Looking to go fishing in Wanchese? Then, Sea Jay Fishing Charters has a trip with your name on it! With Captain Ryan at the helm of his 24' Privateer you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Enjoy a 4-hour morning or evening trip onboard with all bait and tackle supplied. No need to worry about experience. From beginner to advanced skills we will have a good time. Redfish, Speckled Trout, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Whiting, Flounder, and more are in the cards if conditions are right. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Your vessel for the day is a 24' Privateer that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods,
reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

You can't go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen with Sea Jay Fishing Charters!

Absolutely the Best Charter Experience We’ve Had!
Half Day Trip - 11:30 AM on July 30, 20255 adults
We’ve been on several fishing charters over the years, but Sea Jay Fishing Charters with Captain Ryan stands out as the absolute best. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Captain Ryan clearly knows his stuff—he took us to all the right spots and made sure we were always in the action. We started the day catching our own bait fish, which was a fun and hands-on way to kick things off. After that, we moved on to targeting speckled trout and ended up with 14 beautiful fish—and yes, they were delicious! Ryan was knowledgeable, professional, and just a great guy to spend the day on the water with. If you’re looking for a memorable fishing trip with someone who truly knows how to put you on the fish, book with Sea Jay Charters. You won’t be disappointed!

Great day on the water
Half Day Trip on July 9, 20255 adults
Cpt Tyler grew up in the Wanchese area and knows the Sound very well. He's organic - as noncorporate as you can get. Our party included three generations - my father in law, my brother in law and my son in law. My SIL had never been on a fishing charter before. We had good success w/ speckled trout and caught our limit in the first hour - sometimes having 2 lines hitting at the same time. My FIL caught a nice drum. I've been on plenty of charters where we came back to the dock w/ an empty cooler. There is a processing service on the dock. They will send you home with filets for a reasonable fee. It was a great day.

A Must Do Adventure
Half Day Trip on June 27, 20254 adults
We went out at 7am for a 4 hour fishing trip. It was more than a great time spent. Ryan, the captain is a wealth of knowledge and great personality. We caught some fish and even had a time dealing with sharks. No, we didn’t catch one but there were several around us and it was close. If you want a little adventure and something that will truly provide great memories, look up Ryan at Sea Jay Fishing Charters out of Wanchese, NC.

Sea Jay fishing was great
Half Day Trip - 11:30 AM on June 30, 20256 adults
The boat was well equipped, Captain Ryan was great to work with and very knowledgeable. He took us to a spot where we caught a bunch of larger fish than previous boats we have been on. We will definitely be booking future trips on the Sea Jay. We recommend the Sea Jay to anyone wanting a fun and informative fishing experience.

Captain Ryan was Great
2 hr evening trip on June 15, 20253 adults
Captain Ryan was great. He took us to two nice spots. He helped us out a good bit and he was really nice helping my son catch a nice red drum fish that weighed 7lbs and came in at 27.5 inches long. I would recommend Captain Ryan to any of my friends who like to fish and goes to OBX a lot.
