"We had an absolutely great afternoon with Captain Will. My brother & I have been vacationing in OBX since we were little, and he and his wife are now full-time residents of KDH, so we thought taking a charter out on the sound would be a great way to find some cool boating areas for them in the future and also get some time with a local for some insights on the island and maybe some hidden gem restaurant recommendations!" β€”⁠ Whitney,

Fishing in Wanchese

Wanchese Fishing Charters unlock access to North Carolina's legendary Outer Banks angling scene. Nestled on Roanoke Island, this historic fishing village serves as a premier gateway to diverse saltwater adventures. Its strategic location beside Oregon Inlet provides direct routes to the Gulf Stream's blue waters, where prized catches including yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, and mahi-mahi patrol offshore depths.

Inshore enthusiasts find rich opportunities across Roanoke Sound's protected waters, targeting speckled trout, red drum, and flounder around marshes and channels. The village's industrial fishing heritage translates to unparalleled local expertise, with captains leveraging generations of knowledge about seasonal migrations and productive reefs. Nearshore excursions deliver thrilling action with cobia, king mackerel, and amberjack frequenting artificial reefs just miles from shore.

Wanchese Marina functions as the operational hub for professional charters, offering modern fleets equipped for everything from family-friendly sound fishing to extended big-game expeditions. The destination's unique positioning allows anglers to easily transition between sheltered sound fishing, nearshore wrecks, and deep-sea hotspots within a single trip. With reliable year-round fisheries and specialized charters for fly, light tackle, and bottom fishing, Wanchese delivers versatile saltwater experiences that cement its status as a top East Coast angling destination.

    Great Freaking Trip

    I’m not sure I can recommend much. I really like Wanchese. For those on their first fishing trips bring a cooler to take your catch home. All the folks there are helpful and friendly. They clean your fish on site and charge based on weight. The crew who cleans the fish are great. They have an ATM on site. If you don’t want to pay fees bring cash. Tip the cleaning crew, they’re great! And, cash is king!

    Not exciting but caught fish

    It’s fine if you don’t want to actually β€œfish” - it’s trolling only and no fight. Recommend for young kids but not for those looking for exciting fishing.

    Amazing Trip

    Captian Lewis was awesome he took us out near shore and put us right into some spanish mackerel within the first 10 minutes of being out. Once we caught a few of them he took us out a little farther where we caught some Mahi and some albacore. It was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. We will definitely be booking with him again.

We went a little while without a catch, but our Captain was undeterred. He sought out new locations and read the water to find a ton of fish to fill the cooler! We had a blast!
