Country Girl Fishing Charters
Welcome to Country Girl Charters – Outer Banks Fishing at Its Finest
The legacy of Outer Banks fishing is alive and well at Country Girl Charters. Custom built in 1990 by legendary Outer Banks boatbuilder Buddy Can
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mako Shark, Blackfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, and anything else that bites. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Charles can also help you try kite fishing.
You're welcome to take home the fish you catch, provided they're within limits. Now that's dinner! You can also have your catch cleaned at the dock for an additional fee.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Your day begins aboard a custom-made 57' Buddy Cannady offshore sport fishing vessel with room for 12 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip 10-20% to show your appreciation.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. It's recommended to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Country Girl Fishing Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Manteo. So, how about booking that trip?

Jason Huehn5.0VerifiedSuccessful family fishing trip
Nearshore Mid Day 10:30am-2:30pm on August 27, 2026 • 8 adults • 3 childrenGreat family fishing experience the captain Charles got us right on the fish first couple minutes the lines went in the water. The deckhand Nate was also great with the kids and very helpful with our kids ( which god bless him they can be a handful). All in all we caught about 30ish fish all together including mackerel, spanish mackerel, blue fish and some jacks. I will absolutely book another trip! as always thanks for a fun filled time
Ben Gates5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!
4 Hour Trip – Afternoon Nearshore on July 16, 2026 • 8 adults • 3 childrenWe had an amazing fishing trip! We caught a ton of fish and had a great time from start to finish. The first mate was absolutely fantastic with my kids—patient, helpful, and made sure they had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this crew to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip!
Kate Nugent5.0Verifiedgreat trip!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 17, 2026 • 7 adultsWe had 7 adults on the boat and we all had a great time. Charles and Lee were excellent (and super patient for those of us with little fishing experience!)
Michael Carnevale5.0VerifiedWhat a great experience!
4 Hour Nearshore on July 21, 2025 • 8 adults • 2 childrenWe came for a family vacation and Captain Charles made this fishing trip one less thing to worry about, his communication was great from the moment we booked the trip. The day of the trip we boarded the boat which was clean and spacious. His 2 mates were very respectful and engaging the whole time. Everyone had a great trip, wish we would have booked a longer time. Thanks Captain and Crew!!
Shawn McginnessRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day and great catch.
4 Hour Nearshore on September 4, 2025 • 9 adults • 4 childrenCaptain and first mate took great care of our 8 person party. Had children and the one old uncle on board.. lol. Everyone had a great cruise to the fishing grounds and then we nailed some nice sized fish right out the gate. The views were spectacular. Crew did great job handling the kids. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Neil Mohardt5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
4 Hour Nearshore - 3:00 PM on July 29, 2025 • 7 adultsWe did 4 hour afternoon trip. The captain spotted a school of Mahi and within minutes fish after fish. Caught 66 total. Mates were friendly and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We were able to get catch cleaned and cooked perfectly at restaurant right in Marina. Exceeded expectations and highly recommend.
Arthur Miller5.0VerifiedFirst class customer service
Full Day Trip – Offshore on April 11, 2025 • 8 adultsFrom the luanch to return being aboard the Country Girl with Capt.

Laura Dize5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
4 Hour Nearshore AM on August 7, 2024 • 8 adultsWe went out on the Country Girl for a half day near shore trip. The weather held out for us but still a rougher day than expected, Captain Charles did a great job handling the boat and we were able to catch 42 ribbon fish! We spent the second half of the trip in the sound and caught a mackerel and some blue fish. Over all a wonderful trip even given the rougher weather. We will be booking Country Girl again on future vacations!
Kris Wray5.0VerifiedLet's Go BABY!!!!
4 Hour Nearshore - 3:00 PM on August 12, 2025 • 10 adults • 5 childrenHad a blast on the Country Girl !!! Crew and Capt were amazing with our large family trip. Lots of large fish made it to the boat 🚢 Blues and Spanish Mac. We had a great time would recommend a day on the water with this crew 100/10!
Gary Klosko5.0VerifiedCaptain and crew were fantastic.
4 Hour Nearshore AM on June 19, 2024 • 10 adultsGreat fishing trip with family and friends. Captain Charles, first mates Lee and Banks showed us the ropes and took care of all the details. Caught plenty of fish. We were in a bind with having someone clean our fish but they stepped up and cleaned them for us. Even got a bonus when a group of dolphins swam up to our boat and followed us in. Highly recommend them.
