When you fish a reliable and legal charter business you will not have to have a fishing license in the State of South Carolina, this will be covered under the charter companies license.
Do I need to bring food and drink on the boat for our trip?
Knot Stressed Charters will have waters along with ice on the boat, if a client would like anything other than that it is their responsibility to bring it. It can be prearranged with the captain to have you desired drinks and snacks on board at the cost of the items.
Does the charter supply all the rod and reels and bait?
The captain will have all the bait loaded on the boat before the trip begins along with the all the rod and reels you will need for the trip. It has been asked before if a client wished to bring their personal rod and reel and yes, they can do that with no issue.

Will I get sea sick on the boat?
That's a hard on to answer, for the most part clients will not get sea sick on a typical inshore fishing charter. On the other hand, if the captain chooses to go to the jetties of nearshore reef there have been occasions when clients have gotten sick. So, if your prone to getting seasick please check with the captain to see if you will be fishing in these places.
