Tallboy Fishing Charters offers inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing charters in Beaufort, South Carolina, run by Captain Richard Pollitzer and Captain Adam Turri, both veterans of the Lowcountry charter business. Operating aboard “Tallboy,” a fully equipped 28-foot Dusky center console comfortably fitting up to 6 passengers, the team fishes out of Safe Harbor Port Royal Landing Marina — convenient to Beaufort, Port Royal, Lady’s Island, St. Helena Island, Fripp Island, and Hilton Head.

Half-day inshore/nearshore charters make up about 75% of the business, running 3-5 hours out to roughly 3 miles and perfect for guests who just want to bend a rod and have a good time. 3/4-day (6-hour) charters offer more range for both nearshore and offshore fishing, while full-day charters push 15-40 miles offshore for 7-10 hours, aimed at guests chasing serious blue-water quality table fare. The crew will literally fish for anything that’s biting and customizes every trip to match the group’s goals, giving an honest report on conditions up front, including a straightforward “the bite is slow” when that’s the truth.

Rates run $550 for a 3-hour inshore shark fishing charter, $700 for a 4-hour inshore/nearshore trip, $850 for 5 hours, $1,000 for a 6-hour offshore trip, $1,200 for a 7-hour Cobia/King Mackerel offshore trip (4-person max), and $1,500 for a full 8-hour offshore day (4-person max), all covering up to 6 passengers except where noted. Rates include everything but food, beverage, and the customary 20% gratuity; a Hilton Head pickup is available for an additional $150.

For anglers looking for a flexible, honest, and well-equipped fishing charter around Beaufort, Port Royal, and Hilton Head, Tallboy Fishing Charters offers a highly reviewed operation with Captains Richard Pollitzer and Adam Turri.
