Charlie King

First Captain

Master — 3,000-Ton Uninspected Fishing Vessel

100-Ton Inspected Master

Charlie King didn't choose the water — he was born into it. Growing up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, he spent his childhood sailing and fishing the same Atlantic waters that shaped generations of New England mariners. That early passion turned into a lifelong calling.

Over a 35-year career as a licensed captain, Charlie has logged time on some of the most demanding waters in the world. He migrated to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, running commercial fishing vessels in pursuit of salmon, Alaska Pollock, and cod — work that demands seamanship, patience, and deep respect for the sea.

Holding both a 3,000-ton Uninspected Fishing Vessel license and a 100-tonInspected Master license, he brings a level of experience and credentialing that fewcaptains can match.

Now retired from commercial fishing and newly settled in the beautiful Charleston area, Charlie is ready to share his passion with you. Whether you're an experienced angler or stepping aboard for the first time, you're in the hands of someone who has spent a lifetime reading the water.

When he's not on the helm, you'll find Charlie admiring a well-kept wooden boat or soaking up everything the Lowcountry has to offer — and he wouldn't have it anyother way.
