7 fishing captains from Charleston County are among the best in the world!

Every quarter, FishingBooker, the world’s largest platform connecting anglers and fishing guides, announces its Angler’s Choice Award to account for the seasonality of the fishing business. This exclusive recognition acknowledges charter operators for their exceptional customer service, reliability, and quality of fishing trips. Notably, some captains demonstrate consistent excellence across multiple seasons. 

This is the first time that special recognition is given to guides who have won the award three times in a row. 

Out of 7,242 captains who partner with FishingBooker, only 576, or 8%, were recognized for their excellence 3 times – and 7 of them run their trips from Charleston County!

What’s more, is that 11.6% of all captains in Charleston County on FishingBooker got this special annual Angler’s Choice recognition – 7 out of 60. This showcases the outstanding performance of these captains, placing them well above the national average.

Vukan Simic, CEO of FishingBooker, says: “We’ve been awarding the Angler’s Choice Award since 2015. In October 2022, we started releasing the award quarterly with tougher criteria than ever before. We wanted to recognize and honor our most committed captains, and to make it easier for anglers to identify the very best guides on our platform.

Now, we have the pleasure of recognizing a very special group of guides who have earned the award every single time since the new version was introduced. We couldn’t be more excited to honor them for their hard work and dedication.”
