Inshore, nearshore, and Gulf Stream offshore programs — all private, all up to 6 anglers, all out of Pirates Cove.
Every trip is a private charter for up to 6 guests. Fishing license, rods, reels, tackle, lures, fuel, and first mate are included. You’re welcome to keep your catch (as regulations allow).
A focused half day on the protected water around Manteo and the Outer Banks sounds. Family-friendly, beginner-friendly, and a good fit if you want a calmer trip without the long offshore run.
Target species: redfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel.
Departures available morning or afternoon. Same boat, same crew.
