    All I wanted for our trip!

    2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Ren was amazing. He specifically asked what we were looking to get out of it and delivered! We just wanted to fish, which was my birthday wish. We all fished when young with other adults, and Captain Ren was the perfect guide for our level of experience. We caught a ton of fish and even some not so common ones for the spot we were at! He was pleasant, and took his time. We didn’t feel rushed at all. My son loved it, though he lost interest within 30 mins and took over as “co-captain” telling us how to do it and observing. Captain Ren took pictures for us, and was so kind as well as patient. He even spotted dolphins for us and let us watch for several minutes. We would definitely book again!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Perfect Birthday Fishing Adventure!

    3 Hour Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    My husband and I had an absolute blast on our 3-hour fishing trip with Captain Rennie and his first mate, Camille. From the moment we stepped on board, they made the experience fun, relaxed, and memorable. Captain Rennie made sure we caught fish, and the great conversation and laughter throughout the trip made it even better. This was the perfect way to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and I truly couldn’t have chosen a better experience. We highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable day on the water! 🎣🎉

    Kids Fishing Trip

    2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids - 10:15 AM • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Rene and Camille were great with our boys ages (4) and (7). Both of them are great with encouraging the kids to keep trying and how to reel and catch fish. They understood exactly our intent was not to catch the biggest fish, but to give the boys a great experience fishing. Our boys are still talking about our youngest catching 9 fish and our oldest catching a big sea bass. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get out with small kids!

    Reported catch:

    Blacktips biting

    2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids - 10:15 AM • 6 adults

    This was our second trip with Captan Rennie and we didn’t think he could top our trip from last year when we caught a 7 LB black drum. We didn’t catch any BIG fish this time around, but the trip did not disappoint. We got to see lots of dolphin, a mantatee, caught lots of small fish, even a few sharks and a sting ray. Highly recommend his tour if your family is looking for something fun to do while in Carolina Beach.

    Response from Captain

    Kathleen thank you for the review. What an amazing 2 hrs on the water! Even the strong winds keeping us off the ocean couldn't hold you guys back. Seeing that manatee come right beside the boat was something no other charter has experienced in my 20 years of chartering! Another first was seeing that huge southern stingray you caught give live birth on my boat!....so cool! Seeing dolphins twice was a bonus as well. Also, watching your kids exucute our plan of catching croaker to use for shark bait was awesome. Nice work releasing the 2 big black tip sharks you guys caught.. they gave you guys a heck of a fight! Hope to see you again next year...you guys bring good luck! Tight lines, Capt Rennie and Camille

    Captain Ren was great! He was patient with my kids who are not experienced at all. Taught them the tricks to catching fish and we almost caught a shark, but it got away! Great experience, highly recommend!

4 trips today...it was hot but the fishing was even hotter. The first 3 trips today we fished the ocean and jigged grey trout, silver trout, banded grunts, spanish mackerel, croaker, and sharks. My 4th trip today we fished inshore as the winds kicked up the seas...We caught several nice flounder, a nice speckled trout, and a stingray. Capt Rennie
