Emplacement
Scenic coastal waterways
La description
Charleston sits along the scenic coastline of the Southeastern United States in a region known as the Lowcountry, an area celebrated for its remarkable biodiversity and abundant wildlife.
The Lowcountry's ecosystem is a dynamic blend of saltwater and freshwater habitats that merge and shift with the tides. This ever-changing environment creates unique interactions between inshore and offshore species as they share and compete for food, shelter, and space.
Your experienced captain will guide you through Charleston's coastal wetlands and out toward the barrier islands that protect the harbor and mainland from the winds and tides of the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, you'll enjoy an up-close, firsthand look at one of the Southeast's most spectacular natural environments.
Pick up at Shem Creek park
Pick-Up & Drop-Off Location
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.
Arriving at Shem Creek Park
Shem Creek Park is a public park, so please be respectful of the space and other visitors enjoying the marsh walk and docks.
The park offers:
Free parking
Air-conditioned public restrooms located near the entrance to the Marsh Walk and boardwalk
When you arrive, park in the spaces immediately to your right. From there, walk along the boardwalk toward the creek until you reach the second gazebo.
Your captain and boat will be waiting at the floating dock directly below the second gazebo.
Getting Here
Approximately 20 minutes from downtown Charleston
Approximately 10–15 minutes from Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island
The boardwalk extends several hundred yards through the marsh to a fishing pier and floating dock on Shem Creek, where your charter will depart.
We pride ourselves on providing clear communication throughout your experience. If you have any questions before your trip or need assistance finding the boat or loading passengers, don't hesitate to contact us—we're happy to help.
