Great trip. Perfect for little ones too. We caught 15 lbs of shrimp and 40 crabs. The boat was comfortable and the crew was friendly.

We caught shrimp and crab. It was really fun. Captain and boat were great. Thanks again

Our trip was amazing. 4 adults 2 kids and CaptIn Walker was fantastic. Finn was his only mate that day and he was great as well. We dropped nets to drag in approximately 8lbs of fresh beautiful shrimp.  We harvested baskets and left with a full bushels of beautiful blue crab. Walker let us help with nets and baskets and everyone had an amazing time. We are from upstate N.Y. and this was a totally new experience that we will definitely do again and definitely with Croatan Charters. Thanks walker for your excellent hospitality and knowledge to answer all our crazy questions. Oh and Lewis loved sitting in the captain seat.

My spouse and I took our two kids (6 & 8) on the 4 hour tour that departed at 11 AM. The captain (actually Captain Mike’s son) and first mate were so great with us and the kids and made sure we had a good time. They were clearly very proficient in both crabbing and fishing. We pulled in a bushel of crabs and almost a dozen fish too, which seemed pretty good for the time of day and before peak crabbing season. They even cleaned our fish for us when we got back to the dock!
Probably could’ve enjoyed the 2 hour option, but since the weather was so nice, we didn’t mind the extra time in the boat.
Helpful tips I’m glad we received before going:
1) bring water and snacks.
2) don’t drink too much water because there’s no bathroom!
3) make sure you have cash to tip (20% at least) and pay your final installment of the fees.
Absolutely recommend this charter to others. We had success in our haul and a very enjoyable trip!

This is an excellent charter! We had the best time catching and sorting shrimp as well as pulling crab pots! This is an experience for all ages! I don’t say any of these things lightly. As an avid angler of both fresh and saltwater, you can rest assured they’ll do their best to put something on the table!! Thank you Captain Mike, Captain Walker and James! You guys are extremely friendly and professional!  They knew exactly where the shrimp were and loaded us down with many meals worth of seafood! Service is top notch! I’ve already got the nod of approval from my wife to book another trip. God willing we will soon!
