Sharks inhabit our inshore waters in the late Spring through the early Fall. These apex predators are an essential part of our estuarine and ocean ecosystems. Bottom fishing in the deep holes of the high salinity waters in the marsh, we’ll test our luck for some of the 39 species of sharks that swim in our waters. Our charters can accommodate a maximum of 6 guests. Multiple boats may be available upon request.

Come on a shelling expedition with us!

The rich coastal waters of South Carolina provide a home to more than 700 species of seashells. Join us aboard our comfortable eco tour boat as we cruise down river to a remote barrier island known for its shell laden beach. Accessible only by boat, we will land on the beach and disembark on our hunt for the more common local shells. These include whelks, oysters, angel wings, arks, augers, quahogs, cockles, jingles, pen shells, slipper shells, and South Carolina’s state shell, the lettered olive. Before getting back on the boat, we’ll pick a few of our favorites to take back home as souvenirs.
