Myrtle Beach Fishing Charter Prices & Trip Costs
Planning a fishing trip should not require guessing what the charter will cost.
This page is the main pricing resource for North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters and shows our current published prices for private Inshore, Nearshore, Shark, Offshore, Deep Sea, Gulf Stream, Eco & Dolphin Tours, and private Fishing Instruction.
Fishing charter prices vary because the trips themselves are very different. A four-hour Inshore trip in protected coastal water does not require the same boat, operating time, range, equipment, or planning as a 12- or 14-hour Gulf Stream trip.
All fishing charters are private for your group. Some trips have one base price for a set number of guests, while others have additional-person pricing above the base passenger count.
Local Experience and Regional Background
The coastal waters from Myrtle Beach through Brunswick County are shaped by inlets, estuaries, nearshore reefs, and a gradually sloping continental shelf. This geography creates a wide range of fishing opportunities within short travel distances.
North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters has operated in these waters since 1991. The company is locally owned and operated and led by Captain Keith Logan, who brings more than 40 years of hands-on local fishing experience. That longevity matters in a region where tides, wind patterns, and seasonal migrations change how and where families should fish.
Private family tours in this area are not about chasing extremes. They are about understanding conditions, adjusting expectations, and selecting locations where consistent action and comfort align.

Inshore light-tackle fishing, Nearshore trolling, Shark Fishing, Offshore fishing, Deep Sea bottom fishing, and Gulf Stream trolling use different equipment and techniques.
Are Fishing Charter Prices Per Person or Per Boat?
The published prices are private-trip prices for the specified number of guests.
However, some trips increase in price as the number of passengers increases.
- 4-hour Inshore pricing changes at 4, 5, and 6 guests.

Fishing Charter Deposits & Cancellation Terms
Deposit
A 15% deposit plus applicable fees is required to reserve a charter.
Cancel 14 Days or More Before the Charter
The deposit is refundable, although applicable processing fees may still apply.
Cancel Less Than 14 Days Before the Charter
The deposit is non-refundable and a $50 cancellation fee applies.
No-Show
A party more than 45 minutes late without contacting the captain may be considered a no-show and charged in full.
Should You Tip Your Fishing Captain or Crew?
Gratuity is not included in the published charter price.
A
20% gratuity is customary in the charter-fishing industry for good service, although the final amount remains your decision based on the service and experience provided.
Does a Longer Charter Mean Better Fishing?
Not necessarily.
A longer trip provides more time and, depending on the fishing category, additional range. That does not automatically make it the best trip for every group.
Consider:
- Who is fishing
- Children’s ages
- Fishing experience
- Desired time on the water
- Comfort with open-ocean conditions
- Seasickness concerns
- Fishing style
- Budget
A family with younger children may get more value from a 4-hour Inshore charter than a 12-hour Offshore trip. An experienced fishing group may prefer the opposite.
Large Group Fishing Charter Pricing
Large groups sometimes require an appropriate higher-capacity vessel or multiple coordinated charter boats.
The best setup depends on:
- Total number of guests
- Fishing type
- Trip length
- Vessel capacity
- Captain availability
- Number of boats required
Do not book multiple boats independently if you are trying to organize one large group. Contact us first so the boat and captain requirements can be coordinated.
