Boating & Fishing on Seabrook Island

Seabrook Island is an oceanfront resort community bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Bohicket River, and scenic tidal creeks. Boating and fishing enthusiasts may choose from an abundance of available activities on the water.

• Are you looking for a boat ride for a couple of hours?

For those looking to experience the islands majestic waterways with a local guide may we suggest a tour with Sonny Boy Charters. Captain Brad Rumph is one of the most experienced, and delightful guides in our area. Captain Brad offers small, intimate excursions along the Bohicket River.

Most days the bottlenose dolphins are playing nearby, always guaranteed to raise a smile. It is fascinating to ride by the historic town of Rockville, where our local shrimpers are still based.  The Sea Island Yacht Club, over 125 years in operation, is along the river here too. Each year in August the yacht club hosts the annual Rockville Regatta, a summer tradition for generations of local boaters and their families.  

Captain Brad also offers private fishing charter excursions.  If you are looking for an experienced guide who knows where all the honey holes are he’s your man!  Call Sonny Boy Charters for rates and availability and visit their website here.
