Great Trip Great Captain
3/4 Day Trip on June 19, 20262 adults

On a day when no other boats were catching anything, Captain Ryan took us on a fishing trip that turned out to be an absolute blast. His local knowledge proved invaluable, and he ensured that we had a fantastic time and caught some nice drum . I can’t wait for our next trip with him. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable fishing experience, I highly recommend Captain Ryan. He’s a wealth of knowledge and can answer any questions you may have.

Great Quick Trip
2 hr evening trip on June 10, 20262 adults1 child

We took our 6 year old on his first fishing charter and he had a blast. The weather turned in us before our trip so the fish werent biting great but Caltain Ryan still got us on a some fish for little man. He made the trip entertaining for us all. We got to see some dolphins and a pair of bald eagles as well. Next time we are here we will definitely be giving Captain Ryan a call.

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.

Response from Captain

Thank you guys I had a blast hope to see you all back again!
