Murrells Inlet is a prime destination for those seeking aquatic adventures, offering a diverse range of fishing charters and boat tours to suit every interest. Fishing enthusiasts can choose from various excursions, including inshore trips targeting species like red drum, flounder, and speckled trout in the calm waters of the inlet, or venture nearshore for king and Spanish mackerel, cobia, and various grouper and snapper species around reefs and wrecks. For a truly exhilarating experience, deep-sea and Gulf Stream charters head further offshore to pursue larger game fish such as mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo, and even marlin. Beyond fishing, boat tours provide unique ways to explore the area's natural beauty and rich history. Popular options include relaxing sunset cruises that showcase the stunning coastal scenery, educational eco-tours led by marine biologists where visitors can observe diverse wildlife like dolphins, birds, and sea turtles, and even interactive pirate adventures designed for children. Specialized tours such as full moon cruises, ghost story cruises, and Waccamaw River plantation tours further highlight the unique charm and stories of Murrells Inlet.
