***Topsail's Top Choice 2024 - 1st Place Favorite Fishing Charter!***

Grassy Sound Charters is an award winning charter service based in Hampstead, NC and serves Topsail Island (North Topsail & Topsail Beach), Surf City, Sneads Ferry, and Wrightsville Beach. We are convenient to the Greater Wilmington area and only 25 minutes from the ILM airport.

The USCG Veteran crew is amongst the safest and most professional that you will find in the industry. We will do our very best to make sure you have a safe, enjoyable, and productive time on the water. This includes 3 to 10-hour trips, mainly fishing for Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Snapper, Grouper, Seabass, Mahi-Mahi, Tuna and Wahoo depending on the season and conditions on the day. Our qualifications, experience and knowledge are far reaching and what makes us a truly professional operation.

You will be riding on a 31’ Cape Horn center console boat that can comfortably take up to 6 persons. It is fast, dry, comfortable, and a head-turner! Whether you are looking for a laid-back trip on the coast or a hardcore fishing adventure offshore, this is the charter you have been looking for!

All rods, reels, terminal tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are included in the price so you can focus on enjoying yourself. Fish cleaning service is available after your trip. Be sure to bring an adequately sized cooler and account for the added time it will take to clean your catch. 

A Mate will accompany all fishing charters and works for tips. 20% of the total trip price is customary.

No glass bottles aboard the vessel.

Please contact the Captain directly before booking if you have questions about the rate, availability, or have special considerations.

Licensed, insured, state and federally permitted.

Offshore - 3/4 Day on August 26, 20254 adults
Captain Anthony and his mate "Sam" were wonderful! We went pretty far out and did trolling but had limited success there. Then we did some bottom fishing where we caught at least 50 fish. Only about half were legal size but that was more than enough for us. The boat was very nice, well-equipped, clean. Both the captain and mate we're very personable and engaging. Very efficient at fishing. Definitely watermen to the core. We had an excellent and fun trip!

We had a great time with Captain Anthony! All we asked for was to catch some fish. Captain Anthony promised we would, and we did! The “main event” of our trip was when we caught a 15-lb stingray, but we caught a nice variety of different fish (including pigfish, sea bass and a puffer fish). Captain Anthony was very knowledgeable, responsive and made it fun for the three kids we had on the boat. Would definitely recommend him with full confidence!

Was a great trip. Fishing was tough, but captain Anthony and crew kept us moving to find fish, and was great at working through the pop up storms safely.

Trolling in August is unfortunately not good but gotta try to cover water and give you a shot at a mahi anyway. The boys were great. Glad they had fun.

I cannot say enough about Captain Anthony. We went with four kids and the Captain was very focused on making sure they were getting everything they could out of the trip. That kind of care and joy for sharing the experience of fishing are qualities that we love about fishing and it was great to find it here.

Darrell, Thank you very much for sharing this. The weather was less than ideal for a young family, and I wanted nothing more than to leave them with a positive core memory. I think it is awesome that you and your Wife look to provide experiences like this for your children!
