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.

4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on August 4, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Chris is an awesome guy. We had a passenger get sick and he handled the situation great. Kept us moving to offset the seasickness and still was able to catch us fish. We'll be a return customer...

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).
