This review is based purely on customer service and not on a dive experience…read more Hubby booked a dive trip for 2 and unfortunately we had to cancel. We gave almost 2 weeks notice of cancellation and they said that they already charged our credit card $50 per person and that due to our cancellation, they would give us the $100 in store credit. Are you kidding me? Hubbie called them back and they had to call us back after talking to an owner. We finally received our refund after the owner approved it. By the way, this is their posted cancellation policy: "Cancellations less than 4 days before a single day trip are subject to the full charge if your spot can not be filled" Hopefully their clients will write some reviews of their dive experiences and drown this 2 star review in a sea of 5 star reviews!

I had several experiences with Scuba Now before I decided to offer a review on them. While visiting…read moreWilmington I decided to look into dives in the area and called a few local shops. Overall everyone was very friendly but the folks at Scuba Now took a little extra time to educate me on the dives in the area that would be of interest to me and the current conditions so I knew the best day to go. This was really cool for someone who doesn't know the area and that little bit of extra service is why I chose to go with them. I went on two drive trips and both went great, the folks at the shop were friendly and helpful to the out of towner with virtually no gear. The crew on the boat (Ron, Pat & Dave) were awesome. Offered tons of info on the area operated a fun and friendly boat while still making sure we were safe. I've gone to a lot of places I didn't know and booked dives. It can be challenging to know who to trust for the best sites and conditions and who needs to fill a boat for the day. A+ experience thanks everyone.

I was needing some nice rod holders for my boat. I've always liked Lee's rod holders so I found…read moretheir website and ordered. Then I noticed they had relocated to Wilmington NC about 5 years ago - where I live! So I called them to see if I could just pick up what I needed. I talked to Jesse Lee (yes, the Lee family). They were just awesome - canceled my on line order, had exactly what I wanted and were super nice to boot. Can't say enough good things about the experience. It is just way cool that they are now here in North Carolina!

Contacted Judson Brock through a FB page for an eight-hour offshore trip. He was quick to reply…read more Even though it was February he was booking for June. Asked for a 1/3 deposit. Couple days prior to the charter, we were contacted and asked if trip could be delayed a day as weather would be better. He put us on some big fish. Caught limit on Grouper and they were big! I rarely give five stars reviews, but Judson earned this one. Book now, he is a busy man.

So happy we booked with Mike. He took my family of 4 kids and two adults out and made sure they…read morehad a good day. All the kids caught fish. More than anything he is a nice guy who is honest and easy to work with. Lots of guys can catch fish, but I think you'll find if you can get an opening you'll be happy you went. Found his prices reasonable and he communicates well by email, text or phone.

We chose to contact Mike after doing a lot of research on the web for a fishing charter near N…read moreTopsail, where our family we staying for a week on vacation. His seemed the most flexible and had decent rates. Only a couple of us had done ocean fishing before so we didn't know what we wanted to fish for and definitely weren't too experienced. The number listed was his cell. He answered on the first try and walked me through how many people we could fit on the boat, what we would fish for, what to expect, etc. We planned on a half day charter mainly for Atlantic Spanish Mackerel 3 days later (I called on a Sunday and he had a half day Mon or Wed available). We had the max of 6 passengers so he said fishing for mackerel would give us a lot of action and would catch a lot of fish. He touched base the night before to tell us where to meet (depended on the tide, etc.) and to make sure we were all set. He provided all the bait and everything and we didn't need licenses. There was no deposit or anything. Just cash when we got going. He also cut us a little bit of a break for the cost for each additional person. We had to drive 45 min to Wrightsville beach because it was also the 4th of July and he said boat traffic wouldn't be as bad there. Sure enough Mike got us going right off the beach and we started catching mackerel pretty quick. He said it was an off-day maybe because of a cold front coming in so we caught much less fish than expected, but it was still a good time. He was nice and clearly very knowledgable and experienced plus his boat was very clean and updated. Take Dramamine the night before though for sea sickness. You also get to keep anything you catch. When we were wrapping up Mike filleted our fish for us to take home at no extra charge and even gave us a recipe and instructions on how to prepare mackerel. We ended up having more than enough fish for 11 people and it was delicious! Not overly fishy at all. A half day was about 7am-11am. We feel guilty because we forgot to tip him but we would definitely recommend this charter to anyone! He mentioned for a full day he can take you to fish for mahi and king mackerel way off shore which would be fun too, just more expensive.

If you are looking for stress-free enjoyable fishing trip you need to try Captain Andre. We live…read moreover three hours away from WIlmington but we have gone out with Captain Andre four different times over the last 10 years. He brings a lifetime of fishing knowledge with him to assure that you are given the best opportunity to land fish. Go to his website to read about his journey from South Africa to Wrightsville Beach! We went out with Captain on Easter weekend. The weather was less than ideal. The temperature was cold and the wind was blowing. He sent us a text and offered to delay our 8am start time to 10am and allow it to warm up. That was a great idea. It was a little warmer at 10am. We met Andre at the dock where we were instructed to meet. He greeted us and welcomed our party of 5 onto the boat. He gave us a brief lesson on safety, boating, and Coast Guard Assistance. We were then off to attempt trolling for a few minutes. The wind began to slow so we did some bottom fishing. The fishing was a little slow but we were catching a few. The wind almost stopped so he took us to a few more places where the fishing picked up. We caught sea bass, trigger fish, grouper, pinfish, and an assortment of other fish. Everyone in the boat were reeling them in. Andre removed the fish from the line and baited the hooks. He even filleted our fish for us and placed the fillets in a plastic bag. We cooked the fish that night so we can attest to the fact that he did a good job filleting them. We actually exceeded our four hours by a lot. Andre kept doing everything he could to make our trip successful and enjoyable. My money was well spent. I recommend this fishing charter to anyone!

Fishing with Captain Jot is like going out with good fishing buddy. Been out with him twice now and…read morehe always brings some good stories with putting you one the spot to bend some rods. I'm an avid fisherman; but my in-laws not so much. Jot brings my in-laws on and has them looking like seasoned pros. The only time they go fishing is with Jot and I. Though that may be changing. Last trip one of them went home with a new fishing rod and wants to introduce his sons to fishing. The only thing I wish Captain Jot would change is to get a bigger boat. I have more in-laws that want to go fishing next time and Jot's boat only fishes 4. Hope he gets enough business to upgrade... but not too much that I can't book with him next summer. Tight lines and clear water!
