For your next trip to North Carolina, book a trip with Captain Tim Quigley.

Step on board the classic Rose Brothers 1969 boat, lovingly restored in 2018. Groups of 6 will have plenty of space to wet their lines at the same time. The Rabid Tuna is decked out with full safety and navigational gear, so you can fish with peace of mind. There is a restroom, kitchen, and bed for your comfort.

The species you’ll be targeting depend on which trip you choose, but can include Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, and more. You’ll also be catching the live bait on the way to the fishing grounds, which won’t take too long.

Children over 2 are welcome and will have life vests provided for them. They’ll love reeling in their first-ever fish and will have a great story to tell back at school.

All rods and reels are included in the price and are top quality from Penn International. You can also request to go spearfishing. There are 2 spears you can use with prior notice.

The first mate will work hard on your behalf during the day, so don’t forget to tip him 15% of the total trip cost at the end of the trip.

You’ll need to bring a cooler of food and drinks along for the day – fishing will work up an appetite! Don’t forget your sun protection, and you’re good to go.

Book a trip with Rabid Tuna Sportfishing Charters today for an unforgettable day out your whole group will love.
