Oak Island, NC, United States
Running angling trips out of Southport / oak island, Seabbatical Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.
Your captain is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You'll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, handline, jigging, and spinning, depending on what you're going after. As part of their 3 to 12-hour trips, you can target species like Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Shark, depending on the current season and weather conditions.
Your adventure begins on board a custom built Palmetto 33. The boat is fitted with a toilet, ice boxes, shade, and comfortable seating. All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.
You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated. You'll find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you're always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Seabbatical Charters.

Super fun day! 🦈
Half Day Trip – 4 hours morning on June 29, 2025 • 5 adults
We enjoyed our off shore trip with Capt Adam and mate. We arrived early and the boat was waiting for us. It was spacious and clean for a party of 6 with 3 teens. We caught dinner fish (Spanish Mackerel) then headed in a different direction so the boys could catch sharks! All the boys caught a shark, hammerheads and a sand shark. The mate (sorry I forgot your name!) filleted our Spanish mackerel right on the boat, bagged them up for us to take home.
It was NC hot this time of year, otherwise enjoyed our experience for very much!
Planning to go again Nov/Dec with Seabattical!
Thank you for a wonderful day and lots of fun memories made!💙

I've been out with Seabbatical Charters at least a dozen times. Captain Adam and Robert are top notch. Today was very special for me , I had my son and grandsons with me. As usual we caught fish and had a great time doing it. Capt Adam's personality is awsome the way he interacted with my 5 year old grandson was awesome and Robert is the best 1st mate around. We had 3 generations aboard today, so if there's one thing that Capt Adam and Seabbatical Charters do , they excel at is makeing memories.

Half Day Trip – 4 hours morning on October 14, 2025 • 4 adults
We went fishing right after bad weather had passed through the region so the conditions were tough but Captain Adam managed to put us on some fish. He went out of his way to make the most of the conditions and provide us with a great experience. You can tell he really enjoys what he does.

Our first family fishing trip!! Captain Adam made it amazing… he moved it up 45 min so we could watch the sunset. As the sun was setting in front of us, we had a rainbow behind us.. we caught a total of 10 fish in our 2 hour trip!! Can’t wait to do the 4 hour fishing trip next!

Had a lot fun with captain Adam. At times we hooked up on every cast. Loved the new boat (which has a bathroom - always appreciated on a long day on the water). Big boat smoothed out any water. Twin 300’s got us where we needed to in no-time. Fishing machine!
