1st time on a fishing trip with my family. Captain Doug was accommodating during the booking process and welcomed us while we boarded. There was a TV with dvd's for the kids while we motored to the fishing area. The big beanbag chair was very comfortable. My boys had a blast and we caught lots of Spanish mackerel. We started at 6 am and added the 2 hour extension later (Captain Doug is patient and flexible). Unfortunately I got seasick so we cut our trip short. A great experience overall and one my family will always remember. Shout out to Rob the 1st mate , he is experienced and capable and hard working. One suggestion to the inexperienced, bring earplugs.
thank you for the kind words Brian it was a pleasure
Captain Doug and first mate Robby were great! My family and I had a great time for our first trip. We didnt get into some fish until toward the end but they was doing everything they could to find the fish. We caught a tuna and 3 mahi. I recommend these guys whether your experienced or first time. They are very patient with the customers but have high expectations for themselves.
Mitchell thank you so much for your kind words. and believe me we want to catch fish more than you do that's the reason we do this for a living have a great vacation and see you next time.
First time ocean fishers. Captain Doug and first mate Robby were awesome. Caught a certificate worthy Kingfish and a good size albacore. Great experience with great people! Great for first timers wanting the offshore experience in a condensed amount of time. Excellent value for the money. Will definitely book again! Would be perfect for newbies and experienced fishers!
Tim thank you so much for the kind words your family was a great group enjoy the rest of your vacation we'll see you next year
My son and I had an enjoyable day on the water. Capt Doug and 1st mate Robbie were engaging and professional. Robbie worked constantly to keep lines out with a variety of tackle to maximize our odds of catching fish. It was a bit of a grind, but we went home with dinner. I would recommend going out with the No Sweat crew.
thank you for your kind words and enjoy the rest of your vacation.
The entire 4 hour trip was great from start to finish. The crew was on time, we left the dock early, maxmmzing our time on the water. Captain Doug and Robbie are super knowledgeable, and had us setup for catching mackerel,which we did, 20lbs, fresh fish for dinner. Awesome time fishing and a great way to enjoy OBX from the water.
Richard I am sorry that the AC kept kicking out unfortunate for you but I fixed it when we got back to the doc I had to clean out the system. other than that thank you for all the kind words and I hope you enjoyed yourself
