About Your Trip

There's no better way to enjoy Wilmington, NC than on a fishing charter! The North Carolina coast is home to world-famous inshore fishing, and you'll be able to hook up trophy Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, and more on this trip with Captain Luke.

His charter vessel is a sleek 21' Sportsman center console, perfect for inshore angling. She's equipped with all the important gear and equipment to keep you fishing successfully all day. That includes GPS, live wells, a trolling motor, a full suite of electronics, and more! You'll have everything you need to reel in a variety of species, including the highly sought-after Redfish, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and Speckled Trout. Captain Luke will guide you to the best fishing spots, sharing his knowledge of the local ecosystem and wildlife along the way.

Throughout the day, Captain Luke will provide expert guidance on the best techniques to use for each species. He'll also make sure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience on the boat, providing refreshments as needed.

After the day winds down and you head back to the dock, Captain Luke will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home. The fish are biting—book now and get out there!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
