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.

Book your trip now and hit the water with In Debt Charters.

2 hr trip morning on August 18, 2025

We had such a great experience on our 2-hour trip with Captain Chris! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel welcome and comfortable. He was especially amazing with my 5-year-old son—patient, encouraging, and so kind. My son talked about “Captain Chris” the whole rest of the day, which tells you how much fun he had. Although we didn’t catch a lot of fish, that had nothing to do with the effort put in on Captain Chris’s part. It was simply the weather and the time of year—the fish just weren’t biting. Captain Chris tried multiple spots, gave us a lot of opportunities, and used his knowledge of the area to give us the best chance possible. We really appreciated how much he explained along the way, which made the whole trip educational and enjoyable, even when the fish were quiet. What stood out the most was how genuinely friendly and easygoing he was. He made the entire outing stress-free and fun, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We would absolutely recommend Captain Chris to anyone, especially families with kids—he goes above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable time on the water. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!

4 Hr Trip on 23’ BullsBay Morning on June 11, 2025

Cpt. Chris was able to put us on a lot of fish. Unfortunately, hooking up proved to be a touch difficult for us. We are accustomed to river or lake fishing so it’s a little bit different. Cpt. Chris is very knowledgeable and patient. He worked with my eight year old daughter just like he was family. I’ve taken several fishing trips in my life and I’ve found some captains can be rough around the edges or just down right rude. You will get neither with Cpt. Chris. He’s a down to Earth good person and great fishing Captain.

6 Hour Trip 23’BullsBay Morning on June 23, 2025

First of all, Captain Chris and his first-mare son are very good people. It was like fishing with old friends. I told Chris initially that I wanted to wreck fish and that is exactly what we did. He had us on fish the entire day. We had a blast with sea bass and trigger fish and had several drag screaming encounters with shovel head sharks. Back at the dock, Chris cleaned the fish and we took home some very high quality seafood. I would recommend Chris to anyone who enjoys hands-on fishing.

4 Hr Trip on 23’ BullsBay Morning on July 21, 2025

Had a great time with Captain Chris on a 4 hour trip with my 9 year old son. Captain Chris was very knowledgeable about the different species of fish and how to catch them. He was also very helpful with my son which allowed me to catch many fish myself. We felt very safe and comfortable on the ocean. My son really enjoyed this trip and has already asked to come back next year. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to book a charter with or without kids.

4 Hr Trip on 23’ BullsBay Morning on July 8, 2025

We had high winds and choppy waters but went out anyway to see what we could find. Caught many ‘croaker's, which I’d never heard of so that was fun. We decided to take it out to the big water, bumpy ride but the scenery was beautiful so we didn’t mind the boat ride. We were able to catch a bigger fish, a Blue fish I believe, and that was it. I really think the waters were just too rough to have a successful charter, BUT, the Captain and his partner were great, both very knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend!!
