About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Rob for a top-tier fishing adventure along North Carolina’s Crystal Coast! With over 30 years of experience navigating the waters from Cape Fear to Cape Lookout, Captain Rob knows exactly where to go and how to get you hooked up with fish.

You’ll be targeting inshore favorites like Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and Flounder, with a shot at Cobia when the bite and conditions are right. While most trips stick to the calm inshore creeks and flats, Captain Rob will venture nearshore if the fish are there and the weather cooperates.

With all gear, bait, and licenses included, you can just show up and fish. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, Captain Rob will tailor the trip to your goals and make sure you have a blast on the water.

As Captain Rob says, “You haven’t really seen the Crystal Coast until you’ve seen it from the water.” Come see it for yourself!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports 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, 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.
