Justin Hooker5.0VerifiedAll I wanted for our trip!
2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids on June 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Ren was amazing. He specifically asked what we were looking to get out of it and delivered! We just wanted to fish, which was my birthday wish. We all fished when young with other adults, and Captain Ren was the perfect guide for our level of experience. We caught a ton of fish and even some not so common ones for the spot we were at! He was pleasant, and took his time. We didn’t feel rushed at all. My son loved it, though he lost interest within 30 mins and took over as “co-captain” telling us how to do it and observing. Captain Ren took pictures for us, and was so kind as well as patient. He even spotted dolphins for us and let us watch for several minutes. We would definitely book again!

2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids - 10:15 AM on July 21, 2026 • 6 adultsThis was our second trip with Captan Rennie and we didn’t think he could top our trip from last year when we caught a 7 LB black drum. We didn’t catch any BIG fish this time around, but the trip did not disappoint. We got to see lots of dolphin, a mantatee, caught lots of small fish, even a few sharks and a sting ray. Highly recommend his tour if your family is looking for something fun to do while in Carolina Beach.

2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids - 10:15 AM on August 22, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenHad a fun and exciting fishing trip out on the ocean with Captain Rennie and 1st mate Camille. When the water became too choppy for two of the adults, with severe motion sickness, he kindly turned around and brought us to calmer waterways. The 3 kids caught a variety of fish and loved the thrill of riding the waves. Even though it rained, toward the end, we didn't ruin our fun! 😊 ❤️🎣😃
