Jonathan Burgess5.0VerifiedAwesome boys fishing trip!
Tower Trip (AM) on August 6, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenSix of us sailed with Captain Doug and First Mate Robbie today - 3 boys aged 8-12, two dads and grandpa. We let them know ahead of time we wanted to catch Mahi and Amberjack, and they worked hard to make sure we were not disappointed. We ended up landing not only a few AJs and a bunch of Mahi, but also scored some false tuna, a Barjack and even a Barracuda. We even saw a sea turtle by the tower which the boys loved. It was a beautiful day out on the water and the crew was excellent. Highly recomend for anyone looking for a knowledgable crew and a great day of fun in beautiful OBX. We'll be back!
Mitchell Allen5.0VerifiedGreat first experience
6 Hour deep Trip (AM) on July 20, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain 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.

Tim Wolaver5.0VerifiedAwesome Experience
6 Hour deep Trip (AM) on June 25, 2026 • 4 adultsFirst 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!

4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (Later AM) on June 14, 2026 • 3 adults4 hour trip, near shore, not to many fish to be caught, but the ones we got were big. We got a huge spanish Mackerel, which we got the local restaurant to cook for us. The boat was great, fast when moving out to the fishing grounds, and stable when fishing. 10/10 experience had a blast, would recommend, we are going back. The captain and first mate were Top G’s
