Explore the amazing fishing opportunities of the Outer Banks with STOLAT Fishing LLC. Gulf Stream, Deepwater Wreck/Bottom, or Inshore Ocean – STOLAT has a trip for you.

STOLAT Fishing Charters welcomes any angler to fish with them. Captain Paul and his mate have over 40 years of experience and take pride in providing the right trip for you and your group. Whether you are a seasoned fisherman, beginner, or family group with young children, you're in good hands.

STOLAT offers a large variety of trips. The Gulf Stream Trip is the ultimate fishing adventure, and lets you experience big game fishing at its finest. This trip targets Tuna, Marlin, Dolphin (Mahi), and Wahoo.

Fill your cooler with delicious fish on a Deepwater Wreck/Bottom trip. This is STOLAT's Specialty. Definitely our most productive trip which seasonally targets Tilefish, Black Seabass, Snowy Grouper, and Triggerfish.

If you prefer a shorter boat ride, we offer 4, 6, and 8-hour inshore ocean trips. Seasonally, these trips will target Spanish and King Mackerel, Bluefish, Ribbonfish, Cobia, False Albacore, or maybe even sharks.

Your trip includes everything necessary for fishing – all rods, tackle, bait, and plenty of ice for your catch. The professional mate will help you every step of the way, and dockside fish cleaning is always available.

You'll fish aboard a clean, fast and comfortable 42' Twin Diesel Sportfishing Boat. There is plenty of room to move around in the spacious cockpit, an air-conditioned cabin, and a clean private head which is not available on many smaller Outer Banks charter boats.

Come fish with a professional, experienced crew. We are a full-sized ocean fishing boat, not a small, outboard guide boat. STOLAT always prioritizes your comfort and safety and does not take people out in bad sea conditions. Their business was built on offering quality fishing trips to meet your fishing expectations and your budget.

Good catch!
6 Hour Trip – Inshore Ocean on May 27, 20264 adults

I have been fishing in the OBX for years and after the last few years I made it a point to find a new captain. I explicitly stated I did not want to come back with nothing but blue fish. Obviously there is no way to just catch one type of fish in the ocean and Paul let helped give other suggestions like offshore and wreckage trips. However, we were more keen to stay inshore on this trip. All in all we caught 4 blues and the others were spanish mackerel (what I was looking for). I am not sure if we just got lucky or this was due in part to captain Paul knowing the area so well. Either way I couldn’t have been happier with our trip and would recommend him to others! Little Paul was great too! Oneal’s was also fantastic for fresh fish we did not catch and wanted.

Reported catch:
Bluefish (Tailor)
Spanish Mackerel

Thank you Dan, you guy's were a pleasure to have fishing with us, and even though we didn't kill it, it was a great time! As far as my strategy, you told me multiple times that you didn't want Bluefish, so yes, it was my plan to do what I did, I just wish it was a little better than what it was, but I definitely wasn't disappointed in our catch, it was definitely pretty good for what the morning was. We hope to see back in the near future. Thanks again

Great time and a lot of fish
Half Day Trip – Inshore Ocean/Sound - 10:30 AM on August 12, 20254 adults2 children

We recently went on a fishing trip and had an amazing experience! Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable, knowing exactly where to take us so the fish were biting. We caught plenty and had a great time from start to finish. One thing that really stood out was how considerate the captain was, especially since we had a young child with us. He made sure to keep things safe and fun for everyone, even taking a moment to stop and give our little one the chance to pull in his own fish — which absolutely made his day! Between the great fishing, the captain’s expertise, and the thoughtful touches that made the trip enjoyable for all ages, we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend!

Response from Captain

Thank you very much, we take a lot of pride in what we do. We love to have all kinds of groups on the boat, from experienced to beginners, and everything in between, but our favorite is children! My boy's were very young when I introduced them to fishing, and now one of them (Paul) is my mate, and works very hard to make sure everyone is included and has a great time. It was a pleasure to have you guys on the boat, and hope to see you back in the near future. Dziekuje!!

a good time
Half Day Trip – Inshore Ocean/Sound - 10:30 AM on June 29, 20264 adults

Both Captain Paul and First Mate Paul were friendly and accommodating. Captain Paul was communicative before the trip and the first mate was a wealth of knowledge during. Great trip for beginners. At some times we had all four fishing poles with catch on them. Wear sunscreen and comfy clothes. Flip flops were fine. We caught blue fish and spanish mackerel.

Reported catch:
