Captain Brian and his first mate James are fantastic and took great care of us to make sure we had a great time and caught fish. We caught mahi-mahi and tilefish. We had so much fun we booked a second trip for the next day. The boat is a 54-footer and rides beautifully out in the swells. It's very roomy and comfortable inside to relax or you can even take a nap on the ride out or the ride back in but the view is so fantastic you'll probably want to just stay out on the fishing cockpit and take pictures all the way out. We saw flying fish and pilot whales and manta rays. You can't go wrong booking a charter with Captain Brian White!

Aaron's handling of the boat was incredible, and the speed at which Bob changed rigs and lures was awesome to watch. These two never stopped working the whole 6 hours to get us on fish. We tried to catch a couple cobia we saw, then trolled for Spanish mackerel. We caught a couple and then spotted a school of drum and hooked into a nice 29" fish. We then trolled some more catching several nice spanish mackerel. We bottom fished some structures and caught black sea bass of various sizes with a couple keepers. Aaron and Bob worked well together and were constantly working to put us on fish. I can not recommend them enough

All the rods were ready to go as soon as we got out there. He again did a great job putting us on the fish. (We just want to catch, not picky with what we're catching!). His boat rides smooth and he does a good job of keeping it as still as possible when fishing. (Meaning, it doesn't require a lot of balance to stand and fish and move about the boat - the sides are high enough that you don't have to worry about falling off. One of my children has balance issues, so this is a real plus for us.) another one of my kids gets motion sickness easily, but has never had a problem on his boat. My third kid has ADHD and is super hyper, and Cpt. Donnie was great with him (never lost his patience and even seemed to entertain him.) He's taken us around Oregon inlet and behind bodie island lighthouse. Scenery is a beautiful as the experience is fun. Dolphins are always spotted - we generally go in mid-October during our annual obx vacation. We look forward to going out with him again next year. Would definitely recommend.

I've been fishing with Donnie on the DOA since the early 2000's. This guy gives it his all. I've…read morelearned so much about all types of fishing while being on his boat. No matter if it's fishing in the sound, near shore or slightly offshore this guy is knowledgable on navigating the local waters and catching fish. He is that guide that will explain why "we" are fishing a certain way using a certain technique. If you want to learn how to catch numerous species of fish depending on the time of the year as well as learn about the water and weather patterns and overall become a better angler, book a trip. You won't be disappointed.

BLUF: A fun outing for friends and family with a safe and experienced Captain and waterman…read more I come from a family of waterman and waterwomen so I always enjoy learning the craft of others. Since I'd never been shrimping and my knowledge was limited to what I learned from Lieutenant Dan I thought it would be fun to book a trip with Captain Marc. We booked a three hour tour on the Roanoke Sound. No Gilligan or skipper but we had Capt Marc and first mate Aiden. Also, the outcome was much better than that on Gilligan's Island. We spent most of the time Shrimpin ' and then quickly had a half bushel basket overflowing with nice crabs - mostly, full #1s and a few measure-worthy Jimmy's. Shrimping was fun and interesting but our catch wasn't that great. The brown shrimp had left the Sound and the green shrimp weren't running yet. We caught enough shrimp to fill a gallon bag half way. Even if we hadn't caught any shrimp I would have had a blast. It was neat to see the process and what was in the net when it came up - everything from a rusty rogue crab pot to an ugly Oyster Toasfish to a tropical-looking butterfly fish. When the shrimp net came up we got to sort through the catch - shrimp were set aside, small fish were saved for bait and all other sea creatures were safely returned to the Sound. Despite having seven crabbers in my party in including two commercial crabbers - we loved pulling pots from the water and culling our catch. My crabbing family uses trotlines so pulling pots was a new experience for us. Ultimately We took our catch which was the 1/2 gallon bag of shrimp and 3/4 bushel basket crabs home in our cooler and enjoyed them all. We also enjoyed the company of the first (and only) Mate Aiden. He worked hard to keep the boat clean and organized and answered our questions. Three hours was just enough time for our group but I can see where others would enjoy a little more time on the boat. The experience was very chill which I liked but a few members of my party were wishing we had a card game or something to play. For an August trip we packed a cooler, water, soft drinks, sunscreen, hats and a few light snacks. Overall, this was a great experience and a great crew.

Like other said, it seems like the honey hole were all busted, not a lot, all small fishes; pig fish, sea mow(?)...only went to two places, then big rain came down for the reminder of the trip (1-1 & 1/2 hour). I thought the captain would check the radar and took us some brighter or non-heavy -raining places... It's a long trip back to the seaport, several kids got seasick. Near the end, boat was stuck twice! Passengers were ordered to one end of the boat, so it could be out of mud or sand bottom. Smokes were coming from the engine room. At one point, everyone on the boat was thinking about life jacket and ocean swimming under heavy rains! Finally comes the rescue, a small towboat, got us out of trouble and safely back to the shore. What an experience, almost like one of these disastrous movie scenes! The crew (Cameli and James?) did a great job, teaching us fishing, recognizing the fishes, and helping with tangled fish lines. They helped to rescue the boat, and offer some comfort to little kids and calm them down. It could be a way-better experience if some preparation were done, like reading the radar or better designing the trip route.
