We’ve come Full Circle!

Coming full circle in life is a powerful realization. It's that moment when you realize that everything you've been through, every decision you've made, and every challenge you've faced has led you to where you are today.

That realization happened for our family on April 10, 2023, the day Full Circle was reborn with the purchase of “Ma Sheila.”

In 2013, we set out to start a business that offered locals and visitors an extraordinary fishing experience aboard a truly unique vessel with the purchase of our first boat, a 33-foot Custom Carolina Fish Around named “Full Circle.” What happened over the next decade was a series of unbelievable setbacks and tribulations that tested our patience and passion for this industry. We could have given up many times. But we didn’t.

Fishing and boating are in our DNA. It has been for generations, and we didn’t let the hurdles stop us from moving forward. Despite turbulent waters, we pushed ahead and now understand what it truly means to come full circle.

We are proud to share that in 2022, our small business started to come back to life with the purchase of “Gettin’ There,” - a 20-foot SeaCraft. This boat was the perfect motivator to get back in the game and a reminder that perseverance will help you accomplish your goals. Then in April 2023, we purchased our third vessel, “Ma Sheila,” a 37-foot custom 1993 Billy Knowles Walkaround that was completely refurbished from stem to stern in 2019. She is powered by twin 380hp Cummins engines and spins on a dime.

If you're looking for a top-notch fishing charter experience in or around Charleston, South Carolina, look no further. Our experienced and passionate crew now has the vessels we need to offer a variety of offshore, inshore, and nearshore fishing charters. So whether you're a seasoned fisherman or a beginner just dipping your toes in the water, we've got you covered.

For those seeking a deep-sea adventure, our offshore trips will take you to the hottest fishing spots in the open ocean, where you can reel in big game like tuna, marlin and mahi-mahi. But if you prefer to stay closer to shore, our inshore trips will take you to the local estuaries and marshes, where you can hook redfish, speckled trout and flounder.

And if you're looking for a fishing trip that's somewhere in between, our nearshore trips are perfect for those who want to catch a little bit of everything. You'll have the chance to reel in various species, including sharks, Spanish mackerel and cobia.

Our fishing charters aren't just about catching fish. They are also about creating unforgettable memories. Our experienced guides will take you to some of the most scenic spots in Charleston, where you can soak in the natural beauty of the Lowcountry while you reel in your catch.

So if you're ready to cast your line and make some memories, book your fishing charter today, and let’s go fishing!
