Crosby Coastal Charters is a Charleston, South Carolina–based fishing charter operator offering guided inshore and ocean reef fishing trips aboard a 24’ Pathfinder bay boat.
The service focuses on light-tackle angling for regionally targeted species including redfish, speckled trout, cobia, amberjack, and various shark species. Trip durations range from short shark excursions to multi-hour inshore and ocean reef trips, with options listed at 2.5, 4, 6, and 8 hours to suit different angler goals.
Most trips accommodate up to six anglers and include tackle and licenses where noted, making bookings accessible for families, friend groups, and small private parties. Flexible departure times are used to match tide and weather conditions and optimize fishing opportunities across Charleston’s local waters.
Shark-focused trips emphasize quick photo opportunities followed by safe release practices.
