Great trip!

2 hr trip morning2 adults1 child

It was sons first time fishing, Captain Chris did a great job showing him what to do and even let I'm drive the boat for a bit. All in all it was a great time on the water!

    The Highlight of our trip

    2 hr trip morning4 adults

    Capt Chris from In Debt Charters made our family fishing trip the highlight of our whole trip to the Outer Banks. He made sure to contact us ahead of time to figure out the best day to go so we didn’t have to cancel due to the hurricane that was on the way. He also reached out to verify that we weren’t staying in an area that was being evacuated before we left on our road trip. We have three teenagers who absolutely loved the trip and I think we all know it’s not the easiest to find things that teenagers enjoy to do with us, haha . Capt Chris made us all feel included and welcomed as if we were just enjoying a great fishing day on the water with a friend. He went out of his way to help us catch all sorts of fish. A fun experience for all levels. He mentioned he loves to educate. Very nice, knowledgeable, helpful and fun! Thank you !

    Great trip.

    2 hr trip morning2 adults1 child

    We had such a great experience on our 2-hour trip with Captain Chris! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel welcome and comfortable. He was especially amazing with my 5-year-old son—patient, encouraging, and so kind. My son talked about “Captain Chris” the whole rest of the day, which tells you how much fun he had. Although we didn’t catch a lot of fish, that had nothing to do with the effort put in on Captain Chris’s part. It was simply the weather and the time of year—the fish just weren’t biting. Captain Chris tried multiple spots, gave us a lot of opportunities, and used his knowledge of the area to give us the best chance possible. We really appreciated how much he explained along the way, which made the whole trip educational and enjoyable, even when the fish were quiet. What stood out the most was how genuinely friendly and easygoing he was. He made the entire outing stress-free and fun, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We would absolutely recommend Captain Chris to anyone, especially families with kids—he goes above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable time on the water. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!

    Chris, thank you for the kind word and the review. I really enjoyed spending time with you and your son, he is such a cool lil dude! I must say I need that trip, just as a reminder of why I love Fishing so much, to see the simple joy on your son face and how excited he got about fishing and the boat rife made my day!

    We had so much fun on our fishing trip. Chris was amazing with our boys! It got super windy, so we didn't think we'd have much luck, but tucked into the sound out of the worst of the wind. We ended up catching pin fish, croakers, grunts, trout, and even a flounder. Great way to end our vacation. 10/10 recommend In Debt Charters!

    Response from Charter operator
