Our trip was amazing. 4 adults 2 kids and CaptIn Walker was fantastic. Finn was his only mate that day and he was great as well. We dropped nets to drag in approximately 8lbs of fresh beautiful shrimp.  We harvested baskets and left with a full bushels of beautiful blue crab. Walker let us help with nets and baskets and everyone had an amazing time. We are from upstate N.Y. and this was a totally new experience that we will definitely do again and definitely with Croatan Charters. Thanks walker for your excellent hospitality and knowledge to answer all our crazy questions. Oh and Lewis loved sitting in the captain seat.

My spouse and I took our two kids (6 & 8) on the 4 hour tour that departed at 11 AM. The captain (actually Captain Mike’s son) and first mate were so great with us and the kids and made sure we had a good time. They were clearly very proficient in both crabbing and fishing. We pulled in a bushel of crabs and almost a dozen fish too, which seemed pretty good for the time of day and before peak crabbing season. They even cleaned our fish for us when we got back to the dock!
Probably could’ve enjoyed the 2 hour option, but since the weather was so nice, we didn’t mind the extra time in the boat.
Helpful tips I’m glad we received before going:
1) bring water and snacks.
2) don’t drink too much water because there’s no bathroom!
3) make sure you have cash to tip (20% at least) and pay your final installment of the fees.
Absolutely recommend this charter to others. We had success in our haul and a very enjoyable trip!

The whole family had a great trip. The whole team was great. They were responsive prior to the trip and made sure everyone had fun during the trip.The boat had a canopy over it so it was shaded which made the trip comfortable. We came home with enough shrimp and grabs to feed our house of 15.  We still have more to eat:). Our 8,10, and 12year old were all engaged and learned a lot. Highly Recommend as we will do it again!

This was an excellent trip. We ended up with 7lbs of shrimp and a bushel of blue crab. The kids had a blast and were not bored at all.
