Your Guide to Red Snapper Season in Murrells Inlet & Myrtle Beach

Snapper Season: October 9- October 22 with a limit of 1 Red Snapper per person, per day- 20″ minimum

Whether you’re looking for a full-day offshore adventure, a smaller group experience, or a premium charter-style trip, we offer multiple ways to get you on the fish.

Choose Your Red Snapper Fishing Experience

9-Hour Red Snapper on the Head Boat

Best for: Shorter offshore trip with snapper opportunity

Fish productive bottom areas closer to shore while still having the chance to hook into red snapper during the season. A great option for anglers who want offshore action without committing to a full Gulf Stream day.

• Approximately 9 hours
• Continental Shelf fishing grounds
• Max of 78 anglers

11-Hour ‘Semi-Private’ Red Snapper on the Head Boat

Best for: Dedicated snapper focus + overall experience

Our fan-favorite semi-private trips are back for a limited time. These trips combine targeted red snapper fishing with a full offshore experience — all with a capped passenger count for more room and better access to the rail.

• Approximately 11 hours
• 40–60+ miles offshore
• Max of 50 anglers

🎣 More Than Just Red Snapper

In addition to red snapper, we’ll target a variety of other in-season offshore species in the waters offshore of Murrells Inlet and Myrtle Beach, giving you a full day of fishing action.

Additional species may include:
🐟 Grouper
🐟 Snapper (other species)

All of these trips are true deep-sea bottom fishing experiences, with the added bonus of red snapper season.
