    Absolute Blast!

    3 Hour Fishing Trip • 5 adults

    Our family's first offshore fishing trip was one we'll never forget! 🎣 My son caught a sand shark, (my duaghter was beyond excited to pet it!) My boyfriend reeled in a hammerhead (no idea how he will ever top that!), and we even saw dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays. The Captain (Nick) and First Mate (Max) were absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time. When I started feeling overheated, Nick immediately made sure I was okay, which I really appreciated. We'll definitely be booking with them again next year... although I think I'll be supporting the crew from dry land next time! 😂 Highly recommend! 🦈

    An excellent afternoon fishing

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Captain Nick and First Mate Max are outstanding guides who are relaxed and laid back. Our first attempt to go out was rained away, but Captain Nick was great and scheduled us for later in the week. They were very helpful and answered our 13yo’s multiple questions. We caught mackerel for a couple of hours and then spent the last hour fishing for shark. We had an excellent time and look forward to fishing with Nick and his crew again on our next visit to Carolina Beach! We recommend them highly without hesitation.

    First trip.

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    Captin worked his tail off to get us on some fish. Sharks wouldn't leave us alone but hey sharks fight good too. we just wanted to catch aome fish and that we did. First trip for a couple of our crew and they enjoyed it. Weather was not in our favor but the captain was in toltal control. would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to go fishing. Thanks again Austin!

    Great trip, not long enough!

    Shark fishing • 2 adults

    Captain Nick and first mate Max were so wonderful. They gave us the option of going out to where the big sharks were, or going to where we’d catch other fish and smaller sharks. Of course, I wanted to do both. We waited a bit too long at the first spot and only got one bite. Once we headed to the second spot, we caught a ton of fish and had various different lures/baits in the water. We couldn’t reel them fast enough. Nick gave us a bit more time since we didnt ccatch anything in the first spot. But overall, 2 hours was not enough! Highly recocmmend. Max chatted us up the entire time and was great at entertaining the guests. We had a blast and our 6 year old enjoyed his first ccharter expereince!

    Awesome for all ages!

    Shark fishing • 4 adults • 1 child

    Nick and Max took us out to catch some sharks! On board was my husband, myself, our 14 year old and our 2 year old. When looking for a tour I wanted one that was kid friendly. After reading many previous reviews, I chose this one and it definitely didn’t disappoint! We caught a sandshark, several seabass, some spanish mackerel, and some other fish. They were great at communicating what we were doing ahead of time and even stopped to let us see some dolphins! We definitely will book with them again in tbe futrue!
