The "Smoker" is a 58-foot custom Carolina charter boat built right here on the Outer Banks by Irving Forbes. In 2016, she became the first of the fleet to forego the traditional paint schemes and techniques in favor of the body wrap technology used in stock car racing.

The "Smoker" is a perpetual project of excellence, flaunting an impressive salon, which undergoes updates and makeovers often to provide anglers with all of the comforts of home, no matter the season or temperature. Twin Caterpillar C-15 engines power her with a cruising speed of 25 knots. This sea-worthy fishing machine has all the essentials to target Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Marlin, Black Seabass, Wahoo, and more.

You will enjoy a warm cabin on those wintery days or a dual air-conditioning system to cool you after the heat of a battle out in the cockpit. You can get your chew on in the ample food-prep area with a microwave and enjoy a well-appointed media center, or you may enjoy simply lazing about in the comfortable seating area.

Take your seat in one of the 3 fighting chairs in the cockpit and gear up with your choice of rods, spinning, or one of our heavyweight 80–130 class rods and reels. Adrenaline junkie? Grab some of the light tackle on board and hook up a chunker! Whatever your weapon of choice, Captain Brynner and First Mate Mike will give you expert guidance to help you conquer your East Coast beast!
