Half Day Trip (AM)

Very nice Boat. Great equipment.

VERIFIED

Was scheduled to a 3/4 day trip for 8 hours.Captain Sam called Wednesday night and said the seas were 6 ft and was going to need to cancel. Was offered our deposit back since the weather was the reason for cancellation. Said we do a inshore 4 hour trip trolling only for smaller fish and was about a 3rd of the price 1st mate Riley was very knowledgeable and took care of all lines and was a great person to fellowship with.We would definitely recommend them and will definitely go again, but want to experience the off shore fishing trip next time..5 stars to the captain and 1st mate

Half Day Trip (AM)

Capt Sam is the Man

VERIFIED

Capt Sam and his mate, Rilley, went out of their way to bring the fish. We only did a half day and they put us on 25 fish to take home. We caught blues and mackerels. I had different expectations being from FL, but Capt Sam knew that the waters here are required to go much further out here in NC. They were both true professionals the entire time and went out of their way to ensure me and my daughters and wife enjoyed the experience. We are now home and enjoying all the fish we caught. One of my best days on the water. I’ll see you guys again the next time we come back to the area for sure!!

Full Day Trip – Offshore

Great fishing experience

We did an all day trip to the Gulfstream with Captain Sam and Riley the first mate. Captain Sam was great, entertaining and very informative. Riley knew exactly what to do and was was great at hooking the fish. He worked extremely hard so that we could have a great experience. We caught several fish including a sailfish. Great fun. I highly recommend the Boat and Captain Sam. It was a great time and when we go to the stream again, we will book it through Captain Sam Rick.

Half Day Trip (AM)

Made the most of bad weather

VERIFIED

Turned out to be a bad weather day for offshore fishing so after talking with Captain Sam the night before we decided to change it up to a half day fishing the inlet for Spanish Mackerel and Blue Fish. Making the change to the reservation on Fishingbooker app was very easy. Turned into a great day, we hauled in 16 Spanish and 8 blue. Captain Sam and 1st Mate Riley were awesome!
