Overall this was a great experience even if the weather wasn’t great. It was a little bit of rain and just an overcast day. Captain Duke seemed to navigate things well considering the weather and wind.  This was a trip planned to take my 80 y/o dad out for a nice fishing trip with our fa. We all had a lot of fun. The mate (Gavin) was on top of things. He was really on top things when there were lines getting multiple hits at the same time. Lines got crossed but he was quick to get things straight, get the fish off the hook and lines back in the water. It wasn’t long in to trip when started talking about doing it again. I would recommend Captain Duke and Gavin.

I’ve been on many fishing charters and this was by far the best experience I’ve had.  This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and my wife definitely found the best!  Captain Duke put us on the fish the entire trip.  Captain Duke was friendly and extremely knowledgeable.  He obviously knows the waters.  The boat was clean and well equipped. All materials were supplied and in excellent shape!  First mate Gavin was unbelievable!  He told us he has doing this for 4 1/2 months on this boat, but he was a seasoned professional.  Gavin did everything and was in constant motion, even let us do some “leadering.”  Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and personable.  The price of the excursion was perfect! Captain Duke and first mate Gavin are an excellent team!  They explained how and where to get the fish taken care of and gave us welcomed advice on what could be done with our surplus of fish. I will be using their charter again and I will send anyone their way when asked anout a charter at OBX.  I HIGHLY recommend Captain Duke Charters!!!!

Captain Duke and his First Mate Gavin could not have made our party’s experience any better!  They are a phenomenal team.  Upon arrival, Captain Duke greeted our party on the dock, and we departed on time.  First Mate Gavin introduced himself, kept us abreast of what to expect, and upon reaching the fishing ground he set to work setting lines and assisting.  Almost immediately,  we started catching fish, and we continued reeling them in all day.
Gavin stayed busy continuously yet maintained a positive, friendly, and knowledgeable attitude throughout the trip.
I would not hesitate to book another charter with Captain Duke Charters in the future, and would immediately recommend both the captain and first mate to anyone.
Thank you Captain Duke and First Mate Gavin for an awesome trip and experience.

Choose CAPT Duke. Not every day on the water is perfect. The ocean was too rough, so we fished the Inlet. A wise captain move. The storm out in the Atlantic had the water a bit murky, and the fish were not that cooperative. But, CAPT Duke knows his trade, and we still ended up with a nice haul of blues and mackerel.  Only a captain and crew that know their trade can turn a slow day into a steady day, and a good time had by all.  When I go back to fish the OBX, CAPT Duke is my go to charter.

Probably had the best fishing experience of my life. We went right out to open water and went straight to work. Between six guys we pulled in over 70 fish. Not one dull moment.  First mate Gavin did a fantastic job as well. He’s young but full of knowledge and never stopped working to assure we always had a line in the water and assisted in every catch. Hopefully I can take this charter out again soon! Thank you Captain Duke and First Mate Gavin
