I read the reviews of other Yelpers and totally agree Captain Chad and the staff of the marina are…read moreso incredibly nice. The marina has anything that you'd want from a 7-11 or bodega so stock up and give them the business (including local favorite ice cream sandwiches from Surfing Spoon). But I know why you're reading this and it's why I looked to Yelp also. Chad is super knowledgeable and made our charter so safe and enjoyable for our family. We had my dad and my 7-year old son. My dad has fished his entire life, but my son and I haven't. As others mentioned, Chad keeps the bait stocked and makes sure all have an enjoyable time without the worry. We caught sooo many fish and the trout tasted so incredibly fresh. We will be sure to put Chad into our OBX roladex and call him for our next excursion!

Over the course of 4 hours, we never had time to eat because we were so busy catching fish! We went home with over 20 keepers and a basket full of blue crab! In addition, captain Chad knew the area because he grew up there and he was helpful throughout! My 11 year old son caught a ton and Chad was there each time to help all us bait, net, and navigating the experience! Thank you, Captain Chad!

Captain Buz and his deck hand Max did a GREAT job on our charter. My buddy and I chartered the…read moreJawfly for a half day fishing trip with our sons (5 of us in total). Buz was firm with his expectations of the boys (10, 11 & 12) with regard to the safety, gave us a short brief on his boat (fire extinguishers, life jackets, the head, etc.) and we shoved off. I sat up front with Buz on the way out and he was more than happy to answer all my questions, show me the various navigation gauges, and share his knowledge as an ol salty captain. We pulled up to a couple of spots and dropped lines immediately, Max was very good with prepping the rigs and bait. We were on the fish quickly and when the action died down we pulled our lines and moved to the next spot. Very little if any downtime once we started fishing. Max and Buz did a great job of hooking fish when the action started to die down and when the had one on the line they handed the rod off to one of our boys to reel in. Buz clean our catch on our way back and once at the dock we settled up our tab and tipped $120 for the captain and deck hand to split up. Great time, Buz and Max were great with the boys, highly recommend this charter and if we're down again we'll go back out with Captain Buz on the Jawfly!!

Great experience. I highly recommend.

Wasn't a fan. Went with a few families and a bunch of kids and was completely underwhelmed…read more Captain Shack gave us a brief safety lecture and then he and his staff ignored us for the rest of the trip. The Captain's son was so unfriendly I didn't even get his name. I know the other kid was Caden, and there was nothing going on there either. They had no personality whatsoever, at least around families and kids, all of whom were well behaved. No explanation about where we were going or what we were doing. The deckhands vaped and ate on deck, talking to themselves and didn't move much. They didn't catch much fish either, which I understand can be the luck of the draw, but if their technique was at all like their personalities, it's no wonder we were mostly empty handed. Avoid this outfitter at all costs if you want to interact with the crew or if you are looking for friendly people. Would absolutely not recommend with kids and families.

Our divemaster (Sara) and captain (Mark) both went out of their way to ensure everyone aboard had a great trip, and were especially patient & helpful with a couple very seasick newbies (aka my daughter and I LOL). Everyone we encountered at RIO clearly loves what they do, and it definitely shows. We will certainly book with them again anytime we visit OBX, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and safe wreck dive experience!

This year the weather wasn't great, but we still managed to catch 200 lbs of tuna. Captain Reed did keep us updated on the weather report and offered us the option to reschedule. We chose not to reschedule and are happy with that decision. Captain Reed's boat is clean and well maintained. The cabin is air conditioned and has ample space for storing our items (including refrigerator space). There is a bathroom, table, and couch in the cabin. Then additional shaded seating on the deck. Fishing equipment is high quality and the first mate keeps the lines baited and maintained. A chair is set up that holds the rod making it much easier to reel in your catch. You keep your catch and have the option at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center to have your catch cleaned. Tips: They fill up quick so book in advance. Full-day charters are recommended in NC as it takes about 2-3 hours to reach the best fishing spots.
