What guests are Saying:

“I’ve spent plenty of time on the water around Oak Island over the years, and Dylan has become the captain my group and I call. Whether we’re heading offshore or staying in the creeks, he has a way of finding fish even on those tough days.

Beyond the fishing, he’s great with the younger ones. He’s taken my 13-year-old son and his friends out several times and has been incredibly patient with them. He recently put them on a trout that they’ll be talking about for years. A true lifetime catch. He’s a professional, a hard worker, and just a solid guy to have at the helm. Highly recommend him for anyone, from serious anglers to families looking for a great day out.

“We had the absolute BEST time with Captain Dylan for my friend’s 50th birthday girls’ weekend! We weren't looking to fish; we just wanted a fun, relaxing afternoon on the water, and Dylan delivered exactly what we needed.

He took us on a gorgeous cruise up the Intracoastal to Southport for some drinks, then we headed back toward 'The Point' to swim and hang out. He was such a pro. He had ice ready for our drinks, let us take over the music, and just let us dance and be loud while he navigated. He has a great vibe; he stayed engaged enough to tell us about the area but also gave us our space to just be girls and celebrate. We’ll definitely be back!

“If you're looking to get out on the water, you couldn't ask for a better guide. Dylan is an amazing captain. He is an expert in the waterways, tides, species, and feeding times.

What truly sets this experience apart, however, is the captain's incredible patience and hospitality. Dylan has a gift for keeping the younger ones engaged, safe, and excited. From teaching the basics of a cast to celebrating every little catch, they make sure the kids leave with a lifelong love for the sport. For older guests or those who might have limited mobility and zero fishing experience, the captain is exceptionally attentive. Dylan handles all the heavy lifting—rigging lines, baiting hooks, and offering steady support—ensuring that everyone, regardless of their skill level, feels like a pro.

It’s rare to find someone who balances expert-level local knowledge with such a kind, inclusive spirit. It wasn't just a fishing trip; it was a perfect day on the water for the whole family. Highly recommended!
