Tombstone Charters
Tombstone Charters
For your next nearshore and offshore fishing expedition out of Atlantic Beach, book a trip with Tombstone Fishing Charters. They are locally owned and operated by captain Jared Best, who's been fishing his whole life. Whether you want to stay in close and catch Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel or venture out to bluewater to catch Mahi Mahi and Wahoo, or even bottom fish for Snapper, Grouper, and Triggers, Capt. Jared has the knowledge and equipment to accommodate your wishes.
He also offers daytime Swordfish trips and when the weather starts getting cooler (Nov–Jan), you can take a shot at Giant Bluefin Tuna!
The fishing machine you'll board is the captain's 36' center console, newly built in 2018. The boat accommodates up to 6 guests but 4 can fish at the same time. She's equipped with 2 very powerful 300 HP Suzuki engines that can reach a maximum speed of 50 knots. This speed is especially useful on offshore trips, allowing you to reach the fishing spots faster.
If you're a novice, the captain will teach you how to reel in the fish once it takes the bait, but you can learn even more if you'd like to – the captain can show you the process of preparation, how to use your bait, cast, and more.
Capt. Jared will prepare your Shimano rods and reels, lures, and bait. A fishing license is also covered. You'll need to bring your snacks and drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses, or whatever will make your stay on the boat more enjoyable.

Had an absolute blast fishing. The water was a little rough, but we were still down to go out so Captain Jared and Spencer were ready to go as well. We landed 6 decent size Mahi and one big kingfish. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a charter out of the Atlantic Beach/Morehead City area. While others were not having the best luck that day we were pulling in everything we wanted. I highly recommend mentioning what you really want to catch and Captain Jared will do a solid job at putting you on.
Hey Aidan. We enjoyed fishing with you and Jordan and even though it was a bit rough, we still had a great day! Captain Jared
Just from the start of the day it felt like it was gonna be a good day, Captain Best sounded knowledgeable letting us know about the weather and water temp and our options and chances lf what will be there to catch. He put us out there and caught a varitey of fish from a pretty king mackerl and bonito and then multiple blues and bass. Captain Best and his mate Spencer were very helpful and good guys to spend the day with. They will even get just as excited as you will as you haul in you catch. I’d recommend Tombstone to any who asks and will definitely plan another charter again.
Thanks Joshua! You guys were great to fish with. Spencer and I had a great time as well! Captain Jared
My wife and I had the privilege of celebrating our 10th anniversary fishing with captain Jared and his son. They put us right on the fish and handled the boat perfectly, smoothly navigating between swells. They both are very knowledgeable about the area and about the fish you are wanting to target. They went out of their way, and exceeded expectations in every way. I couldn't recommend them enough. If you want an enjoyable experience, you can't go wrong with Tombstone!
Thank you Jake! We enjoy putting smile on our client's faces! Spencer and I enjoyed fishing with you as well! Happy Anniversary! Captain Jared
We had a awesome day boat crew and the fishing was great! We caught a bunch of fish. Limited out on snapper we caught Mahi, king mackerel, and jacks. Great trip for the family or just the guys had a great time!
Spencer and I had a great time fishing with you all! Thank you! Captain Jared

I was born and raised on Harkers Island which is a local commercial fishing community. I grew up on the water and have fished inshore and offshore my whole life. I chose to be a charter captain so I can share my knowledge and experience with other people and support my family doing what I love. With growing up around the fishing industry my whole life, I have acquired the knowledge and experience to catch many species of fish.
