Jill Louise Headboat – 50' Evans
*** WITH THE RISING COST OF FUEL, THE PRICE INCLUDES THE 10% FUEL SURCHARGE . THANK YOU.
The Jill Louise with Captain Dave can hold up to 30 people. The boat can hold large private or public groups. The $90 per person price is for a public trip. Jill Louise isn't your average Headboat; she’s agile and able to get you into the skinny waters where other headboats can't get to. Please inquire about our private trip prices. Wanchese has a fish with your name on it, so let Outer Banks Charter Fishing Adventures help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Keith can tell you all about them.
Species like Flounder, Whiting, Bluefish, Mackerel, Black Seabass, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Pompano, Redfish, Gray Triggerfish, Weakfish, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 50’ Evans headboat with a capacity for 30 passengers. It comes with outriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water, including an ice-cold air-conditioned cabin! There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you aboard.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain. Please bring sunblock. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid glass bottles.
NOTE: We need 15 people to make a trip go.
No shared Bachelor parties only private trips.

Half Day Trip – Private - 10:30 AM on June 23, 2026 • 8 adults • 4 childrencaptain Dave and Cole were awsome. had 4 grandsons age 7-11 and all caught fish. 29 total. Cole was great explaining how what and why to the kids with everyting he did. and he worked his butt off keepin up with all the fish they were catching. boat is great, smooth ride and roomy. even later in the day when waves started getting large it was great. overall awesome first ocean fish trip for grandsons.
Nate Cypher5.0VerifiedBlues and memories
Half Day Trip – Private on October 14, 2026 • 14 adults • 5 childrenWe had a great trip! Plenty of action with the blues trolling. Multiple doubles and triples, which resulted in some bantering and tangled lines. Captain Josh and First Mate Cole ran their butts off keeping the lines in the water. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend!
Leo SkibaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFishingbooker should be ashamed
Half Day Trip – Private on June 17, 2026 • 8 adults • 2 childrenI didnt get both sides of the story but if half of what I heard is true fishingbooker should be ashamed of blocking this great boat and crew from being booked on their site. I understand guide/customer disputes are difficult but blocking a service this good is a travesty.
Sarah Bailey5.0VerifiedFamily fun
3/4 Day Trip – Private on May 26, 2026 • 8 adults • 1 child10/10 would recommend! We went out for a halfday inshore trip and the fish were biting. Huge shoutout to Cole, who was an awesome deckhand and kept us entertained the whole time. OBX has a lot of charters, but we've officially found our go to for next time! 🐟 🐿️
Chad BerrierRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip !
Half Day Trip – Private - 10:30 AM on June 16, 2026 • 10 adultsCaptain put us on the fish at the first stop. Caught lots of triggerfish. Did some trolling and caught about 20 Spanish and a few blues. Had a great time. First mate Cole worked hard and took good care of us. Would recommend for sure.
Beth Todd5.0VerifiedGreat family fishing trip!
Half Day Trip – Private - 10:30 AM on August 1, 2024 • 8 adults • 4 childrenCole and Dave of the Jill Louis HeDboat did a fantastic job! With fours kids ages 8-11 having never done this type of fishing before we were nervous how they would be received. Cole did a great job walking the group through what to do and made sure the kids understood what to do. Dave walked us through our options of where we could fish, we opted for the sea over the sound and it did not disappoint. On the way out there were multiple dolphin sightings that the captain slowed for and allowed the kids to observe them passing. The quantity of fish caught far exceeded our expectations! The kids out caught the adults and Cole and Dave were right there supporting them. The kids are looking forward to the next trip. We will be back to the Jill Louis in the future! Highly recommend this boat for any group with kids.
Teresa Schlueter5.0VerifiedWonderful family fishing trip!!
Half Day Trip – Private - 3:00 PM on June 3, 2025 • 10 adultsCaptain Dave and crew mate Cole were amazing. They worked so well together making everything run smoothly. For a group of rookies this trip was amazing. Cole took time to teach the teens how to unhook the fish and was very patient as we all learned how to pull in the hand lines. Everyone had a great time. Our entire group would recommend this crew for anyone looking to do a family fishing trip.
Brooke Norman5.0VerifiedGreat family fishing trip!
Half Day Trip – Private - 12:30 PM on April 23, 2025 • 10 adults • 3 childrenOur family—ages 8 through 84–had an amazing day with capt Dave and first mate Cole. They couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful on a chilly spring day with a big multi aged group. We caught a lot of fish and had a great time! We’ll definitely book with them again and send anyone else looking for a great day on the water!
Tyler Watchus5.0VerifiedAmazing trip on the water!
Half Day Trip – Private - 10:30 AM on May 8, 2025 • 7 adultsCaptain Dave and Cole were amazing. They took the 7 of us and put us on the fish. The fish were bitting the whole trip. Was well worth it, and we will definitely be back for a longer trip. Boat was spectacular and couldn’t have been better for the sunny day. We can’t wait to come back!
Joseph Riley5.0VerifiedGreat Experience
Half Day Trip – Shared - 12:30 PM on April 30, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWhen you charter a boat, you want to catch Fish. Capt Dave and Cole put us on the fish and we killed it! We had a mixed group of adults and kids under 13 yo and everyone caught fish. Both Capt Dave and Cole were working hard to get the fish in the boat and keep the lines with fresh bait. Highly recommend!
