Irvin Garrish Highway 205
Ocracoke, NC, United States

Ocracoke has a fish with your name on it, so let Off Island Adventures help you catch it! With Captain Jimmy at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

You’re likely to go after Flounder, Bluefish, Black Drum, African Pompano Jack, Cobia, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, and more if you come at the right time of year.

During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 24’ Skiff that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials.

Capt. James will provide rods and reels for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid glass bottles.

Off Island Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Ocracoke. So, how about booking that trip?

Fantastic Time - Captain Jimmy is the best!!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore Halfday (AM) on August 30, 20252 adults
I’ve been on a couple fishing charters, and none match up to how fantastic this charter was. I brought my teenaged sister, who has always wanted to go on a fishing charter, and thankfully Captain Jimmy was kind enough to take us out not just in the Ocracoke inlet, but out in the ocean due to good conditions. He was simultaneously informative about Ocracoke, the diverse fish population we caught, and the Outer Banks while helping us reel in a mix of Spanish mackerel, groupers, sea bass, blue fish, and bonitas! It was truly a wonderful time, and he was especially attentive to making sure we weren’t sea sick and had enough water (which was much appreciated)! Afterwards Captain Jimmy went above and beyond in finding someone to help us prepare our fish too - even dropping it off at our hotel! Truly a positive experience and I highly highly recommend this to anyone interested.

Great trip
4 Hour Trip – Inshore Halfday (AM) on July 25, 20253 adults
We booked an in-shore trip with Jimmy on 7/23/25 knowing we were going out in the “slow” season. Within 15 mins. of leaving the dock we had 7 Blue fish on board. We were interested in trying our luck on some sheepshead. First time the three of us fished sheepshead and within 20 seconds of dropping lines we had a beautiful fish in the cooler. We learned so much from Jimmy about fishing these famously elusive fish and he put us over top of them every time. What our party of three lacked in skill on the bait stealing sheepshead was redeemed by the steady action with the sea bass that made the trip even more successful. The icing on the cake was the beautiful clear Caribbean waters that gave us an opportunity to see various species of ocean life including two loggerheads swimming around the boat. Capt. Jim is equal parts angler, historian, teacher and heckler. And we were there for all of it. Great trip with a great captain. Don’t miss it.

We had a great time with Captain Jimmy. He was very courteous, he gave us info about the area and he put us on the fish. We tried several techniques and locations and if the fish were not there or not biting we moved on. Today we hit the motherload of bluefish and had a blast. Thank you so much.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore Halfday (AM) on May 14, 20254 adults
Our favorite fishing trip to date! Not only did we catch a bunch of fish, the Captain went above and beyond during our trip. Even going so far as to turn the boat around so my mother in-law could take photos with her now husband in front of the place they were married from the oceans view. We will absolutely do this again on our October trip. If you're unsure about booking, here is your sign to book now!🎣🛥
