Captain Fred Willis joined the Coast Guard when he was 18 years old, fresh out of high school. He spent 7 years working here, before making the decision to work on sportfishing boats in 1979. He has decades of experience out on the water – he decided to open his own business in 2014. He encourages his customers to be very hands-on during the trips, so expect to hook bait and get stuck in! Capt. Fred is very proud of his grandson winning the North Carolina Governors Cup.
