One of the best trips that we have been on. We had a great time!
Ty ty , we had a blast fishing with you. Hope to see you again next year!
We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water! None of the four of us had ever been fishing before, but Captain Alex and first mate Travis made the entire experience seamless, safe, and unforgettable. Captain Alex was fantastic and incredibly accommodating from start to finish, finding great spots and keeping the energy high. We probably peppered them with more than 100 questions and both Alex and Travis were right there with us every step of the way, showing us the ropes and making sure everyone in our group was comfortable and having a blast. The fishing action was nonstop. We practiced 100% catch-and-release and managed to reel in an amazing variety: three sharks (a baby blacknose shark, a blacknose, and a spinner), along with a toadfish and a sea bass. Getting to hook into sharks on our very first outing was an absolute rush. To top it all off, the wildlife sightings were incredible—we spotted two sea turtles gliding past and had multiple dolphins swimming alongside us throughout the trip. If you’re looking for an unforgettable charter—whether you’re seasoned anglers or total beginners like us—book with Captain Alex and Travis. We can’t recommend them enough!
Family of four with a 6 year old first time boater with special needs. Crew was supportive and great. We caught multiple Spanish mackerel and a small shark and could have caught even more but the young one wanted to move on which was on us. Saw dolphins also which was a treat. Boat big and enough room for us. Recommend for young boaters maybe with first time. We did the 3 year trip but I think a 2 hour would have been better for his fist time. Rest of us really enjoyed the near shore trip and nice weather. Ate our fish that night and had fun trip.
so happy to have y'all. that was a special one. ❤️ Capt Adam
We were in Oak Island for a beach vacation and decided to do some offshore fishing. We didn't have any prior experience, but Capt. Adam Steelman and his brother showed us everything we needed to do, and were extremely chill throughout the process. We caught Spanish Mackerel, a hammerhead shark and another type of shark (I forget which type). And were able to bring some home to eat! We would definitely do this again when we come back to Oak Island!!!
Our family (mom, dad and 3 kids) had a great time fishing and being out on the water with Captain Adam and Mate Travis. We were lucky to catch a variety of fish, a couple shark, and one interesting fish we had never seen or heard of before (a Sea Robin). We especially appreciated the high quality of their fishing equipment as well as how quickly and efficiently Travis assisted with baiting our hooks and also removing fish from our lines so we could get them back in the water. We also had an extra special treat getting to see dolphins on our way out and back into the dock. We would highly recommend Seabbatical Charters and we look forward to fishing with them again!! Thank you so much Adam and Travis, for your expertise and hospitality.
So glad the weather help out for us. We had a great time with y'all as well. Those dolphins at the end were pretty amazing 🐬! Capt Adam
Captain Adam was the best. I was researching the best charter for my two boys (ages 10 & 12) for their first charter. I was beyond happy and impressed. Captain Adam spent time teaching and showing my boys the how’s and why’s. Plus the experience is something they will remember the rest of their life. As a fellow boat owner, it was clean, extremely well maintained and the bathroom was top notch (my wife was also happy on this trip). The playlist on our ride back had us singing along. We caught the fish we wanted and had the best lunch after. During our roadtrip back home we asked the kids what their favorite part of our week long trip was. The answer = the charter with Captain Adam. Next time we are back at the ocean, we will visit and are already counting down to next summer.
awesome!!! ty ty. Looking forward to seeing y'all again. Capt Adam
