I went on the all day fishing trip yesterday. I was really looking forward to a great day of fishing, and what I got was a day of total sea-sickness. Every single person on the boat spent the day throwing up and pretty much miserable. I was only able to catch 2 fish because I was too sick to function.... More

We took a group of 12 people ranging from 16 to 50 to the OBX. We went fishing on the Crystal Dawn. After traveling for 45 minutes, one of the deckhands was giving instructions on using the fishing reels, He told everyone ' if you are planning on eating fish for dinner you will not be catching them here". We... More

We take either the fishing trip or the evening cruise every year and this year we chose the evening cruise. Once again we were not disappointed ! We could not find a better group of people to have a cruise with if we tried, but we don't even try because it would only be a waste of our time. The... More

We went out on the morning fishing trip 7am-12pm, it was very disappointing. 50 pole holders and 54 people on the boat led to 2 people in my group squishing in uncomfortably. 4 hours on the boat and the only thing anyone caught were tiny fish that had to be thrown back in the water. It takes almost an hour... More

We went out on the morning fishing trip, it was quite disappointing. Out of almost 50 people on the boat, only 1 person caught a small fish to take home; everyone else got these tiny fish that had to be thrown back in the water. It takes almost an hour to the channels and the captain keeps moving the boat... More

We (myself, my husband, & our 2 sons) had a wonderful time on this evening cruise. The crew were very enjoyable and informative. The cruise was a pleasant way to spend an evening ! Don't miss out on this activity. We loved it ! More

We've taken both the Crystal Dawn fishing boat excursion and the evening cruise and we have not found a better group of people to take a boat ride with ! The fishing trip was excellent - very informed and polite crew and a lot of fish caught. The evening cruise is so peaceful and nice, with an informative crew giving... More

A friend and I went out on the Country Girl on 6-10-09 and absolutely enjoyed the fishing trip. The only thing that customers should be aware of is while you are told that on a 7:00-4:30 full day fishing trip you can expect approximately 5 and 1/2 hours of fishing time, only one side of the boat fishes at a...
