"Moana" was built by Outer Banks legend, Buddy Cannady. She is a well-appointed, 55 foot custom built sport fishing yacht boasting such amenities as a TV, CD player, refrigerator, and microwave. The salon is roomy and comfortable with clean restrooms, heated, and air-conditioned. But, let’s talk about the fishing! Captain Brad (aka- Bluefin Brad) is ready to put meat in the box or add another billfish flag to your collection. The "Moana" is stocked with the finest tackle allowing you options of light 20 lb stand up gear or 130 lb class rod & reel, and ample deck space to allow a stand up fight or seated in 1 of 3 fighting chairs. The "Moana" is equipped with the latest in navigational technology and fish finder electronics. For the safety of our passengers, we also have an E-PIRB device and commercial life raft. When you pair the technology with the experience and knowledge of Captain Brad and first mate Nick, you’ve got a winning combination for your trip out on the "Moana"!
We welcome children and first timers ans we will walk you thru the whole process. We understand that it can be a little intimidating going offshore for the first time, but rest assured you’re in good hands on the “Moana.” We will make the day most enjoyable for the entire party.

Full Day Trip – Offshore on May 27, 2025
Prior to this trip we knew the weather would be a huge factor. 7-8 boats went out this morning. Captain Greg did an excellent job with handling the boat in less than optimal seas. We got into some fish and several made it to the cooler but the seas and weather were against us all day. First Mate Nick was beyond outstanding and works harder than anyone I know. We didn’t catch or bring home the amount we had hoped but what an awesome experience with Captain Greg and Nick. Will definitely rebook next time we are in town. Thank you guys.

Have been off shore fishing for over 30 years and Captain Brad and his first mate Nick are GREAT. They not only know what they are doing when it comes offshore fishing, they are super nice people that understand the value of real customer service. Plus, the Moana has the perfect set up and in tip top shape. I highly recommend this boat and team if you are looking for an opportunity forgettable off shore fishing experience
