Breakwater Charters 

We had an awesome time on the 8-hour trip with Breakwater Charter. Captain Ashley and Logan were both great and made the whole day a lot of fun. Ashley did a great job getting us on the fish, and Logan was constantly helping out, keeping things moving, and making sure everyone was taken care of. They were both easygoing, knowledgeable, and just genuinely good people to spend the day with. We had a blast and would absolutely book with them again. If you’re looking for a great charter with a crew that knows what they’re doing and makes the trip fun, I’d definitely recommend Breakwater Charter.

Fished with Capt. Ashely about 4 years ago and booked a second charter with him last week - 3/4 day nearshore. The night before, he texted me to ask if I could arrive an hour earlier since the day before the Spanish Mackerel were biting around that time. In total, caught 20 fish, mostly good size Spanish, in about 3.5 hours. Took a break and switched to shark fishing, which I had never done before. Caught 4 altogether (two were very young). Took pics and tossed then back in the ocean. They are fighters on the line and the experience was great. The mate was attentive and super helpful - made the trip a first-class charter. I definitely will book another trip with Breakwater whenever I get back to the Crystal Coast.

Captain Ashley and Mate Logan were awesome. My son and I booked a full day trip for June 20, 2026. A major storm blew in the day before that lasted untill late evening on the 19th. We arrived at the Marine at our designated time and were greeted by both the captain and mate. After introductions we headed out to the promise land about 50-60 miles. Seas were a little choppy on way out. The captain made it as smooth as possible and in good time. Within about 30 minutes of fishing I caught my first Mahi Mahi. My son caught his about 45 minutes later. We caught 3 Mahi and checked off the bucket list. They both worked really hard trying to help us catch more but sometimes fish just don’t want to bite. So we moved on to another spot to catch V-liners ala Vermillion snapper. That was a workout as they hit hard and fight hard. We ended up catching our limit of those with a few extra other fish like sea bass and trigger fish. My son and I are thankful and very happy with how the day went Post Storm. We will do again when we can.

Captin Ashley displayed all the years of experience on our trip. The seas were rough and he handled it beautifully. His first mate Logan was very knowledgeable and friendly. For my first trip I would give it a 10. I strongly suggest a 4 hour trip for your first time if your entire family is going. I know who is coming and not coming next time. lol.

I took my parents, brother and nephew fishing offshore for their first time. Captain Ashely and first mate Logan made the experience a memorable one. We caught all varieties of fish including snapper, mahi, mackerel, amberjack and albacore tuna. Overall very excellent time and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a charter in Morehead City!
