We had an amazing experience from start to finish! The captain was friendly, professional, and worked hard to make sure we had a successful day on the water. The boat was clean, the equipment was in great shape, and everything was well organized. The captain was knowledgeable about the area, kept us on fish, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or trying it for the first time, this charter is well worth it. Thank you for an unforgettable day and memories we'll never forget. We highly recommend this charter and will definitely be booking another trip! Thanks Drew and JP!
Half Day Trip- We headed out about 10 miles after catching some bait in the inlet. They immediately put us on Amberjack. We caught about (10) 30lb jacks in just a few hours. If youve never caught one, get ready for a work out! Fun stuff! Great Captain , great first mate, great boat. You wont be disappointed. Cant wait until next time. Also, i had left my yeti on the boat. The evening after our trip, captain Drew called me to tell me he found it, and that he would meet me the following afternoon to return it. We met up the following day. A true testament to the type of guy Captain Drew is. Im having a beer in that yeti right now😉, cheers and tight lines! -Big Eddie
Our party of five adults. (3 men 2 women) were well taken care of by the great crew of the DREADKNOT. Drew and J.P. are total pros in their knowledge about fish, fishing gear and equipment, safety practices, and weather. We were briefed on the features of the boat, the emergency procedures, and plans for the day. With their guidance and assistance when needed, we were more than happy with our catch of the day! Drew and J.P. made it fun. They were accommodating, and fair. These are two good guys who have a good thing going! We’ll be back!
Spent an awesome day out on the water with Drew and JP. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew to spend the day with. Weather was perfect, Drew and JP were super knowledgeable and fun!!! We had a blast with them and caught some great fish to take home! We will definitely be back and be booking with DreadKnot again! Thanks for a great day guys!!
Captain Drew and JP were awesome. Extremely patient and knowledgeable! We caught a monster barracuda and a few other good size ones as well. The weather wasn’t cooperating, but Captain Drew knew multiple other spots to put us back on the fish. We ended up with a nice variety of good eaters. Mate JP was was very informative and patient with us as we learned. i would 10/10 recomend this charter to anyone lookong from novice to experienced angler.

Been fishing since I was a little kid. Spent time in the Army out of high school and was a pilot for a military contracting company for 8 years. Retired from that and started running trips full time in 2019. Been guiding in the topsail beach/sneads ferry area ever since.
