Book your next family fun trip with Surfside Beach Charters. Captain Kevin Martin will be your guide, giving you access to his 20 plus years of sportfishing experience in this area. We strictly do State Water trips which dont go past 10 miles. On all trips you are fishing within 30 min.  Perfect for families and children. 

Depending on the season, you might hook into Black Drum, Cobia, Bull Redfish, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and who knows what else! On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Captains and crew are extremely family oriented and kid friendly! We have standard coast guard-issue life vests in adult and youth sized. You are welcome to being a ski vest or something that might be more comfortable for your child. Please bring what you want to eat and drink to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Capt. Kevin operates a 32' Glacier Bay center console catamaran with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. All fishing rods, bait and tackle are provided as well as fish cleaning.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Fishing licenses are required. When you book the trip we will send you detailed instructions on what you will need to have. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Surfside Beach Charters.

    Drum Red Fun!

    Half Day Trip – Size Matters (AM) on October 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    What an incredible fishing trip! The weather was absolutely perfect, with calm waters, clear skies, and just the right conditions for a great day on the water. The fishing exceeded all expectations, and we were fortunate enough to land several big fish throughout the trip.

    Great trip

    Half Day Trip – Size Matters (AM) on August 5, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Kevin was great. Really knew his stuff. His boat made it out to the reefs with no issues. Great staff and boat. Son was sea sick so I cut it short but the time we were out there we were on the fish right away. Will definitely be doing this again but with a prescription for some motion sickness meds for my son. All in all a great trip.

    Had a Blast

    Half Day Trip – Size Matters (PM) on April 18, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Kevin was upfront and honest about the weather and what to expect. Even though the water was a little rough he still managed to put us on some nice bull reds and gaftop cats. For alot of us it was our first bull reds catch. Both captain Kevin and Andy were on it the whole time keeping lines in the water with fresh baits and chum. Great experience and memories for our group. Will definitely book more trips with them in the future.
