Deep Sea Fishing at Myrtle Beach
Deep sea fishing at Myrtle Beach is an experience unlike any other. There are many deep sea charters that can be arranged along the Grand Strand. Each one has its own advantages for anglers who want to catch sport fish.
Some charter boats can accommodate only a few people (private charter boats), while others can carry a large number of people. Others are larger and allow you to go deep sea fishing with a large group (often called party or group boats). You should compare the different charter companies available to help you choose the right one.
The local Captains will remind you that deep sea fishing is often done offshore to the blue water, which is approximately 50-80 miles away from the coast. The travel time to the blue waters will vary depending on the boat’s size and speed. However, it should take between 1.5-3 hours to get to your fishing spot while chartering. An inshore trip is a great option for casual anglers who want to fish more often.
These are some of the things you need to consider when booking a Myrtle Beach deep sea fishing charter:

Almost all Tuna, and most Wahoo are usually 50+ miles offshore. Charter services will take you on different routes to catch different kinds of fish. This will allow you to get a better idea of how different fish are caught. You will have a better chance of catching different kinds of fish if the captain and crew are experienced.
How to Choose the Right Fishing Charter Boat
Deep sea fishing charters should have crews that you can get along with, who are respectful of your safety and make it a priority to get you on the hook. Although no Captain can stop mother nature, Captains and crew should make every effort to get you to the best spots to catch fish.
Private deep sea fishing charters in Myrtle Beach allow only your group to ride on the boat with the Captain, often along with a deckmate. You can enjoy your time together while riding to the places your Captain finds and often give everyone a better chance of catching fish.
Deep sea charters that are shared, party, or private boats will have the disadvantage of many anglers trying to catch a small number of fish. These trips cost significantly less per fisherman. A shared deep sea fishing charter is more suitable for small groups or budget-minded fishermen.
What you’ll need to bring on a trip
To ensure safety while deep sea fishing, all charter boats must have VHF radios and the required safety gear. You should only charter boats with all the safety equipment you require to enjoy your fishing adventures.
You will need to take the following items with you when you go on a deep-sea charter:
- Layered clothing is a good idea – even on hot days, the water can cool down the air.
- There were many bottles of water available for everyone in the group.
- Cash to pay your captain/tip or crew charter/tip captain
- Hat
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Camera to capture the great one

There are many options for Myrtle Beach deep sea fishing charters. They offer different lengths of fishing and differing water depths. You will need to travel approximately 50 miles to reach the deep sea, where you can fish off the Myrtle Beach coast.
When booking a charter, you should consider the travel time as well as the time spent catching fish. You will have more fishing time if you book a charter that allows you to spend more time at sea. Before you make a decision on a charter, ask how long it takes to travel and how long it takes for fishing.
