If you’re ready to have fun fishing in Wilmington, we’ve got you covered with Whipsaw Charters.

Great Barracuda, Amberjack, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, king Mackerel,and more depending on conditions.

On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with Whipsaw Charters are kid-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 42’ Offshore sport fishing with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Whipsaw Charters!

My three friends and I had a great day from start to finish. The boat was clean and well-organized, and the expertise of the captain and first mate were evident. We caught fish throughout the morning, and they did a great job of helping us out while letting us do as much of the work as we wanted to do.

My party, which included kids, had an excellent time with Captain Robbie and crew. Capt. Robbie put us on fish immediately and we were catching through the duration of the trip. I highly recommend Whipsaw as the boat to book for your next charter!
