Come to Hatteras, North Carolina and have a fishing adventure with Runaway Sportfishing Charters. A lot of excitement and fun await you as you head out to the area's nearshore and offshore waters and chase a huge number of species that live here. Right by your side will be Captain Jay Daniels to make sure your trip goes smoothly, so you can reel in a fine catch and enjoy fishing to the fullest. Come along and have your next angling adventure with Runaway Sportfishing Charters!

You'll fish from a 45' Sheldon Midgett offshore sport fishing boat that can sit up to 6 guests and is powered by a 660 HP Cumming M11 engine that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 27 knots. The boat's navigation gear includes all the modern GPS, fishfinder, radio, and radar systems that allow for safe and quick reaching the fish. The boat's got a flybridge, toilet, as well as beds, and it also features air-conditioning, a multimedia system, and an ice-box. When it comes to the fishing equipment, there are outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and a livewell. Finally, a first mate will also join your trip so you have the best possible service while on board.

Hatteras is known for its rich and varied fisheries, and with species such as Bluefin Tuna, Amberjack, Marlin, Wahoo, King Mackerel, Snapper, Triggerfish, and many more, you'll have an excellent opportunity to make a big catch. The choice of fishing techniques you can use is also wide. You can bottom and deep sea fish, troll, spin, jig, pop, as well as drift and kite fish, using light and heavy tackle. If you wish, you can keep all the fish you catch. If not, just release it back into the water. Kids are welcome to join the trip, so feel free to bring them along.

Captain Jay provides you with all the fishing gear and licenses, so you should only bring your favorite snacks and drinks.

Runaway Sportfishing Charter's waiting for you to make your next fishing trip a memorable one, so come aboard and enjoy the fun!

Filled the cooler !
Full Day Fishing Charter on August 13, 20253 adults

Had a blast today with Captain Jay and Matt. If an Old School Captain is what you’re looking for he’s your man ! Not only was he well prepared beforehand, asking us the day before to come early so we could outrun the major storms that morning but also he and Matt were troopers when we did have to pass through a few periods of rain, keeping us dry in the cabin while they did the work to keep our rigs in the water. Had our limit of Mahi by 8am and spent the rest of the day filling the boat with Wahoo and Tuna. We’ll be back next year for sure !

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Blackfin Tuna
Bluefin Tuna
Wahoo

My main mentor was my dad who introduced me to fishing on lakes, rivers, and the ocean. He introduced me to fishing and it bit like a bug. I eventually became a mate and was the mate for some of the best captains on the east coast for 9 years. I have been the captain of Runaway Sportfishing Charters for the last 11 years. I welcome you to Marathon, Florida. Book one of my trips and let me take you nearshore or offshore for a memorable fishing experience like never before.
