Testimonials

“We had been out on several head boats in the past but wanted to charter our own boat for our party of five. We chose the half day near shore trip with Captain Mark and first mate John on the Fishin Fannatic. There were many boats to choose from so I figured for the money I’d go with the biggest boat we could find because two people in our party have had issues with sea sickness in the past so the bigger the boat the less motion in the ocean.

We made a great choice because both Captain Mark and John were very friendly and very patient with our relatively inexperienced group and got us on the fish quickly. Just a quick note that it was John’s first day working on the Fishin Fannatic (but he has years of fishing experience) and you would have thought he had been there for years, everybody really liked John and he took care of us like family! We all had multiple opportunities to reel in some fish and had a blast! We reeled in 29 spanish mackerel, 1 blue and and nearly reeled in another 10 fish that were lost while reeling them in so that was a very successful day in anyone’s book!

We had such a great experience on this trip that we are planning a full day off shore trip for next year with the Fishin Finnatic to have the chance at some bigger sport fish. I would recommend Captain Mark and the Fishin Fannatic to anyone looking for a great fishing experience in the OBX!”
