Outer Banks Offshore Fishing Charters

Those looking for the ultimate experience should book an Outer Banks offshore fishing charter. Anglers, beginner or pro, can look forward to an entire day of adventure in the OBX 30 to 40 miles offshore. Whether we are trolling, kite fishing, or using the 'green stick', the action is incredible. There is nothing like seeing tuna come out of the water and hit the bait! On this trip, we catch tuna, mahi, wahoo, and billfish.

A full-day trip offers the opportunity to travel up to 30 miles offshore, where you can target Seabass, Tilefish, and Grouper, along with Amberjack and King Mackerel. A fishing license and all necessary gear are provided. Weather conditions will determine whether the trip can run offshore. The boat is new and equipped with a generator and air conditioning for added comfort.

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. Keep in mind the mate works for tips: 15-20% of trip cost. Fish cleaning is provided at an additional cost.

This trip is primarily fishing within 5 miles of the beach. You'll be fishing for Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, False Albacore, and Ribbonfish and keeping a close eye out for a school of Red Drum and Cobia. This is the perfect trip for families, beginners, or anyone looking for a fun trip. This trip is seasonal.

These charters are designed to venture between 3 and 20 miles outside the inlet. The species often available on these trips include king mackerel, spanish mackerel, bluefish and on occasion some mahi. Also amberjack, false albacore and cobia when in season. Since these species are seasonal please always discuss what species you might expect to target on your intermediate charter before leaving the dock.

We will start the morning catching bait. Then take a one-hour ride to the tower to start catching amber jacks. These guys pull like donkeys! It is a really good fight. With the remaining time we will troll closer to the inlet to completely fill that fish box! With this trip the leave time can be changed; please just send us a message to do that we can accommodate whatever works best for you!

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!

5hr trips are considered half day +. Just a little extra time to stay on the water. We leave at sunrise 6am. The extra hour can be the perfect touch to catch a few more fish or expand your reach while on the water. Near shore trips are within sight of land and are typically trolling trips for migratory species that are within season. We have a full sized bathroom (6'+ head room) onboard. Ice is provided free to the guest.

Lets go Offshore to have a chance to reel in the big one! This is a 11 hour offshore trip for Tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin, Sailfish, and more! Don't forget your sunscreen. All licences are included. Trip starts at 5am.
