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!

Half Day (8am-1pm) – Mon - Sat • 7 adults • 3 childrenWe 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. 🎣🐬

Half Day Trip – Weekdays • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe 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!

What's biting with Crystal Dawn Fishing and Cruises in Manteo
Huge 'Smoker' Kingfish tear around the nearshore structure, while Bull Red Drum patrol the sounds. This is your last chance to battle Billfish before they head south, so save some time for offshore fishing.
