I booked a fishing charter with Captain Sam for my 14 year old son Sam who’s been dying to catch fish on our vacations. The family tagged along (12 & 10 yr old sisters, Mom & Dad) and everyone had a great experience! Captain Sam was awesome, he knew where to go, what to do and got us on fish right away. I highly recommend booking with Tightlinz Charter!

Great for family- highly recommend
I usually don’t leave reviews, but I will happily recommend Capt. Sam if you have kids who love to fish or are interested in learning how to fish. Sam was patient with my twin 15 year old novice anglers and they landed fish (some were larger than mine) like pros. He is also extremely knowledgeable of the best spots on the Palmlico Sound to fish. Great start to our OBX vacation and we hope to book again with Capt. Sam soon.

Captain Sam was aewsome!
We had a great half day trip! Sam was amazing with communication before hand with any questions we had. He was flexible with our start time and had us on the fish almost immediately! Everyone caught multiple blues! Too many to eat so we tossed a lot back. Sam filleted the fish after our trip so we can try them for dinner! All in all, and great experience for myself, my husband and our kids!
