I wanted to plan a special fishing trip for my son, and I’m so glad we chose Real Teal Charters. This was his very first time out on the water, and it turned into an unforgettable experience for both of us. Captain Tony was incredible—patient, knowledgeable, and great with kids. He took the time to teach my son how to cast, and made sure he felt comfortable and involved throughout the trip. You could really tell he loves what he does and enjoys sharing that with others.

Captain Tony took my family out today to celebrate my son’s 16 birthday. We had a great time and caught 20+ fish. The weather created less than ideal conditions, but Captain Tony persevered and put us on fish. He was detailed, thorough, and spent time teaching each of us different techniques and when to use what types of bait. Captain Tony was very friendly and accommodating to all our needs. We will be booking another trip very soon!

Captain Tony was great with the grandkids (10 and 7 years old).  Patiently answered all their questions, educated everyone about the local environment, helped them bait their hooks (and showed them how to do it themselves).  While the fish were only biting sporadically that day, the kids loved the trip and want to do it again the next time we visit Carolina Beach.  7-year-old said “When I grow up, I’m gonna have a boat just like Captain Tony’s!”  :-)

Had an awesome time out with Captain Tony yesterday - dude really knows his stuff! He’s got that perfect mix of being super professional while keeping things fun and laid-back. Instead of just putting us on fish, he actually took time to teach us some new tricks that made a huge difference. We crushed it on the catch front, but honestly, it was Tony’s knowledge and easy-going personality that made the trip special. He’s definitely not one of those guides who just goes through the...

My husband and I went for our anniversary. We took the morning tour, which was a little cooler than we thought it would be, but it’s April. My husband was able to do something he always wanted to do and go fishing in the ocean. I on the other hand wasn’t able to enjoy the open sea due to motion sickness. Tony was very accommodating and took us back inshore and we were able to finish our trip fishing in the water way. Tony was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We would 100% recommend... More
