Bogue Sound Charters – Emerald Isle 

Inexperienced fishermen here. We booked online and there was a scheduling mix up but William went above and beyond to make it happen for us on a different day. My son’s first time in the ocean and William was a great teacher, very respectful, had great stories about growing up local and knowing good spots. Very understanding and patient when my son got sea sick. At one point we couldn’t get a third line baited because they were biting great. Caught mostly sharks which put up a fun fight. William even sent us a video of my son and I both reeling in sharks at the same time. My son’s overall impression, “Totally worth the puke.” We both had an excellent time and highly recommend William.

Had a great day with William! Professional, safe and got us on the fish all day!

Caught a dozen fish and two blue crabs. Captain William knows where to go. The captain was always polite and respectful and made us feel very comfortable.

Captain Will Parker is extremely engaged and congenial. We had our 4 year old grandson along and he was absolutely fabulous with him. We caught Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, Sea Trout, Bluefish, and other fish. A highlight was taking our grandson to an island to see the wild horses. A very wonderful day.

Captain William is a knowledgeable fisherman with a kind and relaxed personality. We took our teenager and 2 friends out on a half day charter and it was spectacular inspite a cold morning. We kept catching fish so we didn't care about the cold. Every time Captain William tried to move the boat somewhere new, we caught a fish. If you have a family or just out with friends I would highly recommend this charter. Oh, and he also fileted our fish for us. Delicious!!

William was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the kids. I would definitely recommend him as your captain!

If you're looking for a welcoming and exciting fishing trip hosted by a local, look no further than Captain William! Not only is he knowledgeable about the crystal coast, but he also takes measures to ensure safety and comfort of his clients. As a young woman, I felt extremely safe being around William and fishing on his boat. Overall, we had a great trip and caught some nice fish!

My kids and I had a blast with captain William. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. You could truly tell he wanted us to succeed and have the best experience possible. Caught some fish, had some laughs. I would definitely recommend him and we charter him again!

Good trip. Good Capt. Caught fish and had a good time. Recommended.

We had a great day in the water! Captain William was looking out for our best interests and gave it all he had to make our day a good one! He is honest, respectful, and knows the territory.
