Family Time Fishing Charters
Family Time Fishing Charters is run by Captain Justin Hill, who is fully licensed through the United States Coast Guard and insured for your fishing adventure. Launching from Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, you can join Capt. Justin on the surrounding nearshore and offshore waters for an exciting half day, full day or 11-hour Gulf Stream charter. Captain Justin spends a great amount of time on the water to ensure that you have a fun and successful fishing trip with Family Time Fishing Charters. He enjoys sharing his wealth of knowledge of sport fishing with others, and hopes to ignite a passion for the sport in the future generations.
Step aboard his Custom Buddy Harris Sport Fisher, which is powered by Detroit Diesel with 735 horsepower. Not only is the boat fast, but it also offers a stable fishing platform, and comes equipped with modern Garmin electronics and quality safety gear. It can comfortably accommodate up to six anglers with its wide and spacious deck and Salon that features plenty of seating. The boat is also fitted with heat, A/C, outriggers, downriggers, live bait tank, private bathroom with full toilet, and an icebox to keep both your day’s catch and your refreshing drinks and snacks chilled during the day.
Capt. Justin specializes in light and heavy tackle, trolling, drift and bottom fishing, and uses only high-quality gear such as Shimano Tiagra reels for offshore trips, and lightweight state-of-the-art rods and reels for inshore and live bait trips. No matter if you are new to fishing, or are a seasoned pro, Capt. Justin has a trip suitable for all skill levels. He will get you targeting species such as Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Wahoo, Sharks, Amberjack, Sailfish, Black Sea Bass, Grouper, and more. Trips include rods, reels and terminal tackle, lures, live baits, fishing licenses, as well as cleaning of your catch at the end of the day.

Great Experience
Our family had an awesome time even though it rained the entire trip. The Captain and Mate were very good at communicating what they were doing, what we were to do, and finding the fish! At one point, each of us four had a fish hooked at the same time. Definitely a memorable experience. We are looking forward to going out again.

Amazing trip
We had an awesome trip, the crew members were awesome and were very knowledgeable about what we should expect as far as the fishing experience, after catching over a dozen smaller sized Spanish mackerel we told them we wanted something with a little more fight to it and they were absolutely down for the challenge. We managed to catch two sharks and it wouldn’t have happened without the Captain and First mate!

Making hay when the un didn't shine!
Captain Justin and Mate Austin brought their "A" game on a cold and blustery day. Within 15 minutes of leaving the dock they had the boat and our party of four on the fish. Despite the cold weather we were able to stay warm due to the hot fishing. We quickly caught our personal limits and the boat limit. Counting those we kept and the "catch and release" and "catch and escape" fish we easily surpassed the century mark. Twice all four of us brought in fish at the same time. No pictures are available as we were too busy catching fish. Our thanks to both Captain and mate for the fantastic adventure. We will definitely be back.

Great Trip!
Captain Justin and First Mate Trevor were top notch. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. They got us on the mackerel right away and were catching them the entire trip. The air-conditioned cabin was clutch to cool off for a few minutes in between catches since we had a heat advisory that week. Thank you guys for a great time and keep up the good work. We hope to be able to book this charter next year.

I took my three grandsons ages 13,12,10 and we had a blast. We caught so many fish. The captain and mate was so much fun and really made this fishing tripp enjoyable and fun. We ended up with about 77 nice size fish. We stayed busy just bring the fish in one after another. We strongly recommend booking the boat for your next fishing trip. We thank you from the Bruno family from Hot Springs Village AR
