About this tour

Set out from Myrtle Beach for a classic headboat fishing trip, where the open water, fresh air, and shared excitement make the day part of the catch. Choose a half-day outing or spend longer offshore on the Gulf Stream option, with fishing gear provided for both experiences.

The 4.5-hour half-day trip offers an easy introduction for beginners and families. Cast for bottom species such as sea bass, porgies, flounder, and sharks, with no previous fishing experience required. For a full-day adventure, travel 40 to 50 miles offshore toward the Gulf Stream. The ride takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, giving you time to settle into the enclosed cabin or take in the view from the deck. At the fishing grounds, possible catches include snapper, grouper, large sea bass, and triggerfish, with occasional king mackerel, cobia, amberjack, and dolphin.

Rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing coverage under the vessel's license are provided. Bring snacks and drinks in a small cooler, plus motion sickness medication if needed. Choose your Myrtle Beach headboat fishing trip and enjoy a day shaped by the sea, the company, and whatever bites.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Myrtle Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 24% in Myrtle Beach means it ranks in the top 24% of tours in Myrtle Beach by this score.
