Wasabi Fishing Charters offers you world-class fishing trips for the family or the die-hard fisherman. Come visit Morehead City, North Carolina and spend a day on the water with Captain Corbett Johnson aboard his boat with a proven history and many Billfish under her belt! The captain plans to add many more, and a lot of great memories to go along with it. He looks forward to showing you an epic day of fishing as well as why he loves calling this beautiful place home!

Your journey starts on a restored 48’ Buddy Harris custom offshore sport fishing boat that can easily accommodate up to 6 guests. Running on a twin 800 HP Caterpillar V3406E engine and equipped with comprehensive navigation technology, she’ll get you to the fish safely and in no time. You can use all of her facilities which include a flybridge, kitchen, toilet, as well as bed. To provide maximum comfort and service to all her guests, the boat’s wheelchair-accessible, air-conditioned, and features a TV, multimedia system, refrigerator, and an ice-box.

The onboard fishing equipment is also wide-ranging and includes a fighting chair, livewell, spearfishing gear, outriggers, downriggers, and tuna tubes. A first mate will also join your trip to give you any help you may need.

Some of the many prized species you can catch on your trip are Yellowfin Tuna, Snowy Grouper, Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Sailfish. You’ll attract them by bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, drift fishing, and even kite fishing. If you want to, you can keep all the fish you catch and you’re welcome to bring children on your trip.

All the tackle, live bait, lures, as well as fishing licenses will be ready for you on the boat. What you should bring are just the food and drinks of your choice.

Reelax Fishing Charters "Wasabi" invites you for a true adventure out on the sea, come aboard and have an angling trip of a lifetime!

Had a good day. Was hoping to catch some cobia but wasn’t in the cards. We caught a ton of Spanish mackerel. Captain spotted a school of small bait fish. We casted into it and landed a King Mackerel. We left with 30lbs of filets . Thanks for a good time!

We had a wonderful nearshore trip this morning and brought home 15 Spanish Mackeral for supper. Our group was 4 adults and 2 kids. Captain Corbett and first mate Ian were talented, warm and full service. They answered a million questions with a smile and story, helped us know when we had a bite, remove hooks and clean the fish. Super enjoyable experience and definitely recommend these guys.
