Waccamaw RIVER ISLAND Fishing ADVENTURES

LET'S GO CATCH SOME FISH

Leave the crowds behind and cast into adventure on our private 48-acre river island, just minutes from Myrtle Beach. This 3-hour guided trip takes you deep into the wild beauty of the Waccamaw River—where big fish, peaceful views, and unforgettable memories are waiting onshore.

WHY IS THIS SO COOL?

Private Island Vibes

You’ll fish on a secluded 48-acre private island that most people will never get to see — it’s like your own hidden fishing paradise.

Scenic Boat Ride

Cruise through the calm waters of the Waccamaw River, surrounded by towering cypress trees and Spanish moss.

Catch a Variety of Fish

You won’t be elbow-to-elbow with strangers. This is a peaceful, small-group experience with tons of space and zero stress.

More Than Fishing

Add on a kayak tour, tube float, pontoon cruise, or hang out in a treetop hideaway — it’s a full-day river retreat if you want it to be.

Fun for Everyone

Whether you're a hardcore angler, first-timer, family, couple, or group of friends, this trip is easy, exciting, and unforgettable.

Rarely Fished Waters

Cast lines in spots that rarely see anglers — a remote, untouched area with fish off the radar. It’s like your own secret fishing spot.
