If you’re ready to have fun fishing in Wilmington, we’ve got you covered with Whipsaw Charters.

Great Barracuda, Amberjack, Cobia, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), King Mackerel (Kingfish), Sailfish, Red Snapper, Black Seabass, Black Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions.

On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with Whipsaw Charters are kid-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 42’ Offshore sport fishing with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Whipsaw Charters!
