Retriever Charters specializes in family-friendly fishing adventures! Join Captain Jeffrey for a day of relaxation and a stress-free trip you'll remember for a long time. This is also a great opportunity to explore the parts of Hatteras Island that can only be seen by boat. Bring your loved ones and start your journey!

You'll be fishing on a 24’ Privateer that accommodates up to 6 guests. This center console is powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine that reaches speeds of up to 30 knots. The boat also features navigational electronics, a flybridge, and a live bait tank. No matter where you go, you'll enjoy a safe and reliable ride throughout the day.

Choose between a custom inshore and nearshore half or full-day trip. You can also visit Ocracoke, a trip that combines fishing and clamming if you choose. Although it's great to spend all day fishing, the crew recognizes a lot of family groups enjoy mixing it up and exploring the secluded sandbar islands around Hatteras inlet. This is why they like to include you while planning your day.

All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. You only need to pack your food and drinks for the day. Don't forget sun protection as well!

Retriever Charters offers the best way to enjoy a day off with your loved ones. You just need to pick the date and show up!

3 Hour Trip – Shelling and Clamming on June 29, 20262 adults2 children

I was looking for a shortened trip for myself, husband, and her two daughters, Jeffrey provided us with that! He could tell they were getting kind of bored because the fish weren't biting (We really wanted to catch fish haha) So he took us to an island and we found some absolutely breathtaking shells! He taught us how to find conch shells and once my girls found one, they kept finding them! They both said it was the best day ever!!! We can't thank him enough for making our last day so awesome and relaxing. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Perfect way to spend a day in Hatteras!
Half Day - Morning on June 16, 20263 adults2 children

I am a novice fisherman who wanted to give my kids a great fishing experience and build all of our knowledge about how to fish, this was the perfect trip for that. Captain Jefferey is great for children and adults, clearly very knowledgeable, but so willing to teach. He was super patient with our kids (8, 10, and 13) and helped each of them reel in a fish (two were drums that we coukd keep, he gave pointers for where to take them in town etc). we literally could not have asked for more from this trip, we will definitely be back!

Perfect day with Captian Jeff!
Half Day - Afternoon on August 4, 20265 adults

I had 3 teenage girls on this trip. Jeff did a great job teaching them how to fish, find shells and sand dollars. His communication before the trip was great. Adults and kids loved every minute. He shared a lot about the local community and geography of the ocean. If we come back to Hatteras, we would definitely do another trip with him!

I grew up fishing in the ocean and sound waters around Hatteras. My family has been on the island for generations, both commercial and recreational fishing has been a part of our lives all the way back to my great grandparents. We are always on the water and if we aren't fishing with a rod and reel then we are probably spearfishing or surfing.
