We had an incredible day fishing offshore on the Citation with Captain Gerrad & his mate. Captain…read moreGerrad's communication was excellent from start to finish, keeping us informed and putting us right on the fish. His mate was an absolute hustler on deck & worked non-stop to keep lines in the water and make sure everyone was taken care of. The boat itself is beautiful and outfitted with top-notch gear. What really stood out was the comfort: a spacious, air-conditioned indoor cabin with plenty of cushioned seating to cool off between bites, plus clean bathrooms onboard. It's got everything you need for a comfortable full day trip offshore. Highly recommend booking the Citation for your next offshore trip. You will not be disappointed!

Me and my daughter love fishing and when we checked in to Barrier Island Station, we were thrilled…read moreabout fishing the area. Our first visit in this place, we talked to Kelly and she's a very sweet, friendly and helpful. She recommended places to fish, possible fish to catch without over promising and bait to use. We also asked her about the charter and she hooked us later in the week to go fishing inshore (about 4-5 miles in the Atlantic). This was our first time experience in the area and of course, I didn't expect to catch anything but just to experience the trip. Captain George was very experienced and fun to be on the boat. Very professional and friendly and good at what he does (navigating the boat safely and finding the fish). Noah was our first mate; quiet and fun kid to be on the boat helping us all with our catch. Thanks Noah for all your help The other folks on the boat were funny and was just having fun during our entire time fishing. It was a great experience with great people in the boat enjoying the day fishing. At the end of the trip, we took home about 15 good size spanish mackerel. Cleaned and seasoned them for grilling and it was insanely delicious! if anyone wants to experience fishing during any season, contact Sharky's and they will hook you up.

Sharky's was wonderful to work with. We booked a very last minute fishing trip for our family of…read more4. We have a 9 and 12 yr old and we could not have asked for a better experience. We went out on The Sea Hag with Frank and his second mate Scott. They were so fun, patient, and knowledgeable. We caught a lot fish and made some really great family memories!! It exceeded our expectations, would absolutely do it again!! Kelly was wonderful as well at helping book the trip. A great company to work with, we had a wonderful time!!!

AVOID! We booked this charter for a group of 8 guys expecting to have a blast whether we caught…read morefish or just had a good time on the boat. To our surprise, we got nothing but a quick safety briefing, a talk about how to operate a door, and a quick rundown of how to use the restroom. Keep in mind this was a group of all adults. As we departed the marina to head out to the ocean, little did we know that would be the last we would see of our dear boat captain. He said nothing else to us for the remainder of the day. No explanation as to what he had planned for the day, no explanation as to what we would be fishing for, not even a where ya guys from. The hospitality was a ZERO. These guys made us feel like we had absolutely ruined their day for just stepping aboard their boat. DO NOT BOOK! I left two stars due to the fact that we did catch fish. Two fish to be exact, and when we did, once again the captain and his first mate had no hospitality. Yelling at us, "Get in the chair! What are you guys doing?" Maybe we would have know what to do if someone gave us a quick briefing on "Here's what to do when we hook up on one guys" BUT AGAIN WE GOT NOTHING!! Lastly, upon returning to the marina we were waiting for our two small fish to be processed and the Captain of the charter felt that it was necessary to come and haggle us for additional money. In his words, "hey you guys didn't tip". Our response, "you're absolutely right, you guys didn't do anything at all". He was mind blown. He said we needed to come up with additional money and to include a tip. When we said no, he said that our cash amount we had given him was short $60.00 when it was 100% not. This was an all around disappointment from the beginning to the end with nothing but false hope, 0 communication, and a Captain/Son duo that probably ought to just hang it up and stop chartering as a whole. In short, AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

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.

Great experience. I highly recommend.

Will only use them from now on.

Nice way to spend an afternoon…read more After beach, sand, sun, beach, sand, sun, it was a nice break to do something different. Our neighbors at the house we rented suggested dolphin watching and recommended Capt. Stuart Wescott and his tour. Wasn't too happy that I had to travel down to Manteo (car travel in the Outer Banks can be murder - worst than the GW bridge in rush hour). Luckily, it wasn't as bad as I had feared. The quaint little town of Manteo was an added bonus. Nice seaport-esque village with nice quaint little stores. As for the cruise itself, you actually sail with Capt Wescott. He was very nice and knowledgeable. Told silly jokes to keep the voyage light hearted. Sold drinks at a very reasonable price. The bathroom was also very convenient and clean. Strangely, this seems to be a selling point compared to their competitors. Saw many dolphins. Very docile and peaceful. Don't expect any flips or spins or twists. This isn't a SeaWorld show. The captain was very patient. Kept us out there a while until everyone had their fill of watching dolphins swim. After the initial excitement of finding and seeing the dolphins, there's only so much more you can watch, at least for me. On the downside, it is a touch expensive for a ferry ride but comparable to everyone else. Overall, a nice alternative If you need a break from the beach to let the sunburn recover.

My family and I have enjoyed this particular company for several years now. We always see dolphins…read more The Captain is very knowledgable and entertaining. The boat is spacious, clean and shaded. I highly recommend Outer Banks Cruises A.K.A. Captain Johnny's Dolphin Tour.
