In Debt Charters
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.

The Highlight of our trip
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 !

Great trip.
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!

Great day
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
Many many fish
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.

Great Fishing Trip with My Son
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.
