Heritage Fishing Charters offers inshore, jetty, and shark fishing charters along with harbor cruises out of Ripley Light Marina in Charleston, South Carolina, led by Captain Brian Finnegan. Brian has chartered out of Bohicket since 2009, after previously chartering out of Hilton Head Island, and now lives on James Island with his wife and daughter, enjoying life and sport on the water across the Southeastern U.S.
Inshore trips fish banks, oyster beds, and docks for the best shot at a productive day, while jetty trips head to the entrance of Charleston Harbor for a variety of species. Shark fishing is a summer highlight, targeting Blacktip and other species alongside Bonnethead, Nurse, Dusky, Atlantic Sharpnose, Hammerhead, and Tiger sharks. For guests wanting a more relaxed outing, a 2-hour harbor cruise takes in Charleston Harbor and passes by the historic Battery.
Every trip runs aboard a 2015 Tidewater 2400 BayMax, powered by a 250 HP Yamaha 4-stroke outboard, equipped with a 75-quart Kysek cooler, dual livewells, large fish boxes, and a T-top for shade, comfortably fitting up to 6 people.
Fishing rates run $400 for 3 hours, $500 for 4 hours, $600 for 5 hours, or $700 for 6 hours, all for up to 6 people. The 2-hour harbor cruise runs $300.
For anglers and groups looking for a straightforward, well-equipped inshore, jetty, or shark fishing charter out of Charleston, or a relaxed harbor cruise, Heritage Fishing Charters offers a well-reviewed operation with Captain Brian Finnegan.
