Myrtle Beach Guide Service offers private fishing charters specializing in shallow water sight fishing, saltwater fly fishing, and inshore and nearshore fishing throughout the Myrtle Beach area, led by USCG-certified Captain Jordan Pate, who has a lifetime of experience fishing these waters. The surrounding saltwater fishery offers year-round options for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead, with Tarpon, Sharks, Cobia, and Flounder joining in the warmer months.
The business runs a 3-boat fleet suited to different fishing styles: the 25′ Hoog Center Console, a recently restored “Deep V” style boat offering the most comfortable ride in the fleet, capable of fishing up to 30 miles offshore as well as jetties, inlets, and bays; the 23′ Sportsman Tournament Bay Boat, the most versatile boat with nearshore and shallow water capability, built for serious fishermen with Yamaha, Garmin, Minn Kota, and Powerpole equipment and a 250 HP Yamaha SHO reaching remote grounds around Winyah Bay quickly; and the 18′ X18 by Xplor Boatworks, a shallow water predator best equipped for fly fishing and small groups sight fishing redfish in the shallows.
Beyond standard fishing charters, the business offers Tarpon Fishing (summer/fall), Fly Fishing, Flounder Fishing, Surf Fishing from remote barrier islands (the only Myrtle Beach charter offering this), Shark Fishing, Cast-n-Blast (marsh hen hunting paired with redfish in fall), Fly Fishing Instruction, Eco-Tours/Dolphin Watching, and Plantation River Tours through historic rice plantations with alligators, bald eagles, and other wildlife. The area fished stretches from Santee Delta and McClellanville up through Murrells Inlet, Georgetown, Pawleys Island, and Myrtle Beach itself.
18′ Flats Boat (shallow water/fly fishing) rates run $550-$950 for 4-8 hours; 23′ Bay Boat and 25′ Center Console (inshore/nearshore) rates run $600-$1,000 for 4-8 hours, both for 2 people ($50 each additional angler, max 4 adults, gratuity not included).

Every trip includes a South Carolina saltwater fishing license, quality rods and reels (St. Croix, Shimano, Penn, Abu Garcia), a cooler with ice and water, photography, and fish cleaning if needed, with no extra charge for kids under 16.
