Book an Outer Banks Fishing Charter
With all the different types of fishing charters available on the Outer Banks it can be hard to decide which charter trip to choose. One of the best aspects of consulting Sharky's before scheduling your charter is that we can discuss a custom OBX charter centered around your personal needs. Whether you are looking for an inshore or near shore charter, offshore charter, Pamlico Sound charter, or even a group share makeup charter just for yourself, we'll work hard to accommodate your individual needs. We know what questions to ask and how to custom design your best charter trip based on your answers.
Providing the very best customer service on the Outer Banks is, and always has been, the top priority for Sharky’s Charters. For those customers who already know which type of charter they desire we now offer the ease of online booking as an alternative way of booking your fishing charter through the new “Book Now” feature. But please don't forget our professional customer service is always available by phone or email to assist you with answering questions for assurance you are booking the perfect fishing excursion for your group with the best charter boat.
Fuel Shortages: Currently the country has been plunged into a fuel shortage situation that is effecting every single American and business. Fuel has always been a major expense that is calculated into the pricing of a fishing charter simply because our safe reliable boats use a lot of fuel on every trip. We will continue to keep our pricing at the very minimum that we can afford and still be able to run charters but we want our customers to understand that the price of charters at this time is based on the price of the fuel. Unfortunately, it may change daily even if you have a previous reservation. For that reason, we suggest contacting us or the Captain before your charter in order to confirm the current charter price. Customers will have the option of sailing at that price or declining their charter and receiving a full refund of any deposit they made.
When booking onine please always be sure to discuss the charter you have selected with the captain before leaving the dock to eliminate any possibility of a discrepency or confusion. With so many options available it can sometimes be easy for a miscommunication to happen. We want to be very sure that our charter guests are getting the trip they signed up to receive. Here is a list of our charter types available.
Near Shore Charters - Near shore charters are usually done within sight of the beach. The four hour (half day) charters are perfect for families with young anglers as well as groups that just want to catch fish without those long four hour plus commutes to offshore. Most near shore trips are done trolling small spoons or similar lures around schools of bluefish and spanish mackerel. Sometimes during near shore and inshore trips larger species such as cobia or false albacore are also spotted and targeted but these bigger fish are usually seasonal and not guaranteed. Please discuss this with the captain before leaving the dock so that you will know the odds. We also now offer 3/4 day (6 hour) and even full day (8 hour) near shore trips that can go a bit further off the beach or down the beach where we might have the opportunity to find species like king mackerel, sharks and amberjack. Again these species are often seasonal and not a guarantee to be within our range on a near shore charter.
(4 hour $700, 6 hour $1,000, 8 hour $1,300)
Book Near Shore Charter
Extended 3/4 Day Intermediate Charters - We now offer 3/4 day (6 hour) intermediate charters. These charters are designed to venture between 3 and 20 miles outside the inlet. The species often available on these trips include king mackerel, spanish mackerel, bluefish and on occasion some mahi. Also false albacore and cobia when in season. Since these species are seasonal please always discuss what species you might expect to target on your intermediate charter before leaving the dock.
(6 hour $1,500)
Book 3/4 Day Intermediate Charter
Deep Sea Full Day Offshore Trolling - This is the big game sportfishing adventure the Outer Banks has become famous for providing. Custom designed and rigged sportfishing yachts running 30 to 40 miles offshore and trolling several lines and teasers for the aggressive pelagic species living in and around the Gulf Stream. Anglers can sit back and watch a professional crew do their magic setting out the lines while waiting to haul in the fish that dreams are made from. OBX offshore species might include yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, wahoo, mahi, mako sharks, sailfish, white marlin and our apex predatory species blue marlin. A deep sea offshore fishing trip is the ultimate sport fishing excursion! All species are seasonal so please discuss with your captain what might be available on your trip.
($2,400)
Book Deep Sea Full Day Charter
Full Day Intermediate Charter - This charter offers a unique experience whereby bottom and/or trolling methods would be used. The weather conditions and seasonal openings are determining factors, but your captain will ensure you have the best experience possible. He may take your group about 30 miles offshore, or down to the southern end of the island. Possible species you may see, again depending on weather and seasonal openings, are tilefish, sea bass, king mackerel, false albacore, amberjack, triggerfish, mahi, and spanish mackerel.
($2,000)
Full Day Intermediate Charter
Group Share Makeup Charters - As charter fishing has gotten more expensive over the past few years, the popularity of group share makeup charters has increased. These trips are called many things along the Outer Banks including makeup, group share, walk-on and open boat charters. At Sharky's we have become the authority in putting individual anglers together with groups (usually a total of six anglers) so that they can share expenses and enjoy an exciting offshore sportfishing experience. We make every effort within our means to find the additional anglers you require to fill your trip including maintaining a list of available anglers and dates. We even maintain a "short notice" list of anglers that, if available, are willing to help fill out a charter. Give us a call and let us get you on your next charter. We put people together!
Note: Once we have enough anglers to fill a makeup charter, in order to protect everyone involved from potential "no shows", we will contact all anglers and request payment in advance of the charter with a credit card.

Back Country/Pamlico Sound Inshore Charters - We have slightly smaller boats available for usually up to four anglers on our Back Country or Pamlico Sound charters. These trips are guided by USCG licensed professional captains so your fishing gear and even your fishing licenses are covered by the boat. Perfect for the visiting tourist. Depending on what is biting these trips can be arranged for striped bass, speckled trout, red drum, grey trout, flounder, etc. We have found that these are also great last minute "fall-back" trips when your offshore or near shore trip is being canceled due to weather or sea conditions. They can save your Outer Banks fishing vacation!
