Salty Charters

Captain John is a North Carolina native who developed his passion for fishing along the state's coastal waters at a young age. After years spent learning the local fishery, he now enjoys sharing his knowledge of Manteo and the Outer Banks with anglers of all experience levels.

John is equally comfortable helping a child reel in their first fish, teaching a beginner the basics of inshore fishing, or taking experienced anglers out for a longer day chasing seasonal opportunities. He prides himself on creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere while adjusting each trip around the conditions and goals of his guests.

Whether you're spending a couple of hours introducing the kids to fishing or dedicating a full day to exploring the inshore and nearshore waters of the Outer Banks, John brings local knowledge, patience, and a genuine enthusiasm for fishing to every trip.
