Above & Below Charters
For your next vacation in South Carolina, you’re going to want to book a trip with Above & Below Charters. Captain David is a USCG 200 Ton Master and has been fishing the Atlantic his whole life. Deep sea fishing is his specialty and he can’t wait to take your group out for an exciting day.
The day will be spent on his 38’ “Salty Mistress”, a comfortable sport fishing boat. There is plenty of space for all 6 anglers. There is a cabin for the kids to chill in during the ride out to the fishing grounds. Once the fishing starts, you’ll be grateful for the fighting chair and walkaround option – you’re less likely to lose your fish close to the boat this way!
There is also a tuna tower, giving you that extra edge over your prey, and plenty of rod holders for trolling. There is mostly Penn gear on board for you to troll with, with Penn and Shimano conventional reels. If you’d like to go spearfishing or snorkeling, let the captain know in advance – he has 1 spear gun and 1 Hawaiian sling for you to use, and equipment for snorkeling for 4 people.
Depending on the trip you choose, you can expect to target Blue Marlin, Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Wahoo, Grouper, and many more. You’ll mostly be trolling, but can do some bottom fishing if there is time on the longer trip.
Kids of any age are welcome but parents need to be with them. It’s a long trip but exciting for them! Life vests are provided.
Included in the price are top-quality rods and reels, all the bait and tackle, and ice. The fishing license for the group is also provided. You should bring a small cooler of food and drink. Beer is allowed, but should be in cans, and not too much! Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, a hat, and to wear light layers of clothing with deck shoes.
Book an epic offshore adventure with Above & Below Charters today!
With increasing fuel prices, a surcharge may apply and you will be notified by the captain prior to the trip date of the current charges.

8 Hour Trip – Wreck Fishing
Excellent bottom fishing for snapper, amberjack and triggerfish
Captain with clearly great knowledge of where to quickly find the fish and send your party home with plenty of fish. Caught plenty of vermillion snapper, triggerfish and amberjacks. Had a nice grouper but lost it to a marauding shark.

12 Hour Trip – Trolling
Lots of tacos!
What a great trip! We caught lots of mahi mahi and could easily have caught them for our whole trip. However, we wanted a variety of fish so Capitain Dave took us to some other locations. Somehow he found the fish everywhere we went. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, etc. C.J. made sure we caught as many fish as possible. Can't say enough about how great this trip was. Weather was perfect!!

Captain knows his stuff
Great experience. Captain Dave was very knowledgeable, we caught a lot of fish, and kept to the requested schedule. The boat never had an issue and we went 50 miles out to get some great catches. Definitely a fun day.

10 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing
Wow what a trip
Absolutely class act. David and his son CJ made a lasting impression for sure. Looking forward to fishing with you next time. Put us on fish all day. Had an excellent trip with a limit of vermilion snapper, several keeper sea bass, keeper trigger fish, grunts for live bait. Multiple 5’ barracuda for fun. Then there was the cobia fish of a lifetime for most.
