Carolina Sunrise – CobiaKiller is a charter dedicated to inshore and nearshore fishing on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. You will have a professionally guided trip by Captain Aaron Beatson, so bring the kids to learn or bring the pros - everyone is welcome! This charter is always ready to go in search of Jacks, Redfish, Kingfish and of course - Cobia!

You will go out aboard a 20 foot 1950 custom Carolina performance fishing boat, originally built in 1958, and restored in 2006. This vintage beauty is now powered by a 140 HP Suzuki engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots. That makes it very fast on the shallow and inshore waters of the Outer Banks. The boat is equipped with life jackets for safety and all the electronics needed to get you to the best fishing spots.

You will find the flybridge particularly handy for sight fishing or just taking in the breathtaking scenery of this area. The onboard icebox will be used to store your catch until you return to the shore, so please make sure you bring a cooler of your own to transport the fish home safely.

Carolina Sunrise - CobiaKiller will put you on a wide variety of fish - from the inshore species like Trout, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, and Cobia, to the nearshore species that include King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and Bluefish.

The fishing gear is provided in the form of rods, reels, tackle, lures and live bait. You will have a fishing license as well as a cleaning and filleting service once the trip is over. Captain Aaron will also provide you with drinks so all you have to bring is positive energy. And sunglasses.

If you already have a date in mind, check the captain’s calendar to see if it’s open, book a trip to your liking and get ready for your next fishing adventure!

I can’t say enough good things about our trip with Captain Aaron and Ross From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and Aaron clearly knew all the best spots. we had a great day filled with laughter and sunshine(and a little wind:)

The day was super hot but Captain Aaron was cool
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 21, 20172 adults
Had a great half day on the Carolina Sunrise/Cobiakiller. Captain Aaron was so patient with a not-so-together grandmother, but his experience as a father and fisherman shined when talking and working with my fishing experienced, 11 year old granddaughter. While the fish were not biting on this super hot day, Captain Aaron showed his boating skill by maneuvering his boat in the turbulent waters near the main channel under the new bridge's pilings, giving my granddaughter the thrill of catching about 50 small stripers. It was a joy watching my smiling young angler hook one after another. He finished the day by going far beyond his call of duty by retrieving and delivering our lost cooler. I would definitely recommend and book again on this affordable, inshore boat.

3/4 Day Trip on March 21, 20171 adult
Captain Aaron Beatson is an extremely professional guide with a ton of fishing knowledge that allows him to guide year round, basically knowing where the fish are and what bait is best. He maintains a close contact with other fishing guides who are mutually aware of where each other are located for safety and sharing of the best fishing spots. It was a great fishing trip in spite of windy and cold conditions. He put us on fish and made it all worthwhile. We will be back and look forward to fishing for Cobia. I was very impressed with his handling of the boat in rough conditions. I would highly recommend him as" The Guide" to hire to have a very successful fishing trip! Thank you, Captain, you have my utmost respect.
