Tooth and Tide Adventures offers private Wilmington NC fishing charters departing from Wrightsville Beach and surrounding areas. Our guided inshore and nearshore fishing trips are perfect for families, beginners, and experienced anglers looking to explore the rich waters of coastal North Carolina with a local captain.
Captain Jaime will use his 42 years of fishing experience to target the species that are biting given the season and current weather conditions. We chase fish anywhere from inshore in the creeks and estuaries all the way to sometimes 18 miles offshore of Wrightsville Beach and the surrounding areas.
Our fishing charters are a real outdoor nature experience that encompasses area sightseeing and fantastic wildlife viewing just as a byproduct of being out on the boat chasing fish. You never really know what your going to see out there, we see dolphins and turtles fairly regularly, and sometimes even the odd Mola mola fish.

Our fishing charters generally depart from Wrightsville Beach, NC and we fish the surrounding waters such as around Masonboro Island, Figure Eight Island, Lea/Hutaff Island and waters offshore. Captain Jaime will work hard to guide you to the fish and guide you with tips and techniques to better fish these waters.
All our fishing charters include:

*Pricing is for the entire boat (up to 6 passengers)

Our fishing charters focus on targeting species that are most currently active at the time of your trip.

Fishing charters typically depart from the public docks around Wrightsville Beach. Although if your staying at a hotel or rental home with water access such as a dock or sound side beach access we can pick you up there too. Exact meeting locations are usually discussed and decided upon during booking or prior to your trip.
All trips are private fishing charters, meaning your group will have the boat exclusively. This allows for a personalized experience and flexibility to tailor the trip to your goals, skill level, and comfort.
We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, weather-appropriate clothing, snacks, and drinks. We will provide waters and ice. Don’t forget a camera or phone to capture your catch! NC fishing licenses are provided for everyone on our fishing charters.
