The United States Coast Guard permits up to six people on a charter boat whether they are fishing or just riding, This does not include the Captain.

While it is legal to carry up to six passengers, it is recommend to keep groups to four for the best experience. With four people, everyone has more space to move around, fish comfortably, and enjoy the trip without feeling crowded. If you have a group of five or six, we can certainly accommodate you, but just keep in mind that space will be a bit tighter.

Ask about split trips with multiple boats to accommodate groups larger than six people.

While we always do our best to find the fish and give you the best chance at catching them, fishing is never a guarantee. Conditions like weather, tides, water temperature, and fish behavior can all affect the bite. That said, we work hard to provide a fun, safe, and educational experience on the water, no matter what. Every trip is an adventure, and sometimes the chase is just as exciting as the catch!

The boat will provide all rods/reels and bait & tackle. You will need to supply your own food, drinks, sun block, and/or lotion. Also remember to bring sunglasses, and a long sleeve shirt or light jacket for cover up. Rain or foul-weather gear may be needed at times. For footwear, tennis shoes or deck shoes are ideal.

The fish caught on any Hatteras fishing charter are yours to do with as you please. There is a fish cleaning service offered at the Marina. In addition, they will also vacuum bag & ship the fish for you for a fee. All fishing charters in Hatteras Harbor Marina abide by all state and federal fishing regulations.

Morning trips typically start at 7am and afternoon at 12pm. It is a good idea to get to the boat about 10 minutes before departure. Times may be adjusted at captain’s discretion.

Trips may be canceled at the Captain’s discretion. If the weather is bad, your money will be refunded, or you may also choose to book a trip for another date.

The captain will assess weather conditions leading up to and on the day of the scheduled trip. If the captain determines that weather conditions are unsafe or unfavorable for fishing, the trip may be canceled or rescheduled.
