Hannah Tucker5.0VerifiedFiancé loved his birthday present!
2 Hour Trip – Customizable Inshore on April 29, 2026 • 2 adultsI booked this experience for my fiancés birthday and we were not disappointed! Captian and first mate were very knowledgeable on what spots were best to fish, identifiying the fish we caught, and they were just all around great! My fiancé caught his first shark and we were able to keep the spanish mackeral that was caught. awesome trip!
Jade Green5.0VerifiedIncredible first fishing experience!!
4 Hour Trip – Customizable Inshore on July 23, 2025 • 5 adultsWe had the best time on the Inshore Lizardfish Charter. Richard and RJ were so helpful and friendly. My kids and I had never really fished before so we just wanted to give it a shot while we were visiting NC… We got so much more than we expected from this fishing trip. We learned about the local ecology, the ICW, and about the area. They’re both so knowledgeable and genuinely happy to share their insight. We all caught lots of fish, and one of the kids caught a massive Black Drum. We stopped at an island to try to get some shark teeth and RJ had the most amazing eye for finding them! We’re so happy to have met these guys. This charter far exceeded our expectations!! Highly recommend!
Kris CozadRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest experience imaginable!
2 Hour Trip – Customizable Inshore on May 29, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 childrenI couldn’t have asked for a better trip! I had a big ask for Capts Rick and Kristen and they absolutely hit a home run with every detail! They were safe with the kiddos, they helped the kiddos catch lots of fish and treated them with respect and overwhelming kindness. Capts Rick and Kristen were supportive of our younger and older kids alike, and they even helped the adults get some fishing time in!! I can’t wait to get out with them again!
Zachary Wojtonek5.0VerifiedFantastic, felt like having a dad
4 Hour Trip – Customizable Inshore on August 18, 2025 • 3 adultsRick and Scott I believe his name was were awesome. We had a lot of fun finding shark teeth hunting and overall a wonderful fishing experience. The crew was fantastic, great vibes and hospitality, super involved in and they want you to catch fish. I plan on coming back and doing another fishing trip with these guys, they were the best! Definitely recommend!
Joe Riffe5.0VerifiedFriendly service and lots of fish.
4 Hour Trip – Customizable Inshore on June 26, 2025 • 5 adultsSmall group from West Virginia. Had a good time catching around 8 different species. Recommend.
Andrew French5.0VerifiedTop notch!
2 Hour Trip – Customizable Inshore on July 29, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childIf you’re looking for a charter and these guys have an opening book with them! Richard and RJ made this experience special for us! They were great with our kids, and even went the extra mile by ending the time helping us find shark teeth! We also caught a few fish, which was a treat too because we got a lot of bites that we just couldn’t haul in. If we are back in Emerald Isle, we will be looking up Lizardfish Charters for another experience with them.
