Carolina Beach Sportfishing welcomes you aboard for a day of fishing fun on the waters of Carolina Beach! Join Capt. Ryan Cooper on your journey to explore the offshore fishery and catch something worth bragging about.
The boat that will be your ride for the day is a 40’ custom built beauty that the captain spruced up himself. She’s perfectly suited for offshore angling and can sit up to 6 persons on their way to the most productive fishing grounds in the area. She is outfitted with a 500 HP Caterpillar engine that allows her to be swift and stable.
You will find Penn and Shimano rods, reels, and tackle on board, as well as everything you need for your fishing adventure to go smoothly. For any assistance, turn to the first mate, who will be at your disposal throughout the whole trip.
Depending on how much time you’ve got, you can decide how many hours you’ll spend fishing, as well as if you do it in the morning or in the afternoon. You will be targeting a colorful variety of ocean royalty from Spanish Mackerel to wahoo, tuna, and more. Whatever expedition you opt for, you will have plenty of time on the waves to hook something awesome.
Trips with Capt. Ryan and Carolina Beach Sportfishing are well suited for fishing novices and experts alike, and if you’d like to organize a memorable family outing, this is the charter for you. Bring your own sunscreen, drinks, and food, and leave everything else in your guide’s capable hands.
The kids will have a blast on shorter trips especially, and your captain will provide life vests for them. All you have to do is cast your line and when something comes biting, do your best to reel it in.
Get a taste of North Carolina fishing and you’ll always be coming back for more!

We went out and my 2 grandsons caught several fish. Captain & mate were great with my 7 & 8 year old grandsons. A wonderful time and they got to feed the pelicans and a large sea turtle after our catches were cleaned. I highly recommend this boat and we will be booking again!!
