Trip - Half Day Sunset Cruise In Emerald Isle, North Carolina on July 23, 2026

My daughters and I had a great time on this tour with Captain Will! Due to weather conditions, Captain Will asked if we could go out earlier in the day. He was kind, safe, knowledgeable, patient, and helped my eleven year olds catch lots of fish! It was a great experience and I highly recommend!

Looking for the perfect gift? This fishing trip is it! Captain Will was knowledgeable, patient, and great with our group. We made lasting memories, learned plenty about fishing, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and headed home with fish in the cooler. Book the trip. You won’t regret it!

Captain Will was quick to respond to our questions and was able to accommodate our group of four on very short notice. He was on time, prepared, and ready to get us out on the water right away. The trip was a success, with plenty of fish caught along with a few exciting shark encounters. Captain Will worked hard to keep us on the action and made sure everyone had a great experience. It was absolutely worth our time, and we’re already looking forward to booking another trip with him in the near future.

This was our first trip with Captain Will, and we had a great experience. The weather was cold and windy, and the fish weren't especially cooperative, but Captain Will's positive attitude and friendly personality made the day enjoyable from start to finish. He worked hard to give us the best opportunity possible despite the challenging conditions, and his knowledge of the area was evident throughout the trip. We truly enjoyed our time on the water and would not hesitate to book with him again if we're back in the area. Highly recommended!

The half-day trip was a great fit for what we were looking for. The captain and the boat made for a very enjoyable day on the water. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful, especially with our teens. The fishing was a bit slow overall, but we still had fun catching a few flounder, drum, and croakers. Even without a big bite, it was a great experience and a memorable day for the whole group.

My crew had an amazing time with Capt. Will! He worked hard to catch bait and kept us on fish all day. We landed huge flounder, some impressive drum (redfish), and one massive trout! Incredible experience—we’ll definitely be booking again.

Trip - Half Day Guided Fishing Trip In Emerald Isle, North Carolina - Grouper, Mackerel And More on June 7, 2025

Capt. Will is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. I took my son on a trip and he had a great time. We didn't catch anything that we could keep (flounder and smaller fish) but it was okay because the experience was fun. We look forward to seeing Capt. Will in the fall.

This was our second trip with Captain Will, and it was another great experience. We brought our two young kids along, and he was very attentive and flexible throughout the trip. We asked if we could mix in a bit of an eco tour along with some fishing, and he made it happen without any problem. The highlight of the day was watching our 5-year-old reel in two trout at the same time, which made the trip even more memorable. Captain Will made the whole outing fun and comfortable for our family. We’re already looking forward to booking another trip with him this summer.

We’ve fished with Captain Will twice now, and both trips were great experiences. The first time the fish weren’t biting much, but we still had a good time. On our most recent trip, the action picked up and we caught plenty. Captain Will is very patient with both kids and adults, which made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable for everyone. We’re already planning to book more trips with him in the future.
