About Us
Bare Bones Charters, LLC
My name is Ernie Ashley and I am a USCG Licensed Captain with a lifetime of boating and fishing experience. My goal is to give the customer a unique view of the South Carolina Low Country's Ace Basin and surrounding waters. This area is teaming with wildlife and with a little luck we should be able to catch a glimpse of the creatures that call these waters home.
Private Eco-Tour
Our standard charter offers an experience for up to 6 passengers.
3 HR Private Eco-Tour: $400 for up to 6 passengers.
Tours depart from Eddings Point Landing on St. Helena Island. Our normal route takes us into St. Helena Sound near Morgan (Monkey) Island, into the ICW, and North to the Ashepoo, Combahee, and South Edisto Rivers. The route could vary based on the travel and feeding patterns of the local wildlife.
