Lizardfish Charters Nearshore/Offshore 

Had an amazing and memorable trip! Thank you soo much for everything ❤️ very flexible and accommodating!! Did everything we wished for and more!! Awesome doesn't cut it! Very educational and down to earth guy! We will definitely meet again ❤️ beautiful trip and and amazing memories ❤️

Spending the day on the local inshore channels, rivers and sounds of the Crystal Coast was a perfect way to elevate our Emerald Isle family vacation! Despite high waves that kept us from venturing deep sea offshore, Captain Rick and First Mate RJ did a perfect job with making my family feel right at home on their well-equipped boat while navigating the beautiful waters of the area. Fishing from several different spots, we pulled in a variety of great fish including sea bass, croakers, hogfish, blue fish, lizardfish, puffer fish and even a large flounder! We capped off the day with bonus time hunting shark teeth on one of the inshore islands. Captain Rick and RJ were super friendly while working very hard to make sure our group had a fantastic time! Highly recommend Lizardfish Charters Offshore!

Water was much rougher then Forcast. Fishing was extremely slow. Captain Rick tried everything to get us fish including staying out longer then charter was booked for. We didn't get skunked but was vert slow. Rick was extremely apologitc about lack of fish. But that aside my family still had a great time and made memories. Captain Rick offered to take us out next time we make it down here at a discount to make up for bad fishing. Definitely has great customer service skills and knowledge of the area.

Capt Rick and Capt Kristen are so great and so nice! They have an amazing amount of knowledge of the area and what was biting. We did some inshore/sound fishing and mainly caught undersized fish, but still had an absolute blast! They made it super easy and fun! They helped my 5-year old son hook and catch several fish. Would highly recommend for family trip or just normal trips! We will most definitely book again if we visit Emerald Isle or the surrounding area for sure!

Would highly recommend Lizardfish for anyone looking for great family outing. Captain Rick and his wife were amazing guides! They did a great job of moving us around until we started getting into fish and were so patient with our kids. We caught a ton of black sea bass and even a couple of Dogfish Sharks to cap off the day! 🎣 We then got to spend a hour or so shelling at Shakleford. Our kids said it was the best day of our vacation, so far! 🙌

We enjoyed our trip so much! We started off with trying to bottom fish but the water was a little too much and one of our members ended up sea sick so we moved on and went to Aruba Island and looked for clams and seashells. It took a little longer than expected to get back from bottom fishing so they gave us some extra time. After that we went to shark tooth island and found many shark teeth. And lastly we went a did a little fishing near the bridge. We met so many creatures that we had never seen before and caught a few fish along the way we really enjoyed the experience and would definitely do it again!

Captain Rick and Kristen were amazing. They are very knowledgeable and kind. They’re so accommodating and make sure everyone is involved and catching fish. Can’t wait to book again and my daughter who didn’t want to go asked if there was any way we could go again before going home. Wonderful day.

Even though I got sea sick the captain was nice enough to bring me back to shore and still took my boyfriend back out for the remainder of our time inshore.

Took the wife and kids out with captain Rick and his wonderful wife. All the kids (and adults) had a great time catching fish and looking for shark teeth. Already planning a trip for next year and will be spending more time with captain Rick. The negative… we only booked for 2 hours! We can’t recommend them enough! You’ll want to book more than 2 hours!

The guys on our vacation went out with Captain Rick. They had the absolute beat time out in the boat on the sound side of things. The boat is in perfect working order. They even got to stay out longer then what was booked. Thank you Captain Rick for an awesome trip. Many memories to come. Would definitely book again and highly recommend
