Brannin Charters is a top-class inshore fishing outfit in Wilmington, NC. We offer an exciting experience to catch redfish, flounder, trout, black drum, etc. on the Wilmington inshore coastline.

Captain Michael Brannin is an experienced and very skilled captain. He caters his trips to fit your needs as his goal is to give you a great fishing trip and experience. Most charters will run out of the Fort Fisher boat ramp located in Kure Beach, NC. However, Brannin Charters also serves Wrightsville, Oak Island, Southport, Bald Head Island, and Carolina Beach.
All fishing licenses will be provided, along with bait, tackle, rods, and anything else needed for the trip. The only thing you will need is sunscreen, food, and drinks. We use the best quality rods, including both Penn and Okuma fishing set-ups. Fly rods and fly tackle will also be provided for fly fishing trips.
Charters are operated on a 2010 East Cape Lostmen with a brand new 2024 Yamaha 70 engine. The boat has rear seating that makes for a comfortable ride. The boat has a draft of around 5 inches, allowing for fishing styles that are not achievable by other boats.
Book your trip today and let Brannin Charters give you a great experience on the water.
On days of the charter, please be at the ramp on time. I will have the boat fully prepared and, in the water, ready to go. Book a trip today and let's get out there and get on some fish in the backwaters of Wilmington, NC.

Another great trip with Captain Michael. Fishing was slow and captain called the day prior to trip and shared information of the current conditions. If you want a trip that is laid back and conversation is easy this is the trip to choose. I will be booking a 3rd trip with him again.
Caught a flounder. Had a couple opportunities for reds (full day trip) and switched to black drum in the afternoon. No luck but a bad day of fishing is better than a day at work.

This trip was so much fun and Michael was a great captain!
Brannon Charters did a great job of communicating with me before our trip. We had some bad weather come through early morning and they adjusted our time instead of cancelling the trip .My son and I had a great time , great experience. These guys know the area well and have nice set up.Will definitely book again next year when my family returns to the beach.
