Cameron Cyr5.0VerifiedNewSlaying Sea Bass
3/4 Day Trip on October 13, 2026 • 5 adultsAside from the app making it super easy to book with Captain Jack, Captain Jack called to confirm the booking and provided detailed instructions on how to arrive and where to park. He welcomed us aboard with his first mate, Gavin, and the two took us on a 3/4 day of slaying sea bass. When a slow trolling starting didnt get us hauling in the big ones, captain wasted no time and took us right to some reefs and structures. From then on it was sea bass and jacks for the rest of the day!
Brittany Fisher5.0Verifiedgreat first trip
Half Day Trip on August 11, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe went out with captain Duke and First mate Gavin on our first ever trip on the ocean. We had smooth water and trolled - caught 25 Blues and 5 good sized spanish and lost about 10 others. We were a group of 4 adults and two kids ages 5 and 9. The kids had fun. Gavin was great about teaching them what we were using and he kept up with all the poles bending. We had two times that 4 of 5 poles hit at once. would love to go further out next time and do some fishing for some larger fish but it was a fun trip!
Ross PedersenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHot on the Blues!
Half Day Trip on August 6, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenThis was a great trip! We did a 4 hour inshore trip and brought home 46 Blues and Spanish Mackerel. We probably had 20 or more come off the hook and lost a couple at the boat but with that many fish nobody fretted a bit! The kids actually needed a break and went and relaxed in air conditioned cabin for a bit. Gavin was very personable, experienced, and great with everyone no matter their fishing experience. We'd book again with Captain Duke and Gavin in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Half Day Trip on July 6, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great time and caught lots of spanish mackerel for eating. Gavin, the first mate, was very personable and great with the kids. We had an awesome time with our kiddos and were in good hands with Capt Duke and Gavin! Highly recommend! Will be going again next time we are in OBX.
Jeff Benson5.0VerifiedCaptain Duke 3/4 day
3/4 Day Trip on May 14, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had a wonderful day on the water with Captain Duke and mate Gaven! we were on fish within five minutes of dipping a line. Once that spot dried up, they were quick to shift to another location to put us on fish again. We would definitely book with Captain Duke again!! Thanks for the great memories!
Jamie Hagenbuch5.0VerifiedBest Experience
Half Day Trip - 11:00 AM on April 10, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had the absolute best fishing experience with Duke and Gavin! We’ll definitely be booking another trip with them. They’re genuinely amazing guys, and you can tell they truly love what they do out on the water. We were a little worried we might not catch anything, but we ended up landing nine fish—such an awesome and memorable day from start to finish! Hands down the best experience. Thank you both for an unforgettable trip!!

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 30, 2026 • 6 adultsThis was the 4th time i have used Captain Duke and it never disaapoints. It was the first time on the charter for four members of our group and they had a fabulous time. We went out and caught 8 sharks. First mate Gavin is the best.
