My name is Captain Rob and I have over 30 years of experience navigating the coastal waters of Eastern North Carolina. From Cape Look Out to Cape Fear, you can say I’m familiar with the area. I grew up in Carteret County and quickly took to surfing and fishing off our coastal area. For 20 yrs I surfed professionally and traveled to Puerto Rico searching for surf and competing. For the last decade I have transitioned into Captaining and running a rope distribution business. My charter business is unique in I frequently fish from Swansboro to Cape Lookout, so there’s some exciting adventures I can take you on. Make your reservations today and get ready to have a REEL SWELL time!
