Background
Captain Andy Everhart grew up fishing offshore with his grandfather, who was also a captain and charter operator. He’s been a licensed captain for over 30 years with vast experience fishing the waters of southeastern North Carolina. He hosts a local fishing series called “Southern Sportfishing Saltwater.” The TV show covers everything from surf fishing to inshore, offshore, and Gulf Stream fishing as well. Capt. Andy was also selected to become a member of Century's Pro-Elite Team, an honor that only a select few anglers have the opportunity of joining. He is also a member of Yamaha Motor Corporation’s Pro Staff. Despite all these credentials and accomplishments, Capt. Andy is one of the most laid-back and easy-going guys out there. His main goal is to accommodate all levels of fishermen, from novice to pro, and show his customers an amazing time off the beautiful coast of North Carolina!
