How Our Private-Charter Pricing Works
All Low Country fishing charters are private. You are reserving the boat for your group—not purchasing individual seats alongside unrelated passengers.
Each trip includes a specific number of guests in its base price. Additional-person charges apply only when the group exceeds that number. Children count toward the passenger total.
Larger groups may require a higher-capacity vessel or multiple coordinated boats. Vessel and captain availability must be confirmed before booking groups larger than six.
