Reel Livin Fishing Charters offers inshore, offshore, and a genuinely unique shrimping experience out of Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, led by Captain Tommie Jarman and crew. Trips run along the Intracoastal Waterway, the New River, and the Atlantic Ocean for a wide variety of catches.

A standout offering is a chance to join the crew aboard the Faith & Hope, a 35-foot wood trawler with 30-foot high skimmer frames (wings), for a hands-on, educational look at the workings of a real shrimp boat. The 4-hour trip runs along the New River, offering beautiful views and the process of dragging nets and hauling shrimp and crabs, with guests taking home up to 50 lbs of freshly caught shrimp plus crabs. Shrimping season runs in the fall, while crabbing is best in spring.

For anglers and curious travelers near Sneads Ferry looking for standard inshore or offshore fishing, or a genuinely rare working shrimp boat experience, Reel Livin Fishing Charters offers a distinctive operation with Captain Tommie Jarman.
