6 Hour Trip - Nearshore (Later AM) on June 16, 20262 adults2 children

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.

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel

thank you for the kind words Brian it was a pleasure

6 Hour deep Trip (AM) on June 25, 20264 adults

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!

4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (Later AM) on June 14, 20263 adults

4 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

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel
Bluefish (Tailor)

4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (Later AM) on June 23, 20263 adults1 child

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.

Response from Captain

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

Fantastic 4-Hour Inshore Trip with Captain Doug!
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) on October 8, 20254 adults1 child

We had an amazing 4-hour trip aboard No Sweat with Captain Doug. He went above and beyond by taking us further out than usual to make sure we found the fish—and it definitely paid off! We landed 5 big bluefish and 2 albacore tuna and even had the excitement of losing another right at the boat. Captain Doug was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly knew where to find the action. Great boat, great atmosphere, and great fishing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a productive and enjoyable day on the water!
