Awesome boys fishing trip!
Tower Trip (AM) on August 6, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children
Six of us sailed with Captain Doug and First Mate Robbie today - 3 boys aged 8-12, two dads and grandpa. We let them know ahead of time we wanted to catch Mahi and Amberjack, and they worked hard to make sure we were not disappointed. We ended up landing not only a few AJs and a bunch of Mahi, but also scored some false tuna, a Barjack and even a Barracuda. We even saw a sea turtle by the tower which the boys loved. It was a beautiful day out on the water and the crew was excellent. Highly recomend for anyone looking for a knowledgable crew and a great day of fun in beautiful OBX. We'll be back!

Great experience
6 Hour Trip - Nearshore (Later AM) on June 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children
1st time on a fishing trip with my family. Captain Doug was accommodating during the booking process and welcomed us while we boarded. There was a TV with dvd's for the kids while we motored to the fishing area. The big beanbag chair was very comfortable. My boys had a blast and we caught lots of Spanish mackerel. We started at 6 am and added the 2 hour extension later (Captain Doug is patient and flexible). Unfortunately I got seasick so we cut our trip short. A great experience overall and one my family will always remember. Shout out to Rob the 1st mate , he is experienced and capable and hard working. One suggestion to the inexperienced, bring earplugs.

Best first fishing trip!
6 Hour deep Trip (Later AM) on September 2, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child
Our family had a great time fishing with Captain Doug and First Mate Robbie! In our group, two of us had some experience with fishing while the rest of the group had none. Robbie told us exactly what to do and we went home with enough fish to stock the freezer! Our 7-year-old left saying fishing was his favorite part of vacation. Really a great trip, I highly recommend them to anyone looking to fish in OBX.

we were scheduled to go out on a Saturday but the weather did not cooperate. the captain and first mate did an excellent job making sure we still enjoyed fishing in the sound. we even had other captains that were jealous of how much we were catching. it was an awesome day and got to make some great memories thank you and we will see yall again

Great Family Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) on July 29, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child
Went out for a four hour morning fishing trip with family (four kids, 12-16) and had a great time. Caught just over 40 fish (mostly bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and Atlantic moonfish). Captain and mate were great and made us comfortable and welcome from the first, ‘hello’. Would highly recommend No Sweat Sportsfishing to anyone looking to have a great morning, or day, on the water.
