Adventure Outdoors offers personal, relaxed Lowcountry fishing charters out of Isle of Palms Marina near Charleston, South Carolina, led by Captain Fritz von Kolnitz, a lifelong Charleston resident who grew up fishing the waters around Shem Creek. Fritz founded the business in 2001 with one goal: to give every guest a memorable, personal day outside on the water.
Trips run aboard a 25-foot open Pathfinder center console, comfortably fitting up to 6 guests for a private, personal experience. Every charter includes a fishing license, tackle, plenty of ice, and some bait — catching fresh live bait with Captain Fritz is often part of the experience itself, and friends and family back home can follow along in real time through his social media “Live Bait Report.” Conservation comes first on every trip, with catch and release strongly encouraged to protect tomorrow’s fishery.
Beyond fishing, Adventure Outdoors offers relaxed boat cruises meandering through salt-marsh tidal creeks, watching for dolphins, herons, egrets, and pelicans along the way. Sunset cruises are a particular favorite, with many guests choosing to bring a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board to enjoy the view as the day winds down.
Guests just need to bring food and drinks, sun protection, comfortable layers with soft-sole shoes and light rain gear, and a camera — Captain Fritz handles the rest. As he puts it, “No matter when you fish in Charleston, it is always an exciting time.”
For anglers and couples looking for a personal, deeply local fishing charter or a relaxed marsh sunset cruise out of Isle of Palms, Adventure Outdoors offers a well-reviewed, 20+ year operation with Captain Fritz von Kolnitz.
