Six 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!
thank you so much for the kind words Jonathan and I am so happy with what you are doing with your kids they will grow up to be great men have a great vacation see you next time
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
Went out for a four hour morning fishing trip with family (four kids, 12-16) and had a great time. Caught just over 40 fish (mostly bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and Atlantic moonfish). Captain and mate were great and made us comfortable and welcome from the first, ‘hello’. Would highly recommend No Sweat Sportsfishing to anyone looking to have a great morning, or day, on the water.
thank you so much for your kind words it's not always that you meet a group that you feel like you've known forever. I am so happy you had a good time and we look to see you again till then God bless and stay safe.
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.
Captain Doug was very flexible with our booking and accommodated our requests with quick responses and very friendly communication. Weather was excellent, landed a Mahi, tuna and false tuna. Will need to do an 8 hr trip next time. Definitely recommend if you are new to this or novices like us.
thank you for your kind words we are very pleased to have a fun group on the boat enjoy the rest of your vacation
