Explore the beautiful waters off the coast of North Carolina with Vicarious Charters, and have the time of your life! Captain Dave enjoys fishing, diving, and surfing. Hes been running charters for the past 10 years, but they’ve been fishing for many more, so you can be sure of their ability to take you where the fish are.
You’ll head out on their 26’ Glacier Bay catamaran. It’s powered by twin 200HP Suzuki engines, making it a force to be reckoned with in these waters. The boat has all the navigational electronics you’ll need, as well as a T-top to protect you from the sun, and a basic onboard toilet. There are also large fish boxes and dry storage for anything you want to bring along.
With Dave, you’ll get a variety of experiences to choose from. Depending on the conditions, you’ll be targeting species like Amberjack, Bluefish, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Redfish, Seabass, Sheepshead, Spadefish, Mackerel, Trout, and Triggerfish. That’s a wide range of fish, so you definitely won’t go home empty-handed!
All of the fishing equipment will be ready for you on board, as well as a range of lures. Shorter trips are a great introduction to fishing, if you want to bring your kids along for the fun. The longer ones allow for wreck fishing in the deeper waters. If you’re feeling adventurous, snorkeling and spearfishing are possible with some planning in advance.
Just make sure to bring some food and drinks to keep you energized, especially on the longer trips. Pack sunscreen but make sure it's lotion and not spray, as spray sunscreen stains the deck and is not allowed on board. As the charter name suggests, the captain has fun when you’re having fun, so get ready!
Join Vicarious Charters, and have an adventure of a lifetime in the abundant waters of North Carolina!

What a fun and beautiful morning in the Atlantic! Great boat, smooth ride on the Center Catamaran. We were excited to catch large Trigger Fish to bring home. Capt was timely, well prepared, helpful, and enjoyed conversation.

We caught seven huge drop m on a four hour trip! Captain Dave and Jessica were fantastic. They were great with our kids and made sure to find big schools of fish. My boys have been looking forward to ocean fishing for several years now and they both said it was even better than they thought it would be.

We did a four hour fishing charter with a 6 year old and we all had the best time! Captain Dave was super patient with my 6 year old and helped him reel in some of the fish we caught. We would definitely book again on our next trip to North Carolina!
