You'll fish with Captain Ryan from a 22' Sweetwater pontoon boat that has room for up to 6 people. It's powered by a 115 HP Suzuki engine, uses a fishfinder system for navigation, and features an ice-box to store your fish and drinks.
You and the captain will use spinning on light tackle to attract your prey. The species you'll target are Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Flounder, Redfish, and Black Drum. You can choose whether you'll keep your catch and take it home or just release it back into the water.
Waymaker Charters will provide you with all the fishing gear, licenses, as well as fish cleaning and filleting. The gear includes rods, reels, tackle, live bait, as well as lures. All you need to bring is your favorite food and drinks.
If you're looking for an ocean adventure, check out our other boat, Revival Fishing, also listed here on Fishing Booker.
Come visit the Outer Banks and have a memorable time fishing with Waymaker Charters!

Great Day on the Sound!
Half Day Trip on July 30, 2025 • 4 adults
Second time booking with Waymaker Charters (Gratitude) and Captain Ryan. Ryan is extremely fun to go out and fish with, and very knowledgeable about the area, fishing, and hilarious to be out on the water with! The whole family had a great time, even the Mrs who has no interest in fishing :)
We caught 40+ croakers for live bait to start the morning off, which was a lot of fun, and then reeled at least a half-dozen keeper trouts that made for a great lunch when we got home.
Great time for all and highly recommended! Thank you again, hope to be back with you next year.

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 14, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children
We have a very fun and enjoyable trip, started by catching our bait for the day quickly then off to another spot to catch sea trout. Every caught multiple fish and we actually reached out limit with time left in the trip which was great. We fished for some other types of fish for the rest of the time and had an enjoyable ride through the sound. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. The boat was comfortable and has plenty of space for our 5 guests. The kids had a great time and would recommend this charter to others looking for a fun trip to catch fish.

Captain Ryan is the best!
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on April 22, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child
We went out for the four hour trip with Captain Ryan. We unfortunately did not catch any fish, but that did not put a downer on the day. We had lots of laughs and a great time fishing. Captain Ryan answered all of our questions, was very engaging with the children, and had no issues with moving spots to try and increase our chances of catching something. Overall we had a fantastic experience and I cannot recommend Ryan enough. If I could leave him more than 5 stars, I would!
