Simon Says Charters offers offshore, inshore, shark fishing, and harbor cruises out of Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina, led by USCG licensed and insured Captain Matt Simon. Every trip runs aboard a brand-new 2025 Twin Vee 260STX, with twin 200 HP Suzuki engines, a 30-knot cruising speed, and room for up to six passengers, giving guests plenty of space to fish and relax comfortably.
Inshore trips (3-4 hours) target red drum, trout, and flounder, starting at $450. A Nearshore Special pushes 10-15 miles offshore for sheepshead, sea bass, Spanish mackerel, and more, priced at $900. Beyond standard inshore and nearshore trips, Simon Says also runs Deep Sea Slow Pitch Jigging (full day) and Deep Sea Reef/Live Bottom Fishing (6-12 hours), targeting species like Blackfin Tuna and Warsaw Grouper from as deep as 600 feet down, along with Nearshore Wreck Fishing (4 hours) and Harbor Cruises (2+ hours) for guests wanting a more relaxed outing.
The boat is outfitted with a Minn-Kota Spot Lock trolling motor, a JL Audio stereo system, a portable toilet, and front seating for comfort on longer trips. Active-duty military, veterans, and first responders receive an extra half hour on their charter as a thank-you.
Captain Matt keeps an active fishing report blog, regularly sharing recent catches and current conditions, from Bull Reds arriving in early summer to Warsaw Grouper and Blackfin Tuna caught on deep sea trips.
For anglers and groups looking for a well-equipped, brand-new-boat fishing charter out of Charleston Harbor, whether inshore, nearshore, deep sea, or a relaxed harbor cruise, Simon Says Charters offers a highly reviewed operation with Captain Matt Simon.
