She's back and better than ever! Based out of Wanchese, Back N' Black is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Back'N Black is a 53' Bobby Sullivan custom Carolina vessel built in 1987 and has been a prime sport fishing charter boat of the Outer Banks since that day! As part of the world's best charter fleet here in our coastal waters, your charter will enjoy catching Billfish, Mahi, Tunas, Wahoo, Bottom Fish, and even a Shark or two. With a new name and brand, the Black'N Black vessel has been re-powered with industry-leading electronics along with a Cat c18 1000hp engine enabling cruising speeds to upwards of 28knots.

The updated renovations to the main cabin of the vessel and brand new HVAC system makes for a very comfortable journey in between catches for any serious fisherman or family trip. The Interior includes 2 large sofas, TV, and a kitchen area with a sink, refrigerator, and microwave. Aboard the vessel during your trip the mezzanine seating provides a comfortable sitting area with sun and spray protection provided by the flybridge overhang to enjoy all the action one step up from the cockpit sole. Beautifully built into each level of the Back'N Black is an abundance of useful amenities for both creature comfort and fishing.

With many years under his belt growing up on our coastal waters, Capt. Derek will do his best to ensure you have a fun day full of fishing. His resume and accolades in the fishing community alone will guarantee a safe and memorable trip. From being featured in Men's Health Magazine to tournament wins totaling $2mil+, you and your group will be in good hands!

All licenses, tackle, and bait are included. Just bring your drinks and snacks.

Full Day Trip – Offshore on June 12, 20266 adults
We enjoyed our full day offshore adventure with the Back-n-Black crew. Captain Derek made a great call before the trip started and it paid off with two nice yellowfin tuna. First mate Stephon was very patient in explaining what was going on as well as coaching us while we were fighting the fish. We will be booking with these guys again.
Reported catch:
Yellowfin Tuna

Amazing trip on the Back N' Black
Full Day Trip – Offshore on July 10, 2025
I can't say enough about the crew and the boat, we had an amazing time! Capt. Kenny Nelson and 1st Mate Kenny Koci on the Back N' Black are second to none. I have been on several fishing charters, and I can tell you from experience this boat and crew will do everything within their power to ensure you have the best possible experience. They put in the effort to put you on fish and will change things up as much as necessary to find fish and get them in the boat. Their knowledge of the ocean and passion for fishing is at the highest possible level. The boat itself is a fishing machine. The deck area is massive, and the climate-controlled cabin provides a large area to cool off if you need a break from catching fish. If you want the best chance to catch fish, look no further, this is the boat for you. We are already planning our next trip on the Back N' Black and fully intend on making this an annual experience. Thank you very much to the Back N' Black crew and will see you again soon!!!

Despite the waters being rough, the captain and mate were awesome in making sure we were comfortable and were excellent teachers for my son. We caught a ton of tuna and even a dolphin. Could not have asked for a better time!
