Ready to Break Away from the Ordinary? Let’s Go Fishing.
Escape the everyday and dive into the thrill of open-water fishing aboard the Capt. Stacy VII—a private charter experience departing from the vibrant Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. Whether you're casting your first line or chasing your personal best, this trip isn’t just about fishing—it’s about adventure, memories, and the kind of stories you'll tell for years.
With over three decades navigating the rich waters of the Crystal Coast, Captain David knows exactly where the action is. Alongside him, First Mate Cody keeps everything running smooth, friendly, and fun—from the first cast to the final catch.
Choose your journey—anywhere from 4 to 11 hours—and chase a variety of prized species including Spanish mackerel, bluefish, grouper, snapper, triggerfish, and more. Every trip is tailored to the season, the weather, and your goals on the water.
Your ride? A 41-foot classic built by Rose Brothers in 1954 and lovingly restored in 2016. The Capt. Stacy VII combines vintage charm with modern comfort—featuring a private restroom, an icebox to chill your drinks, and fighting chairs ready for when the real action starts. With room for up to six guests, it's the perfect setup for families, friends, or serious anglers.
We’ve got everything covered: rods, reels, bait, tackle—even your fishing license. All you need to bring is a cooler, some snacks, and your sense of adventure. And when you return to the dock? Let the pros clean and fillet your catch for just $0.80 per pound—ready for the grill or freezer.
This isn’t just another boat ride. This is your next favorite day.
Book your trip on the Capt. Stacy VII today and make the water your playground.

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM)
My wife and I booked a private charter and couldn't have been more satisfied. We did a nearshore trip. Next time we will do more offshore. Captain Dave and First Mate Corey were very personable and a lot of fun. I will request them again. Well worth the price. Also learned a lot from there experince.
