Great fishing trip! Captain Russell and first mate were knowledgeable, funny and successful in finding fish. What a great day. Lots of fish caught among good company. Highly recommend!

Captain Russell and Mate Mike were outstanding. Really down to earth guys who enjoy what they do, and enjoy sharing their knowledge with everyone from 4-64 yoa. Even showed some Dolphins to the grandkids on the way back into the dock. Would certainly recommend Grandpas Charters to anyone looking for a great trip!

We had a wonderful time! It was myself, significant other and 10 year old. We went for a 4 hour crabbing/shrimping trip. We brought home a ton of crab and some shrimp that our family can’t wait for the great feast we are going to have! Captain Russell and mate Mike were great with our son and this is an experience we won’t forget. We would definitely recommend them!

We just took the 4 hour tour this morning with my 8 year old twin girls. They absolutely loved picking out the fish, shrimp and crab. There was a sense of excitement with every net that was emptied on the table. Kid Friendly version of Deadliest Catch. Captain Russell and his brother Mack were incredible, very good with children and very patient. This was a great beginner fishing trip for the girls. It was nice having the boat to ourselves, not crowded at all. We ended up with about 20 pounds of shrimp and 2 dozen crabs.

We loved the tour. The boat was very clean and the brothers where great with my kids. We had tons of fun, saw dolphins and caught lots of shrimp and crabs.

6-27-2012 This was the first time we had done anything of this nature. The only way to describe it is WOW!!! Our 9 year old son and his friend had a blast!! This is both fun AND educational and not just for the kids!! My husband and I were so pleased and will definitely be doing this again in the future. Russell is a star captain and his mate, Austin, was terrific. They both are very knowledgeable and have fantastic personalities. FUN, FUN, FUN!!! The time seemed to fly by and we were sad when the charter came to an end. Grandpa's Charters offers so many packages to choose from that no one should come away unhappy!! This is a MUST DO if you are looking for something exceptional to do this summer. We drove 3 hours and were not disappointed!!!! Worth the drive and every penny spent! Not only did we get crabs and shrimp, we also saw dolphins during the charter - what more can you ask for???? WONDERFUL experience from start to finish - highly recommend!

This trip is such a blast! We went as a family three years ago and went again a couple days ago. It was a great experience both times. Especially coming from someone who isn't generally into getting all fishy and gross, I still loved it! The seagulls love you for tossing them so many fish too! My younger brother is 6 and his favorite part is when Captain Russell lets him "drive" the boat. The trip itself is a blast, the captain and first mate are awesome, and the shrimp are delicious! We absolutely recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Outer Banks!!

We did the 4 hour trip on the afternoon of 8/15/19. It was a great time. Booking the trip and finding the boat was simple. Everyone involved ( Russell, Mike and Holly) are all very nice and experienced. We caught alot of crabs and shrimp. The attached pictures are the catch from the 1st of 3 drags. I recommend doing the 4hr trip if you can.
Defintely give this a try. You won't regret it

Our family participated in the four hour shrimp and crab trip. The captain and first mate were excellent and knowledgeable. At the end of our trip, we took 65 pounds of fresh shrimp and 28 crabs home. Great people! Recommend!

A trip my 7 and 10 year old will always remember. The captain and first mate Austin were fabulous with me and my kids, they took the time to explain everything about what they were doing. My kids actually learned about crabs and all the other critters caught in the net. This crab fishing trip made our vacation, if you want a chance for your kids to experience something new and have a bonding moment this trip is for you. Even if you are not an outdoor type person you will enjoy. Our charter was 2 hours and our fishing party consisted of me, my brother in-law, two 7 year olds, and two 10 year olds. There was plenty of room on deck and protection from the elements. Bring drinks and snacks for the kids.
