If you’re looking for a unique, hands-on way to experience Charleston’s coastal charm, Casual Crabbing with Tia is an adventure you won’t want to miss. Tia Clark, a Charleston native with a deep-rooted passion for the Lowcountry, started this experience in 2017 to share the city’s rich seafood traditions with visitors and locals alike.
Your journey begins at a private marina in downtown Charleston, where Tia will guide you through the art of crabbing in a relaxed and welcoming environment. You'll start by learning how to throw a cast net, set bait, and try your hand at various crabbing techniques. The experience is as interactive as you’d like—whether you're eager to dive right in or prefer to take a more laid-back approach and enjoy the scenic waterfront views.
Expect to catch a variety of local seafood, including blue crabs, shrimp, and fish. And the best part? Any legal-sized catch is yours to take home! Tia even provides recommendations on where you can have your fresh haul cooked to perfection.
All necessary equipment, bait, and refreshments are provided, so all you need to do is bring your enthusiasm and a South Carolina Saltwater Fishing License—easily obtainable online for just $10 for non-residents.
This experience is designed for everyone—families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced angler, Tia’s passion and expertise ensure that you’ll have an enjoyable and memorable day by the water. Children under two can join for free with a paid adult, and guests of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, have enjoyed this experience.
Charleston’s weather can be unpredictable, but Tia closely monitors conditions and will communicate any necessary changes. If rescheduling isn't possible due to weather, a full refund will be provided.
