All charters and tours depart from and return to the day dock at Shem Creek Park, located at Shrimp Boat Lane, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464.
Shem Creek is one of the liveliest waterfront destinations in the Charleston area. Home to Charleston's commercial fishing and shrimping fleet, the creek remains one of the region's most vibrant and authentic waterways.
There's no better place to begin your adventure. Departing alongside working shrimp boats offers a firsthand glimpse into Charleston's rich maritime heritage and the important role the water continues to play in the local community. It's also the perfect place to end your trip, with a variety of excellent restaurants and bars just a short walk away along the scenic boardwalk.
