Private Fishing Tours in Myrtle Beach for Every Experience Level
Fishing tours in Myrtle Beach can range from relaxed inshore trips for families and first-time anglers to full-day offshore and Gulf Stream fishing for experienced fishermen.
North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters offers private guided fishing trips for families, beginners, experienced anglers, couples, vacation groups, and larger parties visiting Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Cherry Grove, and the surrounding Grand Strand.
On this website, the term fishing tour describes the guided fishing experience, while the actual trip you reserve is a private fishing charter. Your group has the boat rather than being combined with unrelated customers.
Trips range from protected-water Inshore Fishing to Nearshore, Shark, Offshore, Deep Sea, and long-range Gulf Stream fishing. We also offer private Eco & Dolphin Tours for guests who want to explore the waterways without making fishing the primary activity.
North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters has been locally operated since 1991. Our captains use current tides, weather, water temperature, bait movement, sea conditions, seasonal fish movement, and the experience level of your group to help determine which trip makes the most sense.
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.
Which Myrtle Beach Fishing Tour Is Right for You?
The best fishing tour is not necessarily the longest trip or the trip that travels farthest offshore.
Start by considering who is fishing.
Families With Young Children
For many families, an Inshore Fishing Charter is the easiest place to start.
Protected waterways, shorter boat runs, and flexible fishing techniques make Inshore Fishing a practical option for children, grandparents, and groups with mixed experience levels.
First-Time Anglers
Beginners usually do well on Inshore Fishing trips or Nearshore Fishing Charters.
Your captain can explain the rods, reels, bait, tackle, fish handling, and techniques used during the trip.
Families Wanting More Excitement
A Shark Fishing Charter can be a good option for families, teenagers, and groups specifically interested in fighting powerful coastal fish.
Anglers Wanting More Ocean Range
Offshore Fishing Charters provide additional Atlantic range and can combine trolling and structure fishing on 6- and 8-hour trips.
Anglers Interested in Deep-Water Bottom Fishing
Deep Sea Fishing Charters focus primarily on deeper reefs, wrecks, ledges, live bottom, and other offshore structure.
Experienced Anglers Wanting Maximum Range
Gulf Stream Fishing Charters are our longest-range fishing trips and include 12-hour bottom fishing and 14-hour trolling.

Fishing Tours for Families & Beginners

Visit our
Fishing Charter Frequently Asked Questions → for detailed planning information before your charter.
How much does fishing instruction cost?
On-the-water fishing instruction is $100 per hour with a four-hour minimum. A four-hour session starts at $400.
How much does pre-trip boat and gear setup cost?
Optional pre-trip boat, gear, tackle, rigging, and electronics setup is $50 per hour with no minimum.
Whose boat do we use?
The instruction is performed on your own boat.
Why teach me on my boat instead of yours?
Learning on your boat allows the lesson to address the electronics, layout, fishing equipment, boat handling, and systems you will continue using after the instruction is over.
Do we use my fishing equipment?
Yes. Bring the rods, reels, tackle, and fishing equipment you normally use.
Can Captain Keith teach me how to use my fish finder?
Yes. Instruction can include practical sonar settings, structure interpretation, bottom changes, depth, and understanding what you see on the display.
Can Captain Keith teach me to use my GPS?
Yes. Instruction can include waypoints, routes, tracks, fishing marks, drifts, and practical navigation use.
Can I book instruction just for electronics?
Yes. Contact Captain Keith and explain the specific areas where you need help so the session can be focused appropriately.
Can I book instruction mainly for boat handling?
Boat handling, launching, loading, docking, wind, current, and low-speed maneuvering can be incorporated depending on your needs.
Can you teach me to read tides?
Yes. Tide and current interpretation are important parts of Inshore Fishing instruction.
Can you teach boat positioning?
Yes. Instruction can include positioning for casting, drifting, structure fishing, current, wind, and other fishing situations.
Is fishing instruction good for a new boat owner?
Yes. New boat owners are one of the primary groups this service is designed to help.
Is this the same thing as a fishing charter?
No. Fishing instruction uses your boat and focuses on developing your skills. A normal charter uses one of our charter boats and is focused on the guided fishing experience.
Does my boat need to be ready before Captain Keith arrives?
Yes. The vessel should be operational, appropriately equipped for the planned activity, fueled, and ready for the instructional session.
Can Offshore instruction be canceled or changed because of weather?
Yes. Offshore instruction depends on marine conditions and the capabilities of the vessel. The plan may need to remain Nearshore or Inshore when Offshore conditions are not appropriate.
Where is fishing instruction available?
Instruction can take place around Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Cherry Grove, Murrells Inlet, Calabash, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, and surrounding waters depending on the boat, conditions, scheduling, and lesson goals.
What fish can we learn to target?
That depends on the fishing type, season, conditions, and regulations. Inshore instruction may involve red drum, speckled trout, flounder, black drum, and other seasonal species. Nearshore and Offshore instruction can involve additional seasonal techniques and species.
Will Captain Keith give me fishing spots?
The primary purpose is to teach you how to understand patterns, structure, tides, electronics, and fishing conditions rather than simply provide a list of coordinates.
Will instruction guarantee that I catch fish when I go by myself?
No. The purpose is to improve knowledge and decision-making. Fish remain wild, and conditions continually change.
What information should I send before scheduling?
Send your boat make and model, approximate size, location, fishing experience, boating experience, electronics, type of fishing you want to learn, specific areas where you need help, and preferred dates.
