Here at Custom Sound Charters on North Carolina's Outer Banks we offer a variety of trips that are not offered by any other charter service on the OBX.

While our home port is Cape Hatteras, we fish from Oriental NC for Red Drum to the waters of the Chesapeake Bay for big Striped Bass.

The Waterman and Inlet trips which involves pulling a net for shrimp and crabs combined with light tackle rod & reel fishing in the calm backwaters of the sounds are excellent family adventures.

During the summer and fall we'll take you bottom fishing for Groupers, Tilefish, Triggerfish and Seabass and spend part of the time trolling for King mackerel, Wahoo and Dolphin.

We offer half and full day trips and more fun than you can shake a stick at. Visit our website for fishing reports and start creating your "Custom Sound Charter"

The Marauder is a 35 foot Bertram Sport fisher that has been fully customized for fishing the near shore waters of the Outer banks. The 35 Bertram has long been regarded as one of the softest riding boats in her class and is powered by a pair of electronic controlled 380 horse power Cummins diesel engines that make the Marauder a fast, quiet and smokeless fishing vessel.

We welcome the beginner to the novice fisherman along with families with kids that want to learn about the great fishing on the Outer banks. We offer everything from sound side calm water fishing to offshore fishing for big, tackle busting fish on half, 3/4 and full day fishing trips.
