Catch and Cruise NC welcomes you to the stunning waters of Wilmington. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Gabriel knows them forwards and back.

There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Amberjack, Bluefish, Skipjack, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Vermilion Snapper, Scup (Porgy), Bull Shark, and more, depending on the season. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's bow-fishing.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks!

Your vessel for the day is a 29' World Cat that can carry up to 6 passengers (4-5 for best comfort). It has outriggers, downriggers, all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Wilmington for yourself, with Catch and Cruise NC

“Good bait means good fish”
4 Hour Trip – Sharks - 10:00 AM on March 30, 20262 adults4 children
Top comments from our kids (ages 4-12): “I give it a 10 out of 10 stars!” “I loved catching that chonker of a Drum fish.” “Dad, that was the most fun I’ve ever had fishing.” Despite not having the best weather for the trip, Gabe and Brett made the trip memorable. The kids loved going fast on the boat, learning about the different fish and the different baits to catch them. Their excited smiles were well worth it. Thanks again!

8 Hour Trip – Nearshore on April 16, 20262 adults
Nate was our ships captain, he was young, but he knew how to navigate the local waters. We caught a good collection of fish, he was accommodating to our individual needs, and a great time for our day on the water. Very realistic about what we would catch and where, and overall we had a great day on the water. Would highly recommend

5 Hour Trip – Sharks on June 14, 20254 adults2 children
This was one of the best times on a charter we've ever had. I've been on a few of them myself, but this was my son's first one. The captain made it very memorable. We all caught sharks, and other different species we ask to see. Everyone had a good time kids included. I'm not sure exactly what we were hoping for exactly. I do know that it was definitely more than that though I'd definitely book here again.
