Capt. Charles runs trips out of Manteo aboard a 63' Varnum. These waters are known for Mackerel and Trout and he will show you how to catch them. With excellent knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Great family trip!

    Half Day (8am-1pm) – Mon - Sat • 7 adults • 3 children

    We had such a great experience on our fishing charter in the Outer Banks! The captain was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made the whole trip enjoyable for our family. Our first mate was especially helpful and patient, making sure everyone knew what to do and helping the kids whenever they needed it. We saw tons of dolphins throughout the trip, which was such a fun bonus for the kids! We also caught plenty of bait fish, flounder, and silver fish, so there was never a dull moment. It was the perfect combination of fishing, wildlife, and spending time together on the water. We really appreciated how family-friendly and relaxed the entire experience was. If you’re looking for a fun charter in the Outer Banks, especially with kids, we would definitely recommend this crew! We’d happily go out with them again. 🎣🐬

    Great trip

    Half Day (8am-1pm) – Mon - Sat • 6 adults • 2 children

    The captain and crew were excellent especially with my young boys. Attentive and good teachers/ teaching moments plus the captain let them both “steer” the boat for a good while and that was so cool for them to experience on top of catching fish on big fishing trip like that. Thank you and God bless !

    Great Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Weekdays • 6 adults • 3 children

    We took our 5 year old out to fish for the first time. I don't think the fishing was as good as usual, but we still caught a few fish and got to keep one mullet. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable. There were 2 first mates who were very helpful and even filleted our fish at the end. We also got to see dolphins several times!

    Reported catch:
    Southern Kingfish
    Atlantic Croaker

    Just want to thank the crew on #crystaldawnheadboat for being so patient and kind to my girls, playing the best tunes, finding us a shark, blowing up a puffer fish and letting the girls pet it, and the best hotdogs for a good day of fishing on fathers day weekend for my husband and Brother in law ! 10/10 Recommend! 🦈🐟🎣
