Set out from Bluffton with May River Excursions for a convivial, all-ages fishing charter built around groups: families, friends, and first-time anglers. The outing centers on hands-on fishing for species common to the area — from stingrays and whiting to redfish, trout and the occasional shark — with everything provided so you can focus on the rhythm of the tide and the work of the line.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Active familiesA good match: the trip is described as great for children and lets families share one boat experience.
2
First-time anglersWell suited: the charter is promoted as perfect for first-timers and includes all gear and basic support.
3
Large groups and partiesEngineered for groups — rates are calculated based on six people, the boat can carry up to 12, and additional guests incur an extra per-person charge.
4
Those wanting constant rod timeMay be less ideal: the operator notes that not everyone will have a rod in hand at one time, so continuous individual casting is not guaranteed for every participant.
