In Debt Charters is located in Nags Head and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Christopher will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, Seabass, Tilefish, Speckled Trout, and Trigger Fish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning. There is also the opportunity to go offshore for Mahi, Dolphin, Tilefish, and Billfish. It starts early because we have to run 20-30 miles to get you there, please see the offshore trip price.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 23' Bulls Bay boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. The offshore trips can be run out of the Bulls Bay, but the conditions have to be right, we also offer a 30' topaz for this trip which will make it for a better opportunity to fish.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

    2 hr trip morning on September 18, 2026 • 3 adults

    I highly recommend booking a charter with In Debt Charters. You could tell captain Chris was in love with fishing and providing a memorable experience for us. We had an absolute blast on the trip, learned some fishing techniques new to us, and enjoyed hearing the fishing stories he told us of his own experience. Hands down, would book him again!

    Wonderful experience!

    2hr 23' Bullsbay 2hr 5-7 pm trip on June 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had so much fun on our fishing trip. Chris was amazing with our boys! It got super windy, so we didn't think we'd have much luck, but tucked into the sound out of the worst of the wind. We ended up catching pin fish, croakers, grunts, trout, and even a flounder. Great way to end our vacation. 10/10 recommend In Debt Charters!

    Chris is the man!!!

    3hr trip available morning on August 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great morning either Chris. We handcuffed him a bit because one of us is prone to seasickness but he was understand and accommodating. We managed to land a few fish and missed a couple of big ones, not Chris’ fault. Will definitely book again. Don’t bring bananas on board!

    The Highlight of our trip

    2 hr trip morning on August 19, 2025 • 4 adults

    Capt Chris from In Debt Charters made our family fishing trip the highlight of our whole trip to the Outer Banks. He made sure to contact us ahead of time to figure out the best day to go so we didn’t have to cancel due to the hurricane that was on the way. He also reached out to verify that we weren’t staying in an area that was being evacuated before we left on our road trip. We have three teenagers who absolutely loved the trip and I think we all know it’s not the easiest to find things that teenagers enjoy to do with us, haha . Capt Chris made us all feel included and welcomed as if we were just enjoying a great fishing day on the water with a friend. He went out of his way to help us catch all sorts of fish. A fun experience for all levels. He mentioned he loves to educate. Very nice, knowledgeable, helpful and fun! Thank you !

Perfect fishing trip with our kids
2hr 23' Bullsbay 2hr 5-7 pm trip on July 31, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

This trip really exceeded our expectations. Chris was so great with our kids and finding an area for them to stay busy catching lots of fish. You can’t beat the personal attention that our kids got for fishing instruction and how to use the equipment. Chris was extremely personable and pleasant and it was all around a fabulous trip. Also the westher and the spot were beautiful. So glad we did this!!!! Thank you!

First time family fishing
2hr 23' Bullsbay 2hr 5-7 pm trip on July 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

We have never fished before in our lives. We showed up at the dock and were greeted by our guide. He was very kind and patient. He explained how to cast and he put the bait on our hooks. We were all able to catch, and by our choice, release a bunch of fish. The fact that the kids want to come back next year says it all. I highy recommend it!
