Captain Will delivered on his promise to catch some fish! First mate Lance was terrific (and frankly did most of the work for us non-fishermen... baiting, casting, and getting the fish off the line and into the cooler). True sportsmen will undoubtedly want to do all that themselves but for us novices it was perfect! We spotted the bite and reeled them in. 4 hours later we came ashore with 4 Spanish mackerel and more than 30 ribbon-fish. Had some of the ribbon-fish for dinner and they were delish!
Highly recommend Captain Will & Sinbad Sportfishing. Thanks Will & Lance for a great day.

We had a very nice fishing trip with Sinbad. Captain and crew were very friendly and found this fish fast. We caught about 18 fish in a 4 hour trip (false albacore, Spanish Mackerel, ribbonfish)

Amazing afternoon with our family! Clean, on time, knowledgeable, and friendly service. Kids had a blast and we’re on fish in first 20 minutes from leaving marina. Can’t always promise a good haul, but we were grateful for the service and very happy with the results.

Thank you so much for coming aboard! I will admit we get spoiled with our families that take the helm on the vacation to go fishing. Younger anglers always seem to help me see things in a new perspective and especially this year; we are so glad to have everyone aboard and ready to relax! We are very glad things cooperated as they did (as they stated fish do NOT have to and then we have to work even harder) and we were able to fish with you all. We appreciate it!

Capt Viv was a wealth of knowledge and made the half day so much fun. We did the near-shore fishing and started at 6 am. We were greeted by a double rainbow and lots of ribbon fish and a moon fish! Dolphins passed by about 60 ft away. We later caught some Spanish Mackerel, a blue and a drum (which we released back in the water). Capt Will did a superb job piloting and Capt Viv kept us entertained.
Can’t wait to do it all over again next year!

We booked a half day fishing trip on the Sinbad out of the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. One of the best things we did on our North Carolina Outer Banks vacation. Captain Will and Captain Viv take care of everything and worked hard to keep us in the fish. They have half day and full day trips but sounds like they can tailor to your needs if you book through them. Our family had a great time and would highly recommend this charter. If we get the opportunity we will book with them again. We didn't go through the Oregon Inlet Center to book our trip, we contacted Captain Will directly via his phone numbers. They are very easy to work with and are more flexible than if you book through the main charter service at the inlet. I'm sure other boats in the inlet are good as well, but for our family, I was hoping the husband/wife team would work best and I was not disappointed. They can take up to 6 people. The Sinbad is clean and spacious. Capt Will and Viv are the best. Viv kept our teenagers entertained and that is not an easy task.

Yes! Call us directly if you desire and we can try to flex as much as possible for your time frame and needs. Nature is the boss but we will go and attempt to rock it! I run a clean boat, comfortable, love my job even on a tough day and try to catch them and relay that experience. Thank you so much for taking the time here to say so! We can customize it! And please , wish I had seen this sooner! Sometimes being a boss is not enough hours in the day!

Fall fishing can be a risk, depending on the weather but knowing the Capt. and mate are honest and will work with you is a relief. October 28 was our first time aboard the
Sinbad with Capt. Will and his outgoing mate Viv. Our original booking was interrupted by the hurricane Mathew and the rough seas that followed. but Will was willing to postpone our deposit or refund it entirely. He gave us honest updates on the
fishing prospects and finally worked my wife and I in for a full day excursion.
We left the marina at first light and nearly had our limit of 60 Taylor blues by 9:30.
With a few Spanish mackeral and a false albacore also in the cooler, the winds blew in
from the northeast and churned up the surf. Will confided that the good fishing was
probably at an end and suggested we shorten the trip to a half day. Integrity is
impressive wherever you find it.
We have dates for our return with the entire family and can't wait for them to meet
this great husband/wife team that make the Sinbad everything a fishing charter should be.

We are grateful that you had patience while we did all the shifting around this Fall's storms! We actually ran into another NE wind today with no give in it. I think it was your willingness to change as well as the great attitude you both brought that got us on the conditions to really give us a chance on making it worthwhile! We both try very hard all year long to do our best even when nature is the boss. Never think that we do not love it just as much as you do! I try not to leave any strangers! Thank "Zane"for me and the eloquence you gave us here speaks volumes. Very kind. Cheers! See you next summer!

Family run business with 35 years of experience. They do a fantastic job. They keep you on fish all day and work hard to do it. We will definitely return the next time we're in Nags Head.

Will and Viv were outstanding hosts! This was a great half-day trip for the entire family! 50 pounds of Ribbon Fish later the kids were thrilled! Viv is an exceptional conversationalist and made all of us (adults and kids) feel like we were part of her family.

They are the "Metallic-a" of the ocean lol! How Archaic looking right?? I try to treat you all like you live next door (in a good way) and if you felt like family and we were catching on top then I have achieved how I hope you see our days on the water. It can be a gauntlet but we truly work hard to make sure you are having fun! Thank you so much for the comments here!

Sinbad Sportfishing was a great way to spend a half-day in the inlet and sound for some low-stress fishing. Vivian and Will McPherson were wonderful hosts. Will worked hard to find spots of fish for us and Viv worked hard keeping our lines ready and to bring in all the fish we caught. In all, we caught 26 keepers of the Bluefish. They prepared the fish for us, were talkative and friendly and made the trip enjoyable.

We have been fishing with Will and Viv many times and we have had a wonderful experience each and every time. Their boat is first rate and clean. They both are truly professional. Viv is captivating for kids and grownups! She makes fishing fun for everyone! I would highly recommend Sinbad for your fishing adventure!

Hey guys! Was just wondering if you guys are catching anything right now? What is your price for a half day of fishing?
Written June 28, 2018
Hey Michael! Uf you check our website I just updated yesterday. Today was ribbon fish, some moonfish, and calm waters! Earlier there were some spanish. We offer a variety of time slots with various prices so best to just call us at home and we can personally go over that with you. Thanks!

How's the yellow fine tuna fishing in late September,and what are your rates for whole day offshore ?
Written July 4, 2017
We are actually a Nearshore/ inshore fishing business. The cost for the gulfstream charter boats in our district of the Outer Banks Of North Carolina (think Nags Head) average $1900.00 per day. I would try speaking directly with a tuna captain for the best info. You can find the list online through Oregon Inlet etc. All marinas house tuna boats as it is very popular! Catch them up and tight lines! V McPherson
Written July 4, 2017
Nearshore our runs of fish begin in May. If the water temps stay on track we can see some schools of taylor blues around the shoals. Looking for drum is also an option (think redfish-release ). The warmer the water, the greater the possibilities. South of our area (think 20-30 miles) they will begin to see blues, some spanish, and Iike ourselves, an occasional shot on the red drum release. The earlier the Spring, the more consistent the water temps. For any other species I would just float us an email. Thank you ! V McPherson

Written December 16, 2016
Fishing the Bay and beaches this time of year can be different every year. Last year we fished into December on striped bass. This year we have closed the books on nearshore fishing due to fronts chilling us way down water temp wise. The offshore fleet will continue to fish for tunas through the winter. That would be your next bet this time of year. V McPherson Sinbad
