Head out to the productive Gulf Stream on this 8-hour adventure! You'll typically be fishing up to 30 miles offshore, so make sure your sea legs are strong. You'll be targeting Tilefish, Seabass, Grouper, Amberjack, Shark, King Mackerel, and trolling species such as Sailfish and Mahi Mahi. Custom fishing gear will be provided for you, as well as a fishing license for your group, so just bring snacks, drinks, and weather-appropriate clothing.

Start your trip at the crack of the dawn and embark on a true offshore fishing adventure. You and Captain Jonathan will be targeting Tuna, Marlin, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and other species. The captain takes care of all the equipment, so just bring your favorite food and drinks before you leave.

This trip will take you after Spanish Mackerel, Drum, Cobia, and Shark. This nearshore trip is a great way for beginners to learn the basics and start catching trophies.

Leave Oregon Inlet and fish all day in the amazing blue waters of the Gulf Stream on a beautiful Blackwell 40' Express boat. Get in the action while catching everything from Tuna (all types) to Mahi Mahi to all types of billfish. The $2550 price includes filleting the fish, something that likely saves you a few hundred dollars on a good day. Keep in mind the mate works for tips: 15-20% of trip cost.

This is a 6-hour trip. This trip is great for larger groups and avid anglers. This will give us enough time to head out into the ocean and do some wreck fishing, sight casting, and gives us every opportunity to catch the fish of a lifetime. Large Drum (40+ lb), Cobia, and Amberjack are among the hardest-fighting in the ocean and are regularly caught on these trips. However, we can also enjoy the pristine waters of our world-class inshore fishery as well. Give us a call today to book your adventure.

On full-day trips, we head out of Oregon Inlet, traveling 40–50 miles to the Gulfstream. From May to late September, target mahi, wahoo, black/yellowfin/bigeye tuna, white marlin, sailfish, and the legendary blue marlin. Trips may run slightly longer than 12 hours. All tackle is provided, and we don't leave until the box is full and our customers are smiling. Get ready for an unforgettable OBX fishing adventure!
