Quentin Collins5.0VerifiedOnce in a lifetime experince
Full day cobia on June 9, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a wonderful time onboard. Although we skunked out in the Cobia we still managed to catch 22 Spanish Mackerel and 2 Blue Fish. Our day started with a once in a lifetime experience traveling through the world famed Oregon Inlet. We were on fish as soon as we dropped the lines in the water and 1st Mate Wyatt was knowledgeable and walked is through what to look for when hooked and how to bring the fish aboard. He also gave us insight to the history of winter duck hunting in the area and some ecosystem challenges happening at the local beaches. This will be a treasured memory for the entire family. I’d highly recomend Captain Elliott, 1st mate Wyatt, and the Roanoke for any fishing charters, you won’t be disappointed.
David KnipferRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewThanks Captain Elliott!
6 Hour Tower Trip on October 8, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Elliott did a fantastic job tailoring this 6-hour trip to the weather and our fishing earlier this week. He put us on sea bass and we caught 27 of them. Mate Sage is a bundle of energy working hard to keep us in the water and fishing. Thank you both for an excellent fishing experience. David

Had to delay the trip a couple of days due to some pending weather. Captain Elliot and Mate Wyatt were awesome to deal with, very communicative and a lot of fun on the boat. Was a great trip and we will surely go out on Roanoke Sportfishing again!
