Capt BC Sportfishing

Running angling trips out of Nags Head, Capt BC Sportfishing invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Buddy aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, and kite fishing. You’re looking at an 11-hour trip where you’ll usually go after the likes of Marlin, Dolphin, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Tuna, depending on the weather and time of year.

The Capt BC is a Buddy Cannady with an overall length of 60’ and an 18’ beam. The signature BC flare and the 1000 H.P. Cat engine generate a speed of 29 knots. She was built in 1999 by the legendary Buddy Cannady for himself to be run as his personal charter boat out of Oregon Inlet. This would end up being the last boat he built for himself and ran until he retired from the charter industry.

She has since spent her time fishing in the Gulf Stream off of Oregon Inlet and Virginia Beach. The salon is made for comfort and relaxation. It is heated and cooled and has amenities such as a TV, DVD, XM radio, refrigerator, and microwave. She is equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, tournament-quality tackle, and a spacious cockpit and outdoor mezzanine.

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.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.
