Fishing Taxi Sportfishing is a company led by Captain Doug Sullivan, an experienced and knowledgeable angler. A 5th-generation fisherman, he has decades of experience fishing the Atlantic Ocean. His son, Capt. Josh Sullivan, currently runs the "Taxi" after taking over the boat previously run by his father and grandfather.
The company sails out of Wanchese Marina in Wanchese, North Carolina. It is a small fishing community with lots of captains, great spots to wet a line, and battle fish.
Fishing Taxi Sportfishing offers a variety of trips to meet your specific needs. The packages range from short nearshore fishing excursions targeting Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel to full-day Gulf Stream marathons that offer you the chance to put your skills to the test and bring home heaps of fish.
All the gear and lures you will need are provided, so just come along and enjoy a great day on the water. Join the crew aboard the ‘Fishing Taxi, a 36’ Ray Hunt boat, designed specifically for the offshore grounds. She comes powered by a pair of 329 HP Cummins engines and has plenty of fishing and seating space for up to 6 anglers.
The Fishing Taxi is outfitted with electronics, modern technologies, and a range of quality fishing equipment. She features a flybridge and a huge deck area, and there is a bathroom on board for your comfort. Everything is fully fitted out for sportfishing, with a fighting chair and outriggers installed to make your trip one to remember. All aboard!
Capt. Josh Sullivan can’t wait for y’all to come to the Outer Banks and see what you can make a memory of!
