Captain Gurt (Evan Gurtis) has been pursuing his fishing dreams since he was 9 months old sitting in his dad's lap on the beaches of Hatteras. He grew up playing golf, fishing and earning an eagle scout badge. It became an obsession, chasing the old drum through the night until the morning on the top waters. He was eating, sleeping, living the fisherman’s dream. Even after starting a career in electric trades which he enjoyed, you can't beat a beat a sunset on the water thinking about the plan of attack, gearing up for tomorrow's adventure!!

Fishing out of Wanchese Marina, Capt Evan runs a flatbottom Bayrider with a tower. With this boat Evan can maneuver in super shallow water and take it in the the ocean on calm days. He also makes his guests feel comfortable and have fun on their fishing adventure. Whether you want to catch a specific type of fish or fish for whatever and catch as much as possible he will do his best to get fish in the boat. He guarantees to show you...

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What makes you different from other guides?
I am flexible with my party and treat each charter as a customized experience. If you have more than 4 people I will do my best to accommodate you. I can be talkative or quiet and laid back. I can help out and show you what to do or let you cast and do your thing. I want my guests to feel comfortable and have fun on their fishing adventure whether you want to catch a specific type of fish or fish for whatever and catch as much as possible! I'll do my best to get fish in the boat but I'll guarantee to show you a great time! I'll call you before your trip to get the vibe of what you want to do for your day. Your four legged friends are also welcome aboard!

Absolutely incredible fishing charter from start to finish! Me and three others went out, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Evan was our guide, and I can’t say enough great things about him. He was knowledgeable, laid-back, and made sure everyone had a great time.

Absolutely incredible fishing charter from start to finish! Me and three others went out, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Evan was our guide, and I can’t say enough great things about him. He was knowledgeable, laid-back, and made sure everyone had a great time.
We caught plenty of fish, but honestly, the laughs and good times were just as memorable as the fishing. Evan kept the energy up the entire trip and
made it feel like we were fishing with an old friend rather than just a guide. He knew exactly where to put us on the fish and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a fishing charter where you’ll catch fish, have a ton of laughs, and leave already talking about the next trip, this is the one. We’ll definitely be booking with Evan again. 10/10 experience and highly recommended!
