 58058 North Carolina 12, Hatteras, NC 27953, United States

Come join us for a fun-filled day of fishing out of the legendary Hatteras, NC. Captain Johnny Fairbanks loves fishing and wants you to enjoy it just as much as him. We strive to make every trip an unforgettable experience on the water and offer personalized trips to the customer’s desires. From hardcore fishing to relaxing family outings, with children. We are ready to get you on the water.

You’ll fish from a 25’ Parker center console with room for up to 6 anglers and a 250hp Yamaha engine that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 25 knots. The boat uses all the modern fishfinder, GPS, as well as radio technology to take you to the fish safely and quickly and has also got a flybridge.

The species you can target are Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Bluefish, Sheepshead, Cobia, and a variety of other species. Using light tackle, you and the captain will catch them by casting, jigging, bait fishing, as well as sight fishing. You’re free to choose if you’ll keep your catch and take it home or just release it back into the water.

You will need sunscreen, snacks, drinks, etc. There is storage on the boat for your belongings and all fishing gear and bait is included in the trip as well as fishing licenses.

Come join Island Time Charters and Captain Johnny for an incredible day on the water!

3/4 Day on April 29, 2025

Capt Johnny is a knowledgeable guy and was keeping us on fish all day. We maxed out on blues and almost maxed out on mackerel. We caught two black fin tuna to the start our day off which lead us into filling the ice box. Definitely will book another trip! Thanks for a great day and memories.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 26, 2024

We had a great experience with Capt. Johnny and Island Time Charters. It was a beautiful morning, and we were able to cruise around to several different spots. We caught a few fish, had some good laughs, and got to spend the day on the water. A successful trip in my book! Johnny was a knowledgeable guide and seemed to enjoy himself just as much as we did which was awesome. Highly recommend!

Captain Johnny was born and raised on the island and knew the waters like the back of his hand. He worked hard to make sure we caught fish. I would definitely recommend him to others and fish with him again the next time we are in Hatteras.

This is our second trip w Johnny. Johnny got us on fish early and often. He was fantastic with my 14 year old son giving him pointers along the way. A great trip and would highly recommend!
