RedFin Charters has the top-rated inshore, offshore, and fly fishing guides in Charleston, South Carolina, named “Best Fishing Charter” by the Charleston City Paper for 8 consecutive years running (2017-2025). Based at Seabreeze Marina in downtown Charleston, RedFin outfits a large fleet of boats with premium gear, sponsored by brands including Simrad, Mercury, Costa, Daiwa, Power-Pole, Z-Man, and Huk.

Inshore trips search the Lowcountry’s tidal waters for fighting Redfish, along with speckled sea trout, tarpon, black drum, and flounder. Offshore trips head to live bottom reefs for Black Sea Bass, Cobia, Porgies, Snapper, Grouper, Mahi, Shark, Spadefish, King Mackerel, and Red Drum. RedFin also runs group charters complete with a full tournament package for bachelor/bachelorette parties, friends, or coworkers, along with fly fishing charters, shark fishing charters, and leisure dolphin and harbor cruises for guests who’d rather explore the Lowcountry away from the crowds.

Every trip includes complimentary water, an iced-down cooler, sunscreen, insect repellent, and even cigars on request, with extra HUK rain gear available at the marina for Charleston’s notorious pop-up showers. RedFin is genuinely committed to conservation, donating a portion of proceeds to the South Carolina Aquarium’s Redfish Exhibit and partnering with Charleston WaterKeeper and Toadfish Outfitters to protect local waterways and fish habitats.

Guest reviews are overwhelmingly glowing (970 five-star reviews), with testimonials specifically praising guide Joel for being polite, educational, fun, and consistently putting guests on fish, along with the top-of-the-line boats and equipment across the whole guide team.

For anglers and groups of any skill level looking for an award-winning, highly reviewed fishing charter in Charleston, whether inshore, offshore, fly fishing, shark fishing, or a leisure cruise, RedFin Charters offers a genuinely top-rated operation.
