How far do we run offshore?
Due to close proximity of a shelf around the island, we can find a large migratory species like Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo minutes from where we dock. However, depending on the time of year and sea conditions, we may run 30 minutes or so prior to fishing. If you wish to fish the outer banks offshore, please plan a 6 or 8 hour charter.
