I have done fair amount of fishing trips and this one was excellent.  Boat is about a year old, very clean, and AC works great even in semi open cockpit. The equipment is top notch. We caught 5 yellow fin tuna, lost 5 or so and boated 2 Cobia. Prompt, professional, and they did everything possible to put us on fish. Seth and Graham are not your typical boat crew.  Both were professionals in a prior life and at least for my family made everyone feel involved and explained what was happening.  Seth recommended a place to have our fish vacuum sealed so you can take or ship it home.  We even met some of the cast members from “Wicked Tuna” at the processors.  We booked the 10 hour trip but ended up being out 11 or so.  I would definitely use them again.

I’ve never written a review on anything but felt compelled to do so on this boat and crew. It was my young son’s first trip on a boat in a big body of water. They made him feel comfortable and gave him an experience he can’t stop talking about. The boat was well beyond expectations and again the crew was unbelievable. Not to mention we were catching fish one after the other when the rest of the fleet were struggling. I highly recommend.

We took a 6hr near shore trip.  Fishing was slow but we brought in some odd looking Ribbon fish that were surprisingly pretty tasty baked and on the grill.  We also fought some False Albacore that really excited the kids.  Captain Seth and Gram were very patient and took the time to explain to everyone what to do and how to do it when we had fish on.  I highly recommend and will book another trip with them when we return to the OBX.

Beautiful new boat, great captain and mate. And I mean great. We were suppose to be offshore but weather was not cooperating. Instead Captain Seth got us out near shore and we had a fantastic day catching Cobia. Got our limit and caught a few more to throw back to keep the day going. Can’t recommend Artemis highly enough. We’ve been coming down to OBX for almost thirty years and this was one of our best trips. Thanks to Seth and Graham.
