If you’re in OBX and looking for a charter, these are the guys you want to go with hands down. We had a group of 4 and they gave us a trip of a lifetime. nothing but positive things to say about this crew.
Thank you guys SO much! I can’t wait to see the YouTube video!
Do yourself a favor and book these guys. Captain Zachary was extremely accommodating with us and knew the best spots to hit. 10/10 will book again!
We really appreciate you guys fishing with us! Already excited for next time!
We booked a 10 hour near shore, sadly the week we came down we had some rough weather so couldn't get much past the inlet but did have a pretty good time fishing the inlet and sound. Zach and Noah were awesome with the kids. And the boat was in great shape and well kept. Nobody on the water caught much that day but we still managed a pretty good catch of blue and some Spanish mackerel. Along with plenty of Spanish a bit too small to keep.
Thanks so much you guys! You guys made the best of some tough conditions. Some fish in the box and some cooler weather and fun people was the recipe for a good day. Enjoy and look forward to having you back!
Weather was awesome and the fishing was even better. Zack and Tanner were amazing at what they do and open to sharing the knowledge. We all had fun and my 8 year son loved the attention and the fish, said "it's the best day ever". Wanted some drum but they were hiding out and didn't want to play, the mackerel and the blue were plenty of fun.
Thanks so much! We really appreciate you guys and look forward to next time!
If you want to book an offshore we definitely recommend you book with Captain Zack and Cost of living Charters! Zack and his first mate Noah was so laid back and made the trip so much fun. We started out on Dolphin, then we got into the tuna. Hooked a monster shark the the five of us fought to get it to the boat. We then got into the Jack and caught them to we couldn’t fight anymore. We will definitely book with Cost of living Charters again. One of the funniest days we have ever had!
Thank you guys so much for fishing with us. You guys were a blast! Enjoy the fish and hopefully we’ll see you again!

My grandfather and father were both avid fishermen so I've been fishing from a young age. Everything from panfish in a pond to offshore Billfish tournaments, I love to fish.
