Amazing time!
Half Day Trip (11 AM) on April 14, 20256 adults
Captain Duke had a plan but heard about fish in a different area and switched course. Ended up catching a bunch right away. Landed fish throughout the charter (10 fish in total). The first mate Gavin was great. Showed us how to land the fish then let us take it from there. Gavin was informative, took all the pictures we asked, and even cleaned and bagged everything for us when we got back to the docks. All in all, the trip far exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend!

Amazing Time on the Water
Full Day Trip on August 1, 20252 adults
Both the captain and first mate know their stuff. You know you have the right captain when every boat on the water attempts to follow him. We started near shore for some mahi. Then ran into the beach for a shot at some blues. Sure, the day and weather were perfect , but this crew took advantage of the fish biting. It was non-stop reeling. 2 of us (boat can handle more) and we caught 127lbs of mahi, blues, and Spanish mackerel. 100% recommend!

Best Charter Experience I've Had
Half Day Trip on September 16, 20256 adults
Captain Duke and his First Mate Gavin were very friendly and so professional! This was the best charter I have ever been on. Captain Duke knows where the fish are and Gavin was great managing the lines even when we had three on lines at the same time. We hauled 218 lbs of fish on a half day charter which was amazing. Will definitely charter with them again! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Capt’n Duke and Gaven!
Half Day Trip on July 12, 20253 adults3 children
We had a great time with Capt’n Duke and Gaven today. This is the first time we’ve chartered a boat for fishing in OBX, and we’ll definitely be back in the future. It was a great time fishing with more black sea bass than we could handle. Seeing a sea turtle, shark, and massive pod of dolphins was icing on the cake. The kids and kids at heart all had a great time.

Captain Duke
3/4 Day Trip on August 14, 20254 adults
Charter was 10 out of 10 from beginning to the end.Gavin was amazing and on the move the whole time. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Captain Duke knows his water and great fishing locations. And he said I did good for a girl since I had never been deep sea fishing before, but I think he was just being polite, because I only caught the cut bait 😉
