Amazing Time on the Water

VERIFIED

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

VERIFIED

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!

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.
