Billy Halsey5.0VerifiedBest charter on Hatteras!
3/4 Day Trip on September 30, 2026 • 2 adultsIt was a honeymoon trip for my wife and I. Despite weather shutting down Hatteras, Aaron picked us up off the beach on Ocracoke. We caught bluefish and spanish mackerel. We attempted shark fishing and thought we had hooked one, but it ended up being a large sting ray. It fought harder than anything I've ever caught! It was a 40-minute war of attrition to see if me or the ray would give up first. I got it to the boat, and then we cut it loose. Aaron took pictures of us with our catch for our honeymoon scrapbook and dropped us off at Ocracoke, and took our fish back to the marina to clean and package for us. On his way back, he saw a school of red drum and caught one to throw in with our catch as a surprise for us. I've done many charters on OBX, but Captian Aaron with Tightline Charters was hands down my best experience!
Jena BrownRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest Trip and Awesome Captain!!!
Full Day Trip on June 28, 2026 • 4 adultswe have done several charter trips on OBX, but Tightline was by far the best one we have ever done! Capt Aaron far exceeded our expectations, he got us on the fish, gave excellent advice that will help future fishing adventures about techniques of casting, etc. Highly recommend taking a trip with him!
Mike Hill5.0Verifiedstarted slow but heated up at the end!
Half Day Trip on September 18, 2026 • 2 adultsAaron was absolutely the best! The bite was tough at the beginning but Aaron was determined to find some fish and I ended up catching multiple species and lit up the Blues before coming back into the dock. i will be back and Aaron is a top notch Captain!

Truly an amazing experience!! The fishing was great, but it was Captain Aaron that made the trip, his attitude and dedication was outstanding. We had a ton of fun!!! Best charter trip I have ever been on!!!! We had a ton of fun. Call this Captain and get the trip of a lifetime!!!
Aaron knows the area, the sound and best fishing spots, even though the fish just weren’t biting that today for us and other charters he made sure to get us somewhere to catch something. He is very knowledgeable about the fish and area. Highly recommended
