Welcome aboard The Captain's Report 🎣 — a new show featuring real charter fishing captains out of Murrells Inlet & Myrtle Beach, SC. In this premiere episode, the crew introduces themselves, shows off the new mobile studio (aka "the Sardine Machine"), and celebrates America's 250th birthday with their wildest 4th of July boating stories, including a runaway 105-foot head boat stuck in the middle of a boat parade and a Coast Guard water balloon fight that ends with a busted windshield.
If you love fishing charters, boat life, and the unfiltered side of the charter fishing industry, you're in the right place. New episodes are filmed live from the MIFC Shack on the Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet, real captains, real stories, nothing scripted.
