Phideaux Fishing is a family-owned and operated charter company with over 3 decades of experience in the Outer Banks and Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. The crew can be found on the water year-round and always follow the bite!

The key to premium North Carolina fishing is the 'Phideaux', a spacious 52' Scarborough Flybridge vessel. Originally built in 1988, she was up hauled in 2017 and is fully outfitted with the latest in navigational electronics and professional accessories.

There is a fighting chair for those who are up for a challenge, as well as a flybridge to spot any action going on beneath the surface. Her single 1000 HP Caterpillar engine will power you to the hottest fishing grounds both close to the shore and far out. Inside, she's air-conditioned and equipped with a restroom, a kitchen, and a bed.

Test the bite close to the shore on a half day trip and target Bluefish, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and Drum. Or head out from the Inlet for the best offshore game fishing there is.

You'll hook into Blackfin, Bigeye, Bluefin, and Yellowfin Tuna, as well as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Marlin. Add chasing King Mackerel, Cobia, and even Sharks, to the mix and you're in for a seriously rod-bending adventure!

Phideaux Fishing has enough tackle for three boats but you're always welcome to bring your own if you wish. The weather can be unpredictable, so you will need to bring appropriate clothing. Snacks and drinks are also recommended on longer trips.

Head out with this talented crew and explore the best of what these waters have to offer with Phideaux Fishing!

Great trip with the crew of the Phideaux!
Full Day Trip – Offshore on May 26, 20264 adults

When we arrived at 450am and Capt Jamie asked if were set on going bc there was some wind and likely 5+ foot chop, we hesitated for a few min and then decided to go. He was right on, and did everything he could to get us out to the gulfstream through the best water. But despite one of our group being sick for much of the trip, Capt Jamie and his brother Jeff showed us a great time. It was a beautiful day, we caught a dozen or so mahi mahi, and were so glad we went. Both of them were awesome and we would book with the Phideaux again for sure!!

Full Day Trip – Offshore on June 6, 20266 adults

We had a great fishing experience. Capt Jamie put us on some Mahi Mahi, and 1st mate Jeff did a fantastic job getting the fish off our hooks and our lines back in the water as fast as we were pulling the fish in. we had about a 45 minute period where we we catching fish as soon as we but our lines back in the water. Besides the fantastic fishing we also saw dolphins, hammer head shark fin, and an ocean sunfish (Mola mola). The first one any of us had see before. Awesome time.

Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Fish didnt want to cooperate but still put some mahi and blackfin in the box. They took the time with my 8 year old son to make sure he had a good time and reeled in some fish! Captain Jamie and Mate Jeff are awesome!
