Pirates Life 4 Us Fishing Charters
Pirates Life 4 Us Fishing Charters offers child and family-friendly fishing trips in the beautiful inshore waters of the Emerald Isle and Swansboro area. Fish for Red Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, with trip times and durations to suit you.
Captain Tim runs every trip with a focus on fun and learning how to bring in fish all by yourself. He aims to provide not just great fish, but great memories and skills which will stay with you for the rest of your life!
You will be fishing aboard a 24' Bay Rider center console, freshly-built in 2019. The boat can carry six anglers safely and can reach speeds of 52 knots on the way to the fishing grounds.
But the thing that makes Pirates Life 4 Us special isn't the boat, it's the crew. Capt. Tim runs a family charter business. He works with his kids on most charters, and he's proud of it. Getting children involved in fishing, seeing their faces as they haul in their first fish, passing on the skills to make them great anglers – these are the things he loves about his job.
Every trip is built for the group at hand. If you're all seasoned sportfishers, he and his crew will work hard to bring in a real record-breaker. Out with friends or with the family, and just looking for some easy catches? He'll get you reeling in fish after fish and having a great time doing so!
Captain Tim gets a brand new motor every 5 years, and this year he got a new Yamaha 250 SHO engine!
Whatever you're after, Capt. Tim has you covered. All tackle, baits, lures, and licenses are included. So jump aboard and get ready for an action-packed day of fun inshore fishing!

I booked this trip to learn more about the area, where/how/when to fish it and just to overall catch some fish. Captain Tim delivered on all of the above! My two adult kids and I had an absolute blast. Although we didn’t catch a ton, we learned a LOT! Captain Tim is super patient, truly knowledgeable and an all around great guy. Beautiful day, great boat and Captain… who could’ve asked for more? I’m already looking forward to the next time we can run out and use some of our new found knowledge to slay ‘em!
We had such an amazing time with Captain Tim yesterday! His boat was so nice, clean and comfortable. He was knowledgeable about the area and gave great tips to make sure we caught some fish. We were able to catch some spanish mackerel which was exhilarating every time a “fish was on”. Captain Tim wanted to make sure that my son was having fun at all times and I truly appreciate him for that. He showed both my husband and my son proper fishing techniques and answered each and every question we had. We made some awesome memories together as a family and I am grateful for Captain Tim for that. We will be booking with him again. Oh just be prepared for some corny dad jokes 😂

My son and I had a great time. Captain Tim is one of those guys you want to go fishing with. He is a life long resident of the area, he was great with my son and i know he is good with kids just watching and listening to him. We caught fish and made some great memories! Thank you
Captain Tim was a lot of fun and very good teacher. By the end of the day my 15 year old son and I were better fisherman than when we started. We got a lot of bites early, but couldn't bring many in. We flew across the sound trying a ton of great spots. Our fishing skills improved a lot throughout the day. If we did it all over with what we learned I bet we would have brought in a lot more fish. Captain Tim's boat was amazing, very fast and well equipped. Tim knew the waters well, I bet he could plane through the channel's blindfolded. Captain Tim is a character and a lot of fun to be around. We enjoyed the trip and look forward to using our upgraded fishing skills with him again very soon.
Amazing Captain. Knowledgeable and accommodating. Taught my 6 yr old how to jig and jig effectively. Will certainly return.
This trip was a surprise Father's Day present for my spouse and father-in-law. They both thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Captain Tim has great knowledge about fishing and he has jokes too! We would definitely recommend taking a trip with Captain Tim on Pirates Life 4 Us!!
When I booked the trip, I asked what fish we were targeting. He said Black Drum and Red Drum. Sure enough he knew the perfect spots to go and did not disappoint! Best charter experience I ever had. Beautiful boat, the latest equipment, and most professional and knowledgeable Captain! You want to catch fish? A Pirates Life 4 Us will hook you up! Book this charter!!! What a blast! Thanks Captain Tim!!!
Had a lot of fun fishing with captain Tim and a good learning experience.
Our family had an absolute blast! Captain Tim was super fun, knowledgeable, and friendly for kids and adults! We caught and kept fish, enjoyed an adventure on the water, and learned a ton about fishing in the process! We can't wait to charter with Captain Tim and Pirates Life 4 Us again!
Yesterday my Husband and Son took a half a day trip with Captain Tim. They haven't stopped talking about what a great time they had and how fun he is! While booking this charter we knew going in that there is certainly no guarantee on catching a fish (after all these captains can't control the waters). Captain Tim has such a great personality and kept them laughing. He gave them some great techniques that helped them catch fish. They will definitely be back next year! Captain Tim told me when I booked this he'd make sure they'd have fun and he sure did! Thank you so much and God Bless!
