There's fun to be had by all, both young and the young at heart, who are drawn to the water here in Myrtle Beach.

Whether you're looking to buy a boat or jetski, spend an afternoon or evening in international waters aboard one of the Las-Vegas-style Casino Gambling Boats docked in Little River, take a charter fishing trip along the coast or to the Gulf Stream, rent a boat, pontoon or jetski for and hour (or the afternoon), or take a leisurely dinner cruise down the Intracoastal Waterway, you'll be happy to know you'll find it all in Myrtle Beach.

Buying a Boat in Myrtle Beach

For those of you looking to buy a boat, be sure to stop at Captains' Choice Yacht Sales in Little River. All of their brokers are US Coast Guard licensed Captains familiar with a large array of boats and yachts. They not only have the ability to help you sell or purchase a yacht but will also take care of the financing, detailing, delivery and a host of other services you may need. If they don't have the boat "You" want, their mission is to find the perfect boat for "You". Headed by Dee Rack, one of the nicest boat brokers we've ever had the pleasure to deal with.

Casino Gambling Boats in Little River

If you're looking for some Las-Vegas-style gambling while on your Myrtle Beach vacation, you'll find it aboard one of the casino boats docked in Little River. These "cruises to nowhere" sail to international waters, where it's legal to gamble, before opening the tables or turning on the machines.

Lunch and dinner buffets are inexpensive and fairly tasty, and live entertainment is usually provided for free, along with motion-sickness tablets for anyone who's a bit queazy.

The boats usually leave twice a day, at noon and 7 pm, for several-hour gambling trips out at sea.

Keep in mind that, due to political opposition, these controversial cruises are under constant threat of being shut down so you should always double-check before heading to the dock for the day or night.

Fishing Boats on the Grand Strand

At the north end of the Grand Strand, Little River has been home to fishermen for generations... and for good reason. Some of the largest and most prized fish can be caught off the coast of South Carolina.

The local fishermen work year-round, commercial fishing in the winters (catching and selling their catches to various restaurants and wholesale shippers), and charter fishing in the warmer weather. The captains and crews charter parties and help their guests haul in large catches, who usually take the fish home to their families.

There are different types of charters in Little River, and you should know what type suits you before planning your trip. There is party boat fishing, which takes individuals and large groups out, and there are private charters for the serious fisherman, which usually averages 6 fishermen per boat. The length of fishing trips varies, too. There are half-day trips, usually running 7 am - noon or 1 pm to 6; full day trips, usually running 7 am to 3 pm, and gulf stream trips, usually running 7 am to 6 pm. Special requests, such as night fishing, are also taken by the local charterfishermen.

The most common fish caught during these trips is black sea bass, snapper, grouper, larger sea bass, trigger, dolphin, wahoo, and king makerel.
