Revival Fishing welcomes you to Wanchese, NC! Captain Lewis will take you on a fishing trip you'll never forget. Whether you want to get an exciting ocean adventure or a more laid-back trip around the sound, you'll find everything you need right here. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join, so bring your favorite people along and start casting!

You'll be fishing on a 29' C-Hawk boat that's powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. There's enough room for 6 guests to join. This center console is equipped with navigational and safety gear, a live bait tank, and a cooler.

When Capt. Lewis isn't running fishing charters, from fall to spring, this boat is used as his commercial fishing boat. During this time, he uses this boat to hook and line fish for Grouper, Snapper, Kingfish, Tilefish, and Amberjack. These are all the species you can catch during your trip as well!

It's a great way to get an experience of fishing from a commercial boat. The only difference is you get to keep the catch. Usually, Captain Lewis sells his catch to O'Neals Seafood, and from there it makes its way to fish markets, grocery stores, and restaurants around the world.

All fishing equipment is covered, so you just need to pack your snacks and drinks and come aboard Revival Fishing!

    Such a great day!

    Special 2 hour trip for Sarah Nashed on August 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely wonderful time on our fishing charter! The kids caught so many fish and had the best time. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable about what bait to use and knew exactly how to keep the fish biting. He was also energetic, engaging, and fantastic with the kids, making the experience fun for everyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water and can’t wait to come back and do it again next year! Highly recommend!

    Great experience and adventure!

    Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM on July 3, 2026 • 5 adults

    Honestly, we would give them above 5 stars! It was only a 4 hour trip but the Capt and his first mate worked hard to get us to the best fishing spots even though the fish were trying to hide. We got a lot of bites and a few keepers, but the ride was great, the conversation and company was awesome, and our family made a great memory. Thankful for this company - we will book again when we're back next summer!

    Loads of fun

    3/4 Day Trip on June 26, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    This trip was the highlight of the week especially for our 12 year old. Lewis put him on fish almost instantly and kept encouraging him thru an almost 20 minute fight to get a nice amber jack in the boat. We also caught triggerfish, black sea bass and Spanish mackerel. Virginia was very knowledgeable for her age and an absolute sweetheart. We are already hoping to book again next year!

    Great Trip with Captain Lewis

    Full Day Trip on August 24, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had a great trip with Captain Lewis! We started at one of the towers and caught some amberjack, then spent the rest of the day alternating between wreck/structure fishing and trolling between spots. We caught a great variety of fish and had plenty of action throughout the trip. Captain Lewis worked hard to keep us on fish, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather or ocean conditions. Great experience all around and we’d definitely fish with him again!

    Fantastic morning on the water!

    Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM on June 18, 2026 • 6 adults

    This was our 5th time to OBX in 9 years and as the kids are now older, we decided on chartering a fishing trip. Captain Lewis took us out trolling and put us on Spanish Mackerel right away! we had plenty of action and a bag full of fish to fry for dinner. Captain Lewis was super friendly and a pleasure to fish with. I would recommend him without hesitation!

    Amazing Trip

    Half Day Trip on September 18, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captian Lewis was awesome he took us out near shore and put us right into some spanish mackerel within the first 10 minutes of being out. Once we caught a few of them he took us out a little farther where we caught some Mahi and some albacore. It was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. We will definitely be booking with him again.

    Never give up!

    3/4 Day Trip on September 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Our first trip on the Waymaker, but we will definitely book again! Our Captain was fantastic and utilized a ton of techniques to ensure we had a great time. We went a little while without a catch, but our Captain was undeterred. He sought out new locations and read the water to find a ton of fish to fill the cooler! We had a blast!

    Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM on August 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    Bought as a fathers day gift for my dad with the intent to just get on a few fish for fun and to eat, ended up on a good day of Spanish Mackerel and Albacore with plenty of meat to take home. Was on fish pretty much all the way up until the last minute of our trip when we got the last one in. 10/10 day and Captain.

    Great experience and very kid friendly! Lewis was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. Made sure to explain the type of fishing we were doing, fish we were catching, and had great stories. Would recommend anyone in OBX to book here, when we come back we’ll be back with Lewis. Thank you!
