Tidal Pursuits Fishing LLC 

We had an outstanding experience with Title Pursuits! Captain Esben was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly patient with our three young kids and made sure they had an amazing time from start to finish. Even though the fish weren’t biting particularly well, he worked hard all morning to put us on fish, and we ended up catching a nice Spanish mackerel. More importantly, he made the trip about the entire experience. He let the kids jump off the boat to swim, took us to a beautiful little sandbar where they could play in the water, and made sure everyone was having fun the whole time. We also got to see so many dolphins, which was a huge highlight for our family. Captain Esben was personable, knowledgeable, and happily answered all of our kids’ questions throughout the trip. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants his guests to have a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing charter with a captain who truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Title Pursuits and Captain Esben enough. We would absolutely book with him again!

it was a beautiful day, a bit breezy, but Capatain Esben got us settled in and we found a good spot for some sheepshead (plan on eating for lunch tomorrow) and went on thr hunt for black drum - Capatain Esben was great and stalked the drum but just wouldnt bite today. They were monsters. Would recommend ans go again.

I brought my boys, 8 and 11, for a half day trip with Captain Esben and he did not disappoint. The program he provided was perfect for the boys. We started at Oregon Inlet and headed to area where we anchored and waded for hermit crabs. The kids loved finding them. Knowing getting bites was the most important thing, we targeted sheepshead off pylons. Captain Esben was a great teacher for the kids, explaining the technique and the fishes tendencies. Naturally, there were tangled lines and plenty of clumsiness with the kids. He handled it with incredible patience and ease. My youngest asked so many questions - most of them were like “have you ever been stung by a jellyfish” — and he answered all of them with a smile. Most of all, we landed plenty of fish and had some Carolina Brewery drinks to celebrate. As my oldest said “Captain Esben is a chill dude.” Highly recommend.

We met up with Capt. Boxer on our way to the dock and my son and nephew couldn’t stop talking about how “cool” he was. He was great with the boys and even better on the water. He put us on some trout early and worked with the boys to show them how to fish topwater. A storm moved in and he kept constant track of it and moved at the right time. He navigated us through the storm and it created instant memories! While other boats sat on the outskirts of the storm Capt. Boxer took it head on and got us out of it so we could get on more fish and make the most of our time left. After we cut through the storm we set up for red drum and my nephew brought in a stud on cut bait. Capt. Boxer coached him through the whole fight and cheered him on. Shortly after, my son hooked onto a nice bluefish and Capt. Boxer coached him the same. If you’re looking for a fun, exciting day on the water you need to book with Capt. Boxer ASAP. That guy is an unbelievable captain and an even better person. He was top-notch and when it was all said and done, both boys said they won’t go on another charter if Capt. Boxer can’t guide them - and I couldn’t agree more. He made it an experience of a lifetime from the first handshake to the last photo.

My family had a great time with Captain Esben - a few hours in the water on a beautiful morning. We didn’t exactly fill the boat with fish, but we caught enough for a nice dinner, learned some things, and had fun. Would definitely do it again!
