    Rocked it again!

    6 Hour Trip – Live Bait/Trolling on September 5, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Second year in a row fishing with Captain Fox and AJ, and they are guys are awesome. Took my two boys out with them again this year and we had an absolute blast. Fox worked his ass off to keep us on fish, and AJ was absolutely Johnny on the spot all day. The guy never stopped moving—baiting hooks, getting lines back out, taking care of the fish, and making sure we always had hooks in the water. He was on top of everything from start to finish. What I really appreciate about these guys is that they don’t just take you out, drop some lines and call it a day. They work. When something isn’t producing, they’re changing things up and trying to find the fish. You can tell they actually care whether you have a good trip. Two years in a row with sprain Fox and AJ, and there’s a reason we came back. We’ll definitely be fishing with Fox and AJ again. I highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

    THE BEST TIME!

    4 Hour Trip – Reef - 1:00 PM on July 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    We seriously enjoyed our trip from start to finish. It was hot and beautiful the whole time. Fox and AJ are great down to earth guys who know what they’re doing and have fun while doing it. Caught all kinds of different fish. Itty bitty to a baby shark (doo doo da doo)😂 We pull into dock and get to watch two huge sea turtles! Then to end our fishing trip, we caught a Trigger fish and AJ cleaned for us while Fox called a great restaurant, Stoked, who cooked it for us! Tasted amazing! You can not have more fun on any other boat! Thank you gents for the great laughs, the shark jump scare, and the slimy stuff AJ all day😂 See you all soon!

    Highly Recommend Fox Sea Lady Charters!

    4 Hour Trip – Reef - 1:00 PM on June 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an absolutely fantastic day on the water with Fox Sea Lady Charters! From the very beginning, their communication was excellent, making the entire booking process easy and stress-free. Captain Fox was awesome, super friendly, calm, welcoming, and incredible with our kids. He made everyone feel comfortable and safe from the moment we stepped on the boat until we returned to the dock. The boat itself was spotless and fully equipped with everything needed for a great day of fishing. A huge shoutout to First Mate AJ, who was absolutely fantastic! He was friendly, welcoming, easy to talk to, and just an all-around pleasure to spend the day with. He worked hard to make sure we had a great experience and even cleaned and filleted all of our catch before we headed home. We booked the 4-hour charter and spent time trolling as well as fishing the reef. The trolling produced plenty of Spanish mackerel, and we even landed a huge king mackerel! Once we moved to the reef, the action was nonstop, we were catching fish one after another, and everyone had a blast. This was one of the best fishing charters we’ve been on, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Fox Sea Lady Charters again, in fact, we can’t wait to plan our next trip. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly, safe, and successful day on the water, we highly recommend them!

    great trip!!!

    5 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on June 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    8-80 the foxy sea lady is the boat to be on!!! great boat, amazing fishing, but best of all was the crew!!!! Fox and Aj took care of us like we were family. They made the experience fun and educational for my kids and i think helped me get 2 new fishermen hooked!! They are willing to give the customer what they want but if you are smart enough to let them be the pros they will do all they can do to put you on fish and most importantly keep you safe. We will see them again soon. Great fishing,great fun, and great stories!!

    Great Captain and First Mate

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 24, 2026 • 6 adults

    We had a great time with Captain Fox and his 1st mate. They were very accommodating with changes to our original scheduled time because of rapidly changing weather. They also were very engaging and helpful when we fished by the reef, identifying the fish we caught and helping us learn a few things. We would be glad to fish with Captain Fox again!

    Wonderful morning fishing on the FoxySea Lady!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time today with our grandson. Captain Johnson knew right where to find the fish, and 1st mate AJ kept them coming. They are a delightful, well-oiled machine. Our grandson reeled in several Spanish Mackerel and was SO HAPPY! He couldn’t wait for me to send him my pics so he could forward them to his friends! Highly recommend!

    6 Hour Trip – Live Bait/Trolling on January 2, 2026 • 5 adults

    Best fishing experience ive had in NC so far! Great boat with an even better Captain and Mate. Super helpful in helping my wife and sister in law with their fishing and bait, while i go to catch as many fish as possibleand enjoy my time. Both Captain and Mate are super friendly and judge free. Waters were a little rough and we were still catch a ton of fish! We limit out on Black Sea Bass within the first hour of actually fishing. Highly recommend to anybody looking to have a great tume fishing.

    Core family memories!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on April 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was a first time adventure for my husband and boys, ages 10 an 9, and what an adventure it was! Fox and AJ and Aiden kept us busy reeling in fish all morning! We switched up reels and bait and locations when biting was light. My 10 year old said this was the best day of his LIFE (I live for those comments!) and they’re begging me to book again this summer. Can’t imagine a better way to spend the day—worth every penny. Highly recommended!
