Awesome trip!
6 Hour Trip on June 26, 20262 adults

We did a 6hr trip with Captain Christopher and he put us on a bunch of fish. Triggers, Amberjack, Black Seabass and a Cobia. Awesome trip! Captain Christopher is personable and very knowledgeable. Very family friendly. He goes above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable trip. Definitely one of the best Captains in the area. We look forward to fishing with him again.

Awesome Trip!
4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on July 2, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Chris was great! He took our group of 4 to the artifical reef off Nags Head and we were on the fish right away! He then found a great spot for Amberjack. We hooked 4 and landed 2. He was great with the kids, coaching my 14 year old son all the way through reeling in his first big saltwater catch (25lb amberjack).

Reported catch:
Black Seabass

2 Hour Trip – Fishing&Sunset Cruise on June 25, 20262 adults2 children

It was our first fishing trip as a young family so we opted for an easy evening. Chris was phenomenal with his patience and encouragement with the kids. We caught some fish and also got to see dolphins with their young. Highly recommend!!
