Fishing Charter + Bowen’s Island Boat Trip Near The Tides Folly Beach

May 7, 2026

If you’re staying at The Tides Hotel in Folly Beach and looking for something fun to do besides just sitting at the hotel or beach all day, an inshore fishing charter followed by a boat ride to Bowen’s Island is honestly hard to beat.

Guests staying at The Tides Hotel are only minutes from some of the best inshore fishing around Folly Beach and Charleston. Instead of running far offshore, inshore trips keep you in calmer waters around the creeks, marshes, and harbor where you can catch redfish, trout, sharks, and more while also getting to see dolphins and other wildlife along the way. Also convenient that the boat landing is a short walk from the hotel!

These trips are especially great for:

  • families with kids

  • beginners

  • couples

  • bachelor party groups

  • anyone wanting a laid-back Lowcountry experience on the water

One of the best parts is ending the trip at Bowen’s Island. After a few hours on the boat, cruising over there for seafood, oysters, drinks, and sunset views over the marsh just feels like the perfect Folly Beach evening. Pulling up by boat makes it even better since you can skip the traffic and parking altogether.

If you’re staying at The Tides Folly Beach and want to take your trip up a notch, booking a private fishing charter is one of the best ways to experience the water, wildlife, and local side of Folly Beach during your stay. Give us a call and we'll get you on the water!
