Raider Spirit Sportfishing
Raider Spirit Sportfishing
Raider Spirit Sportfishing is your gateway to world-class fishing on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. Led by Captain Adam, a highly experienced angler and Marine Special Operations veteran, you'll fish with a captain who brings military precision, tournament-proven tactics, and a true passion for the sport.
These rich offshore waters are home to some of the East Coast’s most exciting species. Depending on the season, you might battle Wahoo, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Skipjack, Black Seabass, and more. Whether you're trolling big tackle in the Gulf Stream for offshore giants or enjoying a relaxed day of bottom fishing for tasty reef fish, we’ll tailor the trip to your goals and experience level.
You’ll fish aboard a 31’ Cape Horn center console that’s fast, spacious, and fully rigged for action. Outfitted with outriggers, downriggers, and all the gear needed for high-performance fishing, the boat comfortably fits up to 6 guests and includes a marine toilet for convenience on longer trips.
Families and first-timers are welcome! We love helping kids reel in their first fish. Ask if child-sized life jackets are available, or feel free to bring your own. Snacks and non-glass beverages are welcome onboard. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but please avoid hard liquor and glass containers.
All trips include rods, reels, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, and a skilled First Mate to keep everything running smoothly. Mates work hard to deliver a successful day on the water, so tips of 10–20% are always appreciated.
Bring bottled water, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen (no spray), a hat, and a cooler for your catch. Some fish may have seasonal or size restrictions—Captain Adam will ensure your trip stays safe, fun, and compliant with local regulations.
Whether you're chasing tournament-caliber billfish or just an unforgettable day on the ocean, Raider Spirit Sportfishing delivers the ultimate adventure!

8 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore
Great times found here!
Captain Adam knows these waters well! I prioritized Veteran Owned and wanted someone focused and driven to get us what we wanted. In our case (out of season for what we wanted) that meant managing our expectations even if it meant losing a booking. We had a blast, even though the fishing was slow. We caught a few and got our time on the ocean and saws things we've never seen before! I would 💯 recommend reaching out to Caprain Adam if you are interested in any of his charter options. See what he says compared to others. You'll see the difference before you even book!

10 Hour Trip – Offshore
Awesome Trip
From start to finish, this offshore fishing charter was nothing short of spectacular — the kind of trip that leaves you already planning your next one before you even step back on shore. If you love salt air, battling the blue waters, and hauling in big fish, do yourself a favor and book this experience now. Captain Adam navigated with confidence, choosing the perfect spots where fish were active. He gave us clear tips, explained techniques, made sure everyone was involved, and even helped celebrate every catch. We weren’t just casting lines — we were catching. The crew switched up strategy — trolling to bottom fishing — to keep the action moving. If you want real offshore fishing — the kind where you walk away tired, smiling, and with stories — this charter is the gold standard. For anyone from first-timers to hardened anglers, it delivers. I can’t wait to go back!

10 Hour Trip – Offshore
Numerous offshore trips and tournaments
I’ve had the opportunity to fish with Adam on multiple offshore trips and in three tournaments. I can’t say enough good things about him and his operation. He’s extremely knowledgeable, competent, and knows the waters off the North Carolina coast better than most I’ve fished with. Every trip is well planned, professional, and a great time on the water. If you’re looking for a first-class offshore fishing experience, look no further—this is the charter you want! If you have additional questions, request my contact information and it will be provided.

12 Hour Trip – Gulf Stream
Incredible Experience
I’ve always been more of an inshore angler and had concerns with offshore. My first time offshore with Raider Spirit was an experience of a lifetime! The Captain was patient, caring and very knowledgeable. He answered any questions and concerns I had. I felt safe and was able to enjoy the experience of reeling in big fish in the big blue. I absolutely will book with this charter business again. Thank you for an incredible experience!

10 Hour Trip – Offshore
Full day off shore
Raider Spirit was by far one of the best offshore fishing charters I have even been on. Are full day of offshore fishing was loaded with nothing but good times good vibes and lots of fish. The boat was very well maintained and taken care of and it is a very nice boat and the captain did an amazing job navigating the boat while we were offshore. And all of the guys on deck were amazing and | will definitely be booking another charter with raider spirit.
