Our trip with Captain Jimmy and first mate Mitch was truly one of the best experiences our family has had in OBX. We had 3 adults and 3 kids (ages 7, 10, and 15) on our trip. The focus was the kids having a good time - and they had a blast! Jimmy and Mitch wasted no time getting us on the water, lines in, and fish on! I'm still in awe of the patience and gentleness that the crew had for us. Answering every inquiry with very informative answers in a way anyone could understand. I wanted to book a second trip with them while we were here this week, but there aren't any slots available. Don't miss out on a once in a lifetime experience and book a trip with Bonehead! We're looking forward to coming back for our next adventure!
Thanks James! We couldn't do it without awesome folks like you. We really appreciate it!
We had an awesome time on this charter! The captain worked hard to keep us on the fish, and it paid off. We caught our limit of bluefish and even added some mackerel to the cooler. The mate was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a fun day on the water with plenty of action, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be back!
Amazing experience for my teens & tween! Captain Jimmy got us on the fish just minutes into the charter! First mate, Mitch, was kind, professional and went above and beyond sharing all his fishing knowledge with my teenage son. You can tell these fidherman not only know what theyre doing but love it too! Highly recommend this charter!
We’ve gone on other charters in the Hatteras area before we found Bonehead, but we will only book with them. Incredibly knowledgeable, easy going, friendly, and they know how to put you on some fish! Great time as always…thanks guys!! See you again next year!
2nd time booking with Bonehead and Jim is a great captain and great guy. Amber was his mate this time and she did awesome! Thanks for a great experience and we’ll see you again next year. The kids are already talking about next year.
