Even though we didn’t catch the big sharks, we had a fantastic time. The wind was blowing and just making for some rather unsafe swells. We had a little guy on board. The Captain made the decision to be safe than sorry, and we stayed closer to shore. My little guy had a blast reeling in croaker, Spanish mackerel, baby sharks, and other types. He reeled in all kinds! Captain and First Mate were great with the kiddo; joked, asked him lots of questions, made him feel cool. I would highly recommend... More

Captain Doug and his mate DJ are without a doubt are a good time. We caught tons of fish and talked trash the whole time. Very easy going and fun to be around. They both have big personalities and keep you laugh and entertained. Experienced or not they’ll help you put fish on the boat. Had a blast out there couldn’t have asked for a better 1st time experience!

Captain Doug and First Mate DJ were really fun to be around. They were easy to talk to and funny. They were both so good with our five year old son. Hope to go back next year when we return to Emerald Isle. I believe I have the wife and the son “hooked” lol.

We had an electronics issue which prevented our original trip from happening. Captain Doug never quit on us!! He found an alternative plan and put it into action, which shortened our trip, but ensured that we were all thrilled with the outcome!! Fish tacos are in our immediate future!! Thank you Captain Doug for ensuring our trip was successful!!!

We had a great half day trip on the Gale Anne with Captain Dough and mate D Jay. We got our limit of Spanish mackerel, caught a few sharks, and even pulled in a 10lb king mackerel. Overall a really fun time!
