Episode Details

Charleston’s waters are getting dangerously crowded with illegal boat charters—seven shut down in just six weeks—and local captains are sounding the alarm. Passengers are falling overboard, boats are running aground, and safety is being sacrificed for profit. If you’re hopping on a boat, demand proof: a valid Coast Guard-issued captain’s credential, a certificate of inspection if over six passengers, and mandatory safety gear like life jackets, fire extinguishers, and flares. These aren’t suggestions—they’re lifesavers. And don’t forget: these illegal operators are also undercutting honest, licensed captains. Safety isn’t optional—it’s your responsibility.
