We hold the standard permits and approvals for 6 (six) people to join us on our boat for the day of the charter. This boat has plenty of space for all six to have a great day while being supported by your captain and mate.
When and how long do we fish?
The boat leaves the dock at 5:30a every morning. We suggest that you arrive at 5:00a to get situated on the boat before heading out to the Gulf Stream. Depending on the weather and fishing, we typically arrive back to the dock between 4p and 5p.
Do I need a fishing license? what else do I need to bring?
No fishing license needed, every passenger on the trip is covered under our blanket charter fishing license.
The day of the fishing trip, we suggest you bring Food, Drinks, Sunscreen, Sunglasses and Energy! This boat is a fish raising machine equipped with the best in electronics, tackle, rods and reels. Bring the good vibes and positive energy to make the magic happen!
Do we keep our fish? How do they get cleaned? What is released back?
We encourage all of our anglers to practice good conservation efforts while being mindful of the regulations that allow for fish to be available for generations to come. All meat fish (Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin) may be kept up to the legal limits based on number of people charter fishing. Located at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, full service fish cleaning is available immediately upon arrival from our charter. Make sure to bring a large empty cooler to take home your cleaned fish. Styrofoam coolers are available for purchase at the fishing center but supplies and cost varies.
All billfish (Marlin and Sailfish) are required to be released. We will do our best to get you pictures for your big catch but the health and safety of these fish is our primary focus.

Our boat is very unique with the addition of a Simrad Omni Sonar and our Seakeeper 9. The Seakeeper is revolutionary technology that reduces the rolling effect that you have on a boat by 88%. For those of you that are tired of getting beat up on the rough days or just want to reduce the feeling that comes along with sea sickness, this is your boat. There is tons of information and cool videos located on the seakeeper website found here: https://www.seakeeper.com/home/
