Breakday Charters is based in Atlantic Beach, NC on the wild and beautiful Crystal Coast. The highly experienced crew knows all the hot spots and always works hard to ensure their guests have a successful day on the water.

Enjoy a ride aboard the 22' Tidewater bay boat, 'Breakday', that can comfortably take up to 4 people fishing. The captain can carry a maximum of 6 guests people but please contact him prior to booking to discuss as it will impact the fishing tactics employed for the day. The vessel has a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots and comes powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. It's rigged with modern electronics including Sonar, Chartplotter, and VHF radio, and equipped with a wireless trolling motor, half tower, and baitwell, making the boat perfect for these waters.

The crew can accommodate any angler's needs. You can go fishing inshore, choosing between tidal rivers, marshes, sounds, and creeks, or nearshore in the ocean weather permitting. Forget work, just choose which fish species you would like to target and step aboard. The local waters offer a lot of angling possibilities, and the crew knows the zone very well.

You'll use quality equipment by leading brands such as Florida Fishing Products, and Temple Fork Outfitters. The crew will show you the best fishing technique to land the fish of your dreams, whether that is trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and popping.

Expect to target Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Weakfish, Whiting, Cobia, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Bonita, False Albacore, Sharks, and who knows what else! Your trip includes, license, and tackle. Once caught, the fish may be cleaned and filleted for you by the crew. Don't forget to bring bags to take home your fillets.

From kids to beginners to record seekers – everybody is welcome. We offer hands on participation and love to teach. Join Breakday Charters for a day out, and you will have an experience you won't soon forget.

    RED FISH TRIP WITH CAPTAIN JUSTIN

    Inshore Half Day Trip (PM) on April 20, 2021 • 3 adults

    It was a great and beautiful day on the water. Captain J ran a bunch of different spots looking for redfish and looking for the right tide. He worked hard keeping our baits fresh, no sitting back and hoping. It started slow but that’s fishing but in the end we found the redfish and finished strong with a bunch of great memories especially for my wife on her first redfish! Thanks Captain J

With a lifetime of fishing experience ranging from babbling Mountain Trout Streams to Gulf Stream waters my love for fishing has been with me since the age of 5. After graduation from college with a degree in Biology my first post school job brought money and my first of many boats opening up a whole new chapter in my fishing story. I enjoy all manners of angling and have always enjoyed fishing and sharing that experience with others. It was always nice to be the one catching, but I soon developed a love for putting other people on fish and seeing the joy it brings to their soul. It was this love that brought me to leave my well paying manufacturing job to earn my living on the water guiding and chartering fishing trips.

    The Baird boys put it to them today. Kept their three drum and released a pile of pumpkins. Gators showed themselves with 2 citation fish @ 26” one of which did not revive despite plenty of resuscitation. Oh well sammiches it is. Kept another pair of 20” class fish for dinner and let the rest swim. A couple of blues and flounders released rounded out the morning. It’s gator season folks, legit shot at the fish of a lifetime. Book today. @breakdaycharters we have your fishing covered #marsh2ocean
