Nancy Lee Fishing Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Swansboro. Your guide for the day is Captain Tesse, allowing you to benefit from years of angling experience.

These waters are known for Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Grunt, Gray Triggerfish, Amberjack, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Cobia, Bluefish, Albacore Tuna, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Young ones are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be welcome aboard a 43' Headboat with room for 16 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, that's fine too. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Nancy Lee Fishing Charters.

Family Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 31, 20256 adults8 children
This was an awesome excursion for a large group. We had 7 teens and 4 adults. Everyone had a place and could even swap. Our hooks kept bait on them after casting and catching or fish eating the bait. We had a couple seasick and they provided a couple cooking towels. Take the Dramamine 30 min to 1 hr before you go. It was beautiful weather, and we even saw dolphins. We opted for them to clean and filet our fish so we had them for dinner too! Highly recommend.

We had a great time! The captain and crew were outstanding! They kept us on the fish and were super attentive. Family outings are a specialty of the boat, and I can see why. The boat is very roomy and rides well. I highly recommend them!!!
