Second time booking with Waymaker Charters (Gratitude) and Captain Ryan.  Ryan is extremely fun to go out and fish with, and very knowledgeable about the area, fishing, and hilarious to be out on the water with!  The whole family had a great time, even the Mrs who has no interest in fishing :) We caught 40+ croakers for live bait to start the morning off, which was a lot of fun, and then reeled at least a half-dozen keeper trouts that made for a great lunch when we got home.

We have a very fun and enjoyable trip, started by catching our bait for the day quickly then off to another spot to catch sea trout. Every caught multiple fish and we actually reached out limit with time left in the trip which was great. We fished for some other types of fish for the rest of the time and had an enjoyable ride through the sound. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. The boat was comfortable and has plenty of space for our 5 guests. The kids had a great time and... More

I took my wife and four kids out for a 2 hour trip the captain talked to us about what we wanted to do and I told him we would like to catch some fish. We made a quick run out and grabbed some bait that he set all four of my kids up with a pool and then off to where there was some bigger fish and we started fishing we did catch 6 fish In a. Very short time. The caption was fun and worked with everyone and my kids had a blast. We will be going back to do it again. Thank you

Had a great time today out on the sound. Captain Ryan put us on a wide variety of fish. we caught blue fish, stingrays and a flounder! Highly recommend

Capt Ryan was friendly and fun to work with.  Gave clear instructions and we did land dinner trout.  Only comment for future consideration is that 1/3 of the rental time was dedicated to us traveling and us catching bait to use for fishing.  Have done many charters in NC and perhaps this being our first out of Wanchese, it par for the course.  More of a comment than a negative.  Would prefer the cost and time on boat be dedicated to fishing for keepers than bait.  Would rent again with them...
