Blue Chip Sportfishing
Visit Blue Chip Sportfishing OBX and experience North Carolina's finest Gulf Stream fishing.
Enjoy a day aboard Blue Chip, a beautiful 53' Custom Carolina sport fishing boat, designed and built by Gary Davis. She is powered by twin 800 HP Caterpillar diesels and she easily cruises at 30 knots. Blue Chip is complemented by state-of-the-art navigation and electronics, tournament grade Shimano tackle, a large 130 class fighting chair, and a giant cockpit with mezzanine seating. The salon has 2 huge sofas, a sink, a refrigerator, a microwave, and is comfortably cooled by dual a/c units. Blue Chip can accommodate 6 guests plus the crew.
With the help of his older brother, Blue Chip's owner/captain Jon Bunn caught his first Yellowfin Tuna at 4 years old. He has been 'hooked' since then. Captain Jon has fished recreationally, commercially, for private owners, and for charter. Blue Chip's first mate has had a similar career, and to put it simply, Captain Jon and his mate will work very hard for you. Together, they are a 5-star team looking to turn your fishing trip into a catching trip while making lifetime memories.
All licenses, tackle, and bait are included. Just bring your drinks and snacks.
Blue Chip Sportfishing OBX, regrettably, reserves the right to add a reasonable fuel surcharge.

Gary Cook5.0VerifiedFirst experience deep sea fishing and it wont be the last
12 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 16, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Jonathan and his first mate we top notch! Before our trip I had a lot of questions and Jonathan was quick to repond and was thorough with his answers. The day of, was a great experience, he knew where to go, what was biting, and spent the time looking for the fish. We got lucky to catch what we caught (no guarantees in fishing) but walked away with 7 yellow tail tuna and stories to last a lifetime. Ill be badk again next year without a doubt!

12 Hour Trip – Offshore on August 6, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain Jon delivered the charter of a lifetime as we caught Atlantic blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish all in one outing - a total of 7 large billfish including one 400 pounder !! He and his mate were all-around great hosts, making this a fantastic time for our group. We’ll never forget our experience and would highly recommend Blue Chip !

12 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 15, 2026 • 6 adultsEven though we had to return sooner than expected, due to sickness. Captain Jonathan and his two mates were amazing throughout the day. We even managed to catch fish before we had to stop fishing.

12 Hour Trip – Offshore on March 7, 2026 • 6 adultsThis crew is no joke. They work hard for the money and dont fail. the boat is super comfortable and even if you don’t catch fish its a good time…BUT… you WILL catch fish! we were one of a very few boats that put Bluefin in the cooler and every other boat was following us to try and figure it out. these boys know how and where. i
Daryl KingstonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome day fishing!

This was our second trip with BLUE CHIP and they delivered in the exact same way as our prior trip. This CAPTAIN and his MATE are son knowledgeable. They just get the job done from start to finish, ATTITUDE, RESPECT and COMMITMENT. We will be back again for sure. Probably next year. We caught another one of our BUCKET LIST fish, so top praise to BLUE CHIP.
