At Ease Charters is located in Emerald Isle and offers you a memorable time on these inshore and nearshore waters. Capt. Heath Canada is a retired U.S. Coast Guard veteran with decades of fishing in Eastern North Carolina. He can customize your fishing charter to include an eco-tour of the Crystal Coast as well as island hopping with your friends and family. At Ease Charters can cater to anyone from the well-seasoned angler to beginners. Families and kids of all ages are welcome.

Capt. Heath will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 5 to 8-hour trips, fishing for Speckled Trout, Red Drum, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead. On nearshore ocean charters, you can chase Spanish and King Mackerel, Bluefish, Gray Trout, Cobia, Bonito, False Albacore, Black Seabass, Spadefish, and Amberjack. You can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, and jigging.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 24’ Bay Rider boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a wireless trolling motor. The crew will provide coolers and ice on board for your snacks, beverages, and of course, fish. At Ease Charters also has an 800 lbs-capacity ice machine, so let the crew know how many and what size coolers you plan on using to take your catch home and it will be sure to provide the ice to send with you free of charge. The vessel’s fishing license will cover all anglers, so there is no need for the customer to purchase one. The captain believes that all of his customers deserve the highest level of service and he’s committed to providing just that.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing.

At Ease Charters is here for you, let’s go have some fun and make some memories!

Great Day for the Family

Captain Canada was very helpful and attentive to everyone, especially with the less experienced members of the family. We caught several species of fish. Sea bass, flounder and drum. He was very friendly and it was fun talking with him throughout the trip. He even gave me some tips and suggestions for surf fishing. Great day for all. We are definitely going out again with him. See you next year Heath.

Captain Heath was great knew areas to fish. He was able to get us on some fish, but if you know ocean fishing the bite was not there due to multiple weather impacts. He put in every effort to get us on fish, and we still left with a couple nice catches. Will definitely use him again next time we are on the island.

Heath goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. We caught some great fish and he was especially great to my nephew who has never fished before. Can’t recommend this charter enough.
