A fun day on the open waters

4 Hour Trip (PM)4 adults

Chad was great. The company was very professional and even reached out to us to rebook ahead of time based on weather conditions. We had so much fun! Chad was knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to move us around for different fishing experiences. He was helpful with all of us who knew little to nothing about fishing. A great family experience! Boat isn’t huge, but has everything you need and want. Fish cleaning available onsite afterward—not with their company—was also great.

    Great Fishing Trip!!!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an excellent experience on our 6-hour fishing charter. The weather conditions weren’t ideal, but that was completely out of the captain’s control. What truly stood out was his knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to making sure everyone had a great time. He was incredibly patient with my children, taking the time to teach them about fishing techniques, equipment, and the local fish species. He made them feel involved and excited throughout the trip, and they learned so much. His attentiveness, encouragement, and willingness to answer all of their questions made the experience memorable for our whole family. Even with challenging weather, the captain worked hard to put us on fish and made the day enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, family-friendly captain who genuinely cares about his guests having a great experience, I highly recommend booking a trip with him.

    Captain Dave was fantastic!!!

    Family Sound Exploration • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Dave did a great job communicating everything in advance of our trip, and answered every newbie question we had. My wife and I were bringing our 3 boys onto the boat for the first time. He geared the charter to what a 10, 11 and 14 would love. We dropped our line in the water, and in 35 minutes got a bite that took our bait. Missed the fish, but my boys are still talking about the one that got away, and how much they want to get back out and land a fish. Capt Dave made them anglers for life!!! Given ages, Capt Dave also planned for some time on a local sandbar. My oldest enjoyed sandbar hopping while my younger two spent a good half hour sand dollar hunting. It was perfect to close out the short day on the water. I highly recommend Capt Dave for anyone looking to drop their line on fish, learn about the area and ecology and frankly have an all around memorable experience that you will never forget!!

    10/10 would Recommend

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Overall great charter and fairly priced. The fish made him work for it, but in the end, he put us on some fish. Captain planned the trip around our requests, was on time, and the boat/equipment was in good working order and well prepared for the trip. Would definitely use Vicarious Charters again if staying near Cape Hatteras.

    Great Trip!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Dave was awesome. He explained everything to us before we got on the boat and took us out into the ocean instead of the bay. We caught a bunch of fish but the big ones weren’t biting. Had a great time anyway and would recommend him to anyone in the future!

    Response from Charter operator

    thanks Matt. Had a great time with you all and hope to see you out on the water again!
