Cape Hatteras Charter Fishing, North Carolina Fishing Boat Charters

This is where your Cape Hatteras charter fishing vacation begins, anglers venture to Cape Hatteras Islant Resort of the Outer Banks, and other coastal regions of North Carolina for their sportfishing vacations because of stories of 1000 pound Blue Marlin and other big game sportfish that create memories to talk about for entire lifetimes. Captains of Cape Hatteras charter fishing boats tell big fish stories of long back tiring fights with fish that make golden reels sing and stories of big Blue Marlin that appear to walk across the water on their tail fins. There are tall tales of Mako sharks big enough to eat a man whole to not so tall tales of monster sized Bluefin tuna that top 500 pounds.

NC Fishing for Tuna

Tuna fishing in NC can be an exciting action packed fishing experience and when you plan one of these trips you must consider the Captain's experience when booking your charter. Selecting an experienced Captain is crucial. If you are fishing out of Oregon Inlet or Cape Hatteras and want your entire crew to enjoy some fast Yellowfin Tuna action then you need an experienced well-seasoned NC charter Captain and crew. Tuna fishing can result in multiple hook-ups especially when chunking and the action can quickly get out of control so you will also want a first mate that has many tuna trips under his belt so he won't lose his cool under the pressure.

Fishing charters like the boat pictured here offer anglers plenty of fishing room and comfort for those long runsthe Captain may decide on in order to catch fish.
