18 Reeler Sportfishing Charters 

Book your next adventure with 18 Reeler Sportfishing Charters and see why anglers keep coming back!

With over 20 years of experience fishing the East Coast, Captain Chris brings serious knowledge and passion to every trip. He got his start as a mate at Bridge Tender Marina in Wilmington, NC while attending UNCW, where he honed his skills and competed in top tournaments like the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament and the White Marlin Open. After seasons chasing sailfish in West Palm Beach and running his own boat, Chris joined the 18 Reeler crew and now fishes full-time out of Pirates Cove.

Depending on the season, these waters are known for Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Dolphin Fish, Wahoo, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and Red Drum, and more.

You'll be fishing aboard the 18 Reeler, a Custom Carolina sportfish powered by twin Cummins diesels, cruising comfortably at 23 knots. With a wide 16' beam and Carolina flare, she delivers a smooth, dry ride offshore. The boat is fully equipped with modern electronics, premium tackle, and an air-conditioned salon with seating and a private restroom for your comfort.

Everything you need is included: rods, reels, tackle, bait, and lures, plus your fishing license. The experienced crew will handle the details so you can focus on the action.

Just bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and your favorite food and drinks, and get ready for an unforgettable day on the water.
