Pro Bay vessel equipped with a Yamaha 250 engine to get us where we're going fast. Away from the Charleston beaches, just off the coast, you'll find shipwrecks, artificial reefs, and other structures that create an exceptional habitat for catching black drum and redfish along with other trophy species to include amberjack, false albacore, cobia, spanish mackerel, and spade fish.
Your charter will include a full eco tour about the wildlife in and out of the water as well as the rich history of the surrounding area. All anglers will leave their adventure with greater knowledge and appreciation for where they have been and what they have seen.
