Shearwater Fishing Charters offers a family and kid-friendly fishing experience in the quaint atmosphere of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Trips run aboard a North Carolina-built 25′ 6″ Maycraft Pilot House, a serious and safe fishing boat with room to move around and some shade from the sun, equipped with fish-finding sonar, GPS navigation, and a Yamaha 250 HP engine.
Fishing runs primarily in nearshore locations around Wrightsville Beach over sand and artificial reef, using light tackle and trolling techniques to target Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Bonito, and Sharks. All tackle, rods, reels, bait, ice, and even fish cleaning are supplied — guests just need to bring drinks, snacks, and sunscreen.
Rates run $600 for a half-day (4 hours), with 3/4-day (6 hours), full-day (8 hours), and 9-hour bottom fishing trip options also available, comfortable for 5 people (max 6). Gulf Stream trips are capped at 5 people max. Full-day trips run $800. No deposit is lost if a trip is canceled due to weather.
For families and anglers near Wrightsville Beach looking for a well-equipped nearshore fishing charter, Shearwater Fishing Charters offers a straightforward, all-inclusive operation right on Causeway Drive.
