Experience the Outer Banks as never before on I Sea Fish charters. Captain Patrick Heretick invites you to join him and explore some of the greatest inshore and nearshore fishing the East Coast has to offer. This is an angling adventure you don't want to pass on!

As well as an experienced and knowledgeable captain, you'll also benefit from traveling aboard a luxurious hybrid bay boat. The 'I Sea Fish' is a 26' Shearwater hybrid bay boat, capable of cruising both ocean and inshore waters. She can accommodate up to 4 guests, so why not bring along your closest angling buddies?

Equipped with a trolling motor and custom tower built by the captain, the I Sea Fish is structurally sound, well-constructed, and the perfect place to begin your adventure. She has a flared hull that creates a stable, fast, and comfortable ride, and the boat's versatility allows for fishing in a variety of settings.

Capt. Patrick offers a whole host of angling adventures, so what your trip looks like depends on your personal preferences. You could be sight fishing for Cobia on the custom-built tower, testing your skills against hard-fighting Amberjack, or trolling for Mahi Mahi and Mackerel using custom-built rods and lures crafted by the captain himself.

A variety of types of rods, reels, and tackle will be provided, and both bait and lures are included every trip. Capt. Patrick will make sure you're equipped with a fishing license, and will also clean and prepare your catch for you when you return to the dock. All that's left is to come aboard and cast off on an unforgettable adventure with I Sea Fish charters!

    Amberjack after amberjack — an outstanding day with Patrick

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 15, 2026 • 4 adults

    What a fishing session. Patrick really listened to what we were after, and then took us somewhere we never expected — and it paid off big time. We landed plenty of amberjacks, all of them a great size, with some serious fights at the end of the line. You can tell straight away he’s passionate about it: he knows the area, the bottom structure, the fish and the baits inside out. On top of that he’s a genuinely cool, easy-going guy, and he took the time to explain everything to us throughout the trip. If you’re thinking about a trip with Patrick, don’t hesitate. Thanks again, and see you next time!

    Great Red Drum Bite!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on September 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    Had a blast fishing with Captain Patrick. Booked him for a 4 hour trip and we hit the water searching for the Red Drum bite. We had some luck with bluefish early on but the drum didn’t start to bite until later on. Wind started to pick up pretty good but Patrick went above and beyond and kept us out on the water longer so that we could catch the drum we were looking for. We ended up catching a handful of bluefish, 2 slot keeper drum and a nice breeder size drum which we released. Patrick was also very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He made our experience with him very fun.

    Captain Patrick was awesome.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 16, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Our captain was a rockstar, all he cared about was making sure we had a successful day cobia fishing. He went above and beyond, conditions were tough and the fish weren’t cooperating but he still did his best and made sure to get us on fish. We landed one cobia and lost 2 others. He’s a good guy for sure and I would definitely book him again.

    Patrick a Great Fun and Great Boat!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 19, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We took our two young kids on a half day inshore trip with Patrick and caught more Speckled Trout than we could eat! Patrick called us the night before the trip to go over logistics and planned cast netting fun for our kids first thing. We hit several spots and caught fish everywhere. He was very patient with our kids and helped us all have fun. The fishing was a highlight of our trip and we saved his number for our next trip. Definitely recommend Patrick. The boat was also exceptionally clean. A nice bonus.

    Local guide who knew how to fish

    Half Day Trip (PM) on September 10, 2024 • 3 adults

    Capt Pat was the bomb. First cast fish on (speckled trout). Caught some crabs for use catching a black drum. Blues were a bother that required us to move a few times. Mixed in with the catch was story telling. Caught enough fish to feed 6 adults for 2 dinners. Capt Pat filleted the fish (black drum and speckled trout) and shared his favorite recipes. My two older sons and I had a blast. Will def book again.

    Perfect

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 1, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Capt Pat gave us everything we had hoped for. He was very patient with my 13 yr old to get him on the fish and the technique to use the bait. He put us on the fish immediately and when they shut off we went to other spots and got right back on them. He was determined. He gave us everything we expected out of the trip with a bunch of laughs included and sore arms. Thanks again Capt Pat

Great day on the water!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 7, 2026 • 3 adults

This was our 2nd trip with Captain Pat! this time he took us fishing in the ocean for Spanish Mackerel. He taught us everything we needed to know so we could reel in and set up the lines when needed. We saw multiple pods of Dolphins and caught enough fish for the whole family to enjoy some great fish tacos! Thanks Pat!
