Meet Your Captain
Joseph
Christy
A born-and-raised Charlestonian, Captain Joseph Christy has fished these creeks, harbors, and barrier-island flats since before he could drive a truck. The Lowcountry isn't a destination he moved to — it's home water, and every tide tells him something a transplant guide spends years trying to learn.
With an intimate knowledge of local tides, seasonal patterns, and the best-kept fishing spots from the Charleston Harbor to the barrier islands, Captain Joseph ensures every trip is an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a seasoned angler or casting a line for the first time, you're in expert hands.

“Captain Joseph runs an incredible trip. From planning and communication to preparation and execution, everything was seamless. This was my fourth charter since relocating to the area, and hands down the best. I'll be booking again—both for clients and family. Highly recommend Palmetto Tide Charters.”

“Had a great time with Capt Joe despite bad weather conditions. I'm a lifelong fisher and took my girlfriend and her 11 yr old daughter who is just discovering fishing. She had a perma grin the entire time and caught trout, flounder, sheepshead and a few others. Pretty sure this trip cemented her passion for fishing.”

“We had an amazing morning on the boat with Captain Joseph! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. The fishing was incredible—we caught plenty of red drum and stayed busy the entire trip. Would absolutely book again!”
