Fishin Fannatic offers some of the finest sport fishing experiences on the waters of the Outer Banks, North Carolina. For the ones looking for big game fish, Captain Mark will take you out to the Gulf Stream for Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi Mahi, Billfish, and Wahoo. We also offer 4 and 6 hour nearshore trips for those who want to stay closer to shore.  This is a great family trip or for those who are just looking to get out on the water.  The company is family-friendly, so kids are welcome to join the adventure. There is nothing better than seeing a child's smile when they catch their first fish!

Captain Mark will take you out aboard a spacious 53' Viking sportfish, which is a seaworthy fishing machine, well-prepared for the current bite. The Fishin Fannatic has been completely updated with 2 new Catapillar engines, all new interior and electronics.  It cruises comfortably at 29 knots and is rigged with all new Furuno electronics. Licensed for taking up to six anglers out, the vessel has a 16' wide cockpit and plenty of room for all guests to be involved in fishing. Inside, there is a fully air-conditioned salon with couches, a restroom, and a galley. There is a flybridge to spot any action going on beneath the surface. You'll also have a comfortable fighting chair for the most challenged anglers, as well as an ice-box to fill up your catch with.

A day out in the North Carolina Outer Banks is not complete without a sport fishing experience. Each trip can be customized to suit your specific needs. The packages are from four to eleven hours on the water, including a full-day trip offshore. Your targeted species will include Mahi Mahi, Bluefin Tuna, Little Tunny, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefish, Tilefish, Sailfish, Cobia, Wahoo, White Marlin, Blue Marlin… and the list just keeps going!

I grew up fishing in South Florida and knew I wanted to be a fisherman as my career. I have been fishing the waters up and down the east coast for over 38 years. I have spent time on everything from drift boats, long lining, private boats, charter boats and have owned my own charter operation for a long time now.
