Atlantic Blue Charters

Based out of Sneads Ferry, Atlantic Blue Charters has everything needed for a fun-filled day fishing these waters!

Capt. Drew is obsessed with fishing, and he’ll go above and beyond to show you an outstanding experience. You’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and spinning, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 4 to 12-hour trips, you can target species like King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Seabass, Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, and Wahoo, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

You’ll be fishing from a 28’ sportsman boat with enough room for up to 5 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet, ice box, and wireless trolling motor. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain, so you don’t have to worry about it.

You will share the catch with the crew, contact the captain before the trip if you have any questions about keeping the catch. Capt. Andrew runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done. There will be complimentary drinks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer. Kids are welcome aboard.

I grew up fishing in the Topsail area. Fishing has always been my passion ever since I was young. As a child, getting out on the water with my dad was the best of times, for this reason, I always love the opportunity to take people out to show them why I love fishing these waters and to just enjoy some time with family and friends.
