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.

Half Day Morning Trip

Great Trip!

VERIFIED

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.

Spanish Mackerel and Shark Fishing

VERIFIED

Captain Justin and first mate Trevor did an amazing job getting us out on the water efficiently and immediately hooked up to some Spanish mackerel. They were both open to what type of fishing we wanted to do, and had some great boat music! Trevor did an amazing job getting the fish into the boat, changing out rods, coaching us on what to do, and replacing the rigging when it was damaged. 10/10!

Gulf Stream 11 Hour Trip

Excellent Trip!

VERIFIED

This was by far the best charter trip I have ever taken. Captain Justin and his mate were welcoming from start to finish and put us on plenty of fish. They felt like fellow fisherman enjoying the trip while still providing excellent service. The boat and gear was also maintained very well. I would recommend Family Time Fishing Charters to any anglers wanting a memorable trip.
