Seas So Shallow Fishing Guide Service & Beaufort Guest House offers shallow water inshore fishing charters in Beaufort, South Carolina, led by Captain Steve Roll, who has fished the Carolina coast his entire life and has guided in Beaufort and the surrounding Lowcountry since 2007. Captain Steve specializes in shallow water species including Redfish, Trout, and Flounder, fishing waters like the Coosaw River and Broad River depending on wind and weather conditions.

Beyond guiding, Captain Steve and his wife Dana also operate a guest house/cottage available for booking alongside a fishing trip, giving visitors a complete Beaufort getaway package: fish for a day or two, stay in the cottage, and explore downtown Beaufort in between. Past guests have described the cottage as fully equipped, with Steve and Dana as gracious hosts who go above and beyond, from providing a local park pass to preparing homemade redfish dinners and banana pudding for guests staying multiple nights.

Guest reviews consistently and enthusiastically praise Captain Steve’s local knowledge, patience with kids, and genuine determination to put guests on fish even in tough conditions, with typical trips producing anywhere from 14 to 30+ redfish, trout, and flounder in a single outing. Many reviewers specifically highlight his easygoing personality and sense of humor as much as his fishing expertise, describing him as a seasoned captain who has earned real respect from Beaufort locals.

Trip rates depend on the number of people in the group, with a full charge applied for cancellations within 24 hours (unless the captain can rebook the slot) and no charge for weather-related cancellations initiated by the captain.

For anglers and families looking for a highly reviewed, personable shallow water fishing charter in Beaufort, with the option to extend the stay at an on-site guest house, Seas So Shallow Fishing Guide Service offers a well-established operation with Captain Steve Roll.
