Shearwater Fishing Charters
Enjoy the quaint atmosphere of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, and discover what fishing opportunities await you. Shearwater Fishing Charters is family and kid friendly and will provide you with the chance to do some fun and awesome fishing. The experienced captain will do his best so you don’t return empty-handed.
The boat is a NC built 25’ 6” Maycraft Pilot House, a serious and safe fishing boat. You’ll have enough space to move around, and there’s some shade against the sun. The boat is equipped with fish-finding sonar equipment, gps navigation, and it is powered by a Yamaha 250 HP engine.
Fishing will be primarily nearshore locations of Wrightsville Beach over sand and artificial reef. You’ll get a chance to test your skills with light tackle and trolling. Captain Drew will help you with fishing for species like Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Bonito, and Sharks.
You won’t need a fishing license as the charter’s got you covered. All the necessary equipment, fishing rods, lures, bait, and ice will be provided. Drew will clean and bag any catch you would like to keep at the end of the trip.
FREE PARKING in private lot during the charter. Clean restrooms and marina store with drinks, snacks, and ice for sale is located a few steps from the boat.

Fun trip
Had a good time catching some fish and a few sharks. Cruised around for a while and just chatted about what it’s like to live down in Wilmington.
