Dang I wish I was you...
Yep, YEAH! You definitely need info from the local scene. Certain lures are the bomb in some waters if you jig 'em right.
Search Myrtle Beach online!
Immediately....
So far I found this:

I haven't checked it out all the way.
On second run-through (screw the above):

if it's anything like the Gulf, you have a lot of options. All day, does that mean you want to be out 24 hours, or just 8-12 hours? You can also find different types of charters, from 2-3 people fishers on a boat up to 50+ on some Party Charters. Obviously, the smaller charters will cost you more money.
A small private chart will probably run $450-600 for a 12 hour day trip, and you'll probably want to split that with a couple other guys.
Party boat charters will generally run about $8/hour per person. Maybe a little less. 8 hours is about $55-65. 12 hours around $75-80 etc etc.
If you've never been off-shore, I reccomend a shorter trip for the first. If you end up feeding the fish, you will be miserable until the boat docks. And, this happens to a lot of guys that don't expect it. on most charters I've been on, roughly 25-50% end up feeding the fish. I've only been sick twice, once after watching my n-laws feed the fish for about 4 hours (sympathy sickness I think), then once in Cabo. But I think that had more to do with having way too much tequila the night before. I was green when I got on the boat :-) But, I did catch a nice Dorado, or Mahi. http://www.thedreyerfamily.com/Cabo/gregmahi.JPG

follow up on gray's post. every area is different.
here in nj the charter boat i run for it's owner gets $2400.00 for 6 men for a 24 hour and $3.600. for 6 men for 36 hours to our shelfe or the canyons for big game fish. bill fish or tuna. but then we have to run 75 miles out to start hitting it.
check locally the fishing is good down there and the shelfe is closer in.
