5 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing guides are the specialists - independent pros and outfitters who focus on a specific fishery and style, from bass on a local lake to fly fishing a trout river or wading the flats. Where a charter is usually about the boat and the trip, a guide sells expertise and hands-on coaching, and typically runs a smaller, more personal operation. Day rates commonly fall around $300-600 depending on the water, target species and whether the trip is walk-and-wade or from a boat, often for one or two anglers. Many guides provide rods, flies or tackle and hold the required licensing - always ask what is included. Compare a few, read the reviews, and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the guide.

What is the difference between a guide and a charter? +
A charter generally centers on a captained boat and a set trip, often for larger groups, while a guide sells focused expertise in a specific fishery and style - bass, fly fishing, flats - typically for one or two anglers and sometimes on foot. The right fit depends on the water you want to fish and how hands-on you want the coaching.
How do I choose a fishing guide? +
Compare Google ratings and reviews, check that the guide specializes in the species and water you are after, and ask what gear is provided and what you bring. Reviews that name the guide and describe the coaching are a strong signal. Then confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the guide.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Myrtle Beach? +
Myrtle Beach charters typically run about $450-$1,200 depending on the trip. Short inshore and nearshore creek and inlet trips are the most affordable; full-day Gulf Stream runs for mahi and tuna sit at the top because of the fuel and distance. Shared party-boat seats are cheaper per person. Confirm the all-in price with the operator.
What fish can you catch out of Myrtle Beach? +
Inshore around Murrells Inlet you target redfish, speckled trout and flounder. Nearshore brings Spanish and king mackerel, and offshore trolling out to the Gulf Stream produces mahi, tuna and wahoo, with snapper and grouper on the live bottom.
When is the best time to fish Myrtle Beach? +
Late spring through fall is prime. Spanish and king mackerel show off the beach in the warm months, inshore redfish and trout stay active spring through fall, and Gulf Stream trolling for mahi peaks in summer. Weather and sea conditions drive whether offshore trips run.
