Take the chance to get out and explore the area by trying your hand at fishing, learning new things about the natural world around us or simply enjoying a beautiful sunset. This directory highlights some of the many options for boat rentals, fishing charters, excursions, tours, transportation and boat clubs that are available in the East Cooper area.

If you want to experience a day on the water without the hassle of owning your own boat or the commitment of a boat club, consider doing a half-day or full-day boat rental.

There’s a reason people call it ‘fishing’ and not ‘catching.’ If you’d rather be catching, put your trust in the professionals. Many of these charter captains have spent their lives plying Lowcountry waters. They know the fish better than the fish know themselves – the secret spots, the best bait and rig for certain species and what is biting and when. These excursions offer great experiences for small groups, families and more. Beyond the rod, plenty of charter captains are happy to take your small group on other adventures like dolphin tours, sunset cruises, shark tooth hunting and shelling. Find a captain that suits your style, and the world is your oyster!
