Things to Do on Ocracoke: Charter Fishing

This island puts anglers in an enviable location for onshore and offshore charter fishing, and this sport is certainly one of the most popular things to do in Ocracoke. There’s no shortage of places to fish from the harbor, on the pristine beaches and on along the sound. However, if you opt for an Ocracoke fishing charter, it includes the thrill of feeling the ocean wind against your face and a boat rocking underfoot. These experiences take anglers out into the sound or ocean aboard boats equipped with top-of-the-line gear and captained by knowledgeable locals. There’s even the option to slow down the pace of your Ocracoke fishing charter when you choose a guided kayak charter trip, where the savvy guides lead you to excellent spots for finding flounder, trout, sheepshead, cobia and more. Options for Ocracoke fishing charters vary from half-day to full-day trips, so fishermen and women can create the experience that works best for their schedules.
