Details

Little River, South Carolina, sits along a dynamic stretch of the Atlantic coast where tidal inlets and calm inshore waters create a prime setting for fishing and boating adventures. Tidal Inshore Fishing Charters offers a suite of tailored trips from serene sunset cruises to full-day fishing excursions, making it a standout in this vibrant outdoor community. Whether you’re chasing flounder, targeting sharks, or introducing kids to the sport of fishing, Captain Rick’s local expertise transforms each trip into a memorable day on the water.

The waterway around Little River is rich with coastal ecosystems—salt marshes, tidal creeks, and estuaries—that offer abundant natural life and diverse fishing opportunities. Anglers on a 3/4-day or full-day fishing trip find themselves dropped off at lesser-known “secret spots,” avoiding crowded fishing holes. The inshore environment here supports species like flounder, redfish, and even the occasional shark, giving visitors a variety of fish to reel in. Each trip is customized with hands-on guidance, whether it’s baiting a hook or casting just right.

Tidal Inshore’s offering extends beyond fishing, with relaxing sunset cruises that trace the Intracoastal Waterway, delivering a peaceful vantage point for wildlife watching and absorbing the coastal landscape’s natural rhythms. Families appreciate the kids’ fishing trips, where patient instruction and celebration of every catch make the outing educational and fun.

What sets Tidal Inshore apart is Captain Rick’s blend of professionalism, warmth, and deep local knowledge. Guests frequently praise his ability to navigate both the waterways and the needs of anglers of all levels. From boat condition to customer care, the experience runs smoothly and remains safe and enjoyable. For anyone in the Little River area seeking an authentic connection with South Carolina’s coastal waters, these charters offer a richly rewarding adventure.
