About Your Trip

Get out there and enjoy the atmosphere of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, and discover what fishing opportunities await you. Captain Drew is family and kid-friendly and will make sure put to show you some awesome fishing!

Captain Drew runs a 25' Maycraft Pilot House, which combines the serious fishing performance of a bay boat with the comfort and safety of a much larger vessel. You’ll have enough space to move around, and there’s also some shade against the sun. Plus, this boat is equipped with fish-finding sonar equipment, GPS navigation, and a 250HP Yamaha!

Fishing will be primarily nearshore locations near Wrightsville Beach, over both sand and artificial reefs. You’ll get a chance to test your skills with light tackle and trolling. Typically, you'll mix it up and chase Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Bonito, and Sharks, depending on the time of year!

You won’t need a fishing license as the charter’s got you covered. All the necessary equipment, fishing rods, lures, bait, and ice will be provided. Drew will clean and bag any catch you would like to keep at the end of the trip.

There is also FREE PARKING in a private lot during the charter! Clean restrooms and marina store with drinks, snacks, and ice for sale is located a few steps from the boat.
