Book a trip

Two options. Pick your window and we'll sort out the fishing.

Rates

A 50% deposit reserves your date and is collected at checkout. The balance is due the day of the trip.

Departure times follow the tide rather than the clock, so they move day to day. High water for each trip is shown beside it.

Included

  • All rods, reels, flies, lures and terminal tackle
  • A fully equipped Mitzi Skiff flats boat
  • Fishing license coverage under the boat's license
  • Water and ice
  • Photos from your day

Bring

  • Polarized sunglasses (the single most important thing you'll bring)
  • Sun protection: long sleeves, hat, buff, sunscreen
  • Non-marking, closed-toe shoes or bare feet
  • Food and any drinks beyond water
  • A rain shell in the cooler months

Booking and cancellation policy

Deposits

A 50% deposit is required to reserve your date. The balance is due the day of the trip.

Your date is not held until the deposit is received.

Cancellations

14 or more days before your trip
Full refund or free reschedule.
7 to 13 days before
Deposit converts to a trip credit, good for 12 months.
Less than 7 days before
Deposit is forfeited unless we are able to re-book the date.
No-show or same-day cancellation
Full charter rate is due.

Peak dates

Spring tailing tides and fall bull red season book well in advance and are difficult to refill. For these dates, the full-refund window is 30 days; inside 30 days, deposits are transferable to another date or angler but are not refundable.

Weather

The captain makes the weather call. If we cancel for unsafe conditions, you receive a full refund or a reschedule at no penalty — your choice.

Lowcountry weather moves fast, and we routinely fish productive water in conditions that look worse on a forecast than they do on the water. If you choose to cancel based on the forecast, standard cancellation terms above apply.

Rescheduling

One courtesy reschedule is available at no charge with 7 or more days' notice, subject to availability.
