You want a full-day deep sea fishing experience targeting big-game open ocean species.

You’re chasing mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, or marlin and need a captain who knows the Gulf Stream.

Your group has up to four anglers or more, with an additional fee for extra guests on board.

You need a flexible meeting location and a captain who adjusts the plan based on real-time conditions.

What to Expect on an Offshore Fishing Charter

Offshore fishing is different from inshore and nearshore trips. You’ll travel farther from shore, fish deeper water, and have the opportunity to pursue species that aren’t typically found close to the coast.

Captain Justin selects fishing locations and techniques based on the conditions and the goals of the trip. Depending on what’s happening offshore, that can include trolling for pelagic species, jigging, or bottom fishing.

Your trip may take you toward the Gulf Stream or Big Rock, where changing water temperatures and currents can attract a variety of offshore species.

Target Bigger Offshore Species

Mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, marlin, grouper, and other species can be found in offshore waters along the North Carolina coast. The exact species and availability vary by season and conditions, so your captain will adjust the approach accordingly.

Multiple Fishing Techniques

Offshore trips aren’t limited to one method. Trolling, jigging, popping, and bottom fishing can all be used depending on the target species and conditions. Having several techniques available allows the trip to adapt as the day develops.

Gear Included

Your offshore charter includes the fishing equipment needed for the trip, including rods, reels, lures, and bait. That means you can arrive ready to fish without having to bring your own offshore setup.
