Frequently asked questions.

Do i need to bring any of my own gear?

No! Adrenaline Fishing Charters will provide top of the line gear that your entire party is free to use. This includes rods, reels, gaffs, nets, and anything else you could potentially need. Please do not bring any of these items without consulting with our crew first.

Can we bring food/drinks/snacks?

Of course. Please feel free to bring any food, drinks, and snacks that you and your party might want on our trip. We only ask that you refrain from bringing any glass bottles or red wine.

How many people can we bring?

Our captain’s licenses allow 6 people to be aboard our charter.

Where do we launch from?

We will mainly be launching the boat out of Manteo’s Pirate’s Cove public boat launch. If you and your group are staying somewhere else, we can attempt to accommodate and launch closer to you as long as we have ample time to plan!

Do I need to bring sunscreen?

Yes. Adrenaline Fishing Charters will not provide sunscreen for your party. We ask that you apply any spray sunscreen before stepping onto the boat as the spray can damage the interior. However, we highly recommend that you bring lotion-style sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses with you on your trip.

can i bring my dog?

Unfortunately, your four-legged friends will not be able to join your charter.

should i do a full day or half day charter?

This depends on your goal for your charter. If you want to catch fish like tuna, mahi mahi, and sailfish - you should opt for our full day off-shore charter. Otherwise, near-shore charters might work for you. Feel free to email us or call us to talk more specifics.

can kids come?

Yes, but no kids under the age of 4. We do recognize and comply with the National Coast Guard safety guidelines - by this, we mean that any children ages 12 and under must wear a life vest at all times when on our boat.

Can we keep what we catch?

Yes. We will let you keep whatever you catch as long as it is in compliance with North Carolina guidelines.

Do i need my fishing license?

No, you do not need to apply for or obtain a fishing license before coming aboard our charter.

Should i tip?

Yes. Although not a requirement, it is industry standard to tip your crew 15-20%. (yes, they work for tips).

WHAT IF I GET SEA SICK?

THE WATER WON’T ALWAYS BE CALM. CHANCES ARE, IT WILL GET ROCKY AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER ON YOUR TRIP. IF YOU ARE MORE INCLINED TO GETTING SEA SICK OR MOTION SICKNESS, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE DRAMAMINE BEFORE BOARDING OUR BOAT, OR WEARING ANTI-NAUSEA BANDS WHILE ABOARD THE BOAT. WE DO NOT PROVIDE THESE.
