description: Discover the thrill of fossil hunting on a guided shark teeth and fossil charter to a remote, uninhabited island. This unique experience combines a scenic boat ride with a guided beach hike as you search fossil-rich shorelines for shark teeth from species such as megalodon, tiger, mako, and great white, along with marine vertebrate fossils and Ice Age megafauna remains. Trips are timed around low tide to provide the best searching conditions and may depart in the morning or afternoon. Exact start and end times vary and will be confirmed by the captain after booking.

Booking Notes
Thank you for booking with Tight Line Outfitters and we look forward to getting you out on the water soon! If you have booked a fishing trip the price includes all bait, licensing, and tackle.
Please note, while the tour time may be listed at an exact time (such as 7am or 2pm), this is to signify a morning/afternoon/evening charter only. We base our tours around the tides and weather and therefore the Captain will notify you of the actual departure time 1-3 days before your trip.
There will be a cooler onboard with complimentary water. Feel free to bring additional snacks or beverages, just no glass. To prevent the use of single use plastic I recommend bringing a large reusable water bottle. Please be sure to wear non-marking shoes. I also recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting wet, bringing layers, and bringing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (no spray sunscreen).
Unless you have arranged an alternative pickup point with the Captain, your departure location is the Folly Beach Boat Ramp. Parking is limited. Be sure to park in a regular parking spot and not in an elongated spot (or they will ticket you). We'll be reaching out again before your trip, but feel free to get in touch anytime before then with additional questions.
And please remember gratuity for the Captain is always appreciated.
