Booked a day trip with riptide charters while visiting OBX. The water was still a little on the cool side but Capt Randy gave us a 110%. He was there early with a clean boat ready to roll. He is very knowledgeable of the area and what to look for. I would highly recommend if you are considering a inshore trip. Looking forward to fishing with him again once the water warms up.

We had a great morning out fishing with Riptide Charters. Weather was a little questionable leading up to our trip but captain Randy was very on top keeping us updated on the situation and adjusting our trip as needed. It was our kids first trip out saltwater fishing and he was excellent with showing and explaining what to do for the different types of fishing we did as well as helping them get their catches in the boat. For the more experienced he explained what we were doing and let us do our thing. He was very personable as well as knowledgeable. Even with the rough conditions that day Captain Randy managed to get us on some fish and more importantly gave our kids a great experience and got them hooked on saltwater fishing! Thanks again for a great time!!

A great day of fishing.  Easy to find the marina and boat.  Captain Randy was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and tolerant of our lack of fishing skill.  Everyone caught fish.  We hooked our keeper drums early and released the little guys.  We also caught a sting Ray, which everyone thought was cool.  Tried for some spotted trout at the end of the trip, but they were evidently not hungry enough to get in the boat.  Highly recommend fishing with Capt Randy…we’ll be back!  Thanks for a great time!

This was my 4th trip with Captain Randy and once again he got us on fish and we had a successful day.  First we started Flounder fishing but could only catch small ones and couldn’t get the bigger ones to cooperate.  Then we went looking for Red Drum and Randy got us into a school of them and caught our limit of slot drums in a hurry then continued catch and release for a while.  We had a great trip and I cannot wait to get back out there.
