Your family adventure on Wrightsville Beach begins by booking a trip with Deep Sea Express!
“The Hard Way” is an easygoing boat that will get you out there in a relaxed, comfortable setting. You’ll have it made in the shade underneath the large sunshade over the fishing deck, and there is plenty of room in the wheelhouse if you want to get out of the elements. There is also a private restroom below the deck. Great boat for families!
When you arrive at the dock on Seacrest Drive parking is free, a rare occasion on Wrightsville Beach.
Captain Ger Hardin has been running charters out of Wrightsville Beach for 20 years now, so he knows a thing or two about how to catch fish around here.
All bait, tackle, ice, and even licenses are included for your entire party. Young children are welcome and if they don’t have their own life jacket the captain will furnish them with a youth-sized life jacket as required by the Coast Guard.
You will need to bring your own food and drink, alcohol is allowed but please try to avoid glass, and make sure to bring some sunscreen and wear clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting fishy.
After the trip, Captain Ger will clean your catch and bag the filets for you, be sure to bring a cooler to carry your filets home.
It’s time to go where the fish are!
