Charleston, SC is home to many different species of sharks; bonnet-head, lemon shark, Atlantic sharp-nose, black-tip, sandbar shark, and scalloped hammerheads, just to name a few.
Fishing the Charleston Harbor on our action packed shark fishing trips gives you the chance to enjoy a thrilling fight by some tiny, yet some large toothy critters. Departing from the famous Shem Creek out of Mount Pleasant make these a quick trip into the Charleston Harbor, therefore maximize your fishing experience. Our fishing guides on these shark trips are equipped with top notch heavy fishing tackle ready to handle the work out.
These trips are seasonal only for the summer months (May-September); which can work out perfectly as the temperatures can be unacceptable- LOL. The two hour charters are perfect for families with young children looking for an adventure, as these audacious creatures and their bottomless feeding habits make for swift action, therefore helping create a void on those venturous attention spans.
Please take note: that there can always be the possibility that one of our larger shark friends in the 4 to 6 ft range will come along and put on an extensive fight, slightly resulting in a two hour trip to pass very quickly. This may cause everyone on larger groups to not be able to catch a fish, along with being slightly too intense for the young ones so the adults or captains help may be needed.
