Captain Pierre was waiting for us when we arrived 10 minutes early, which was wonderful.  We climbed aboard and were off before 7am.

It was a tough day of finding fish as the tides and wind was not cooperating, but Captain Pierre never gave up and we caught some fish, which was a big deal for my 12 year old.

Captain Pierre has a wonderful demeanor, is great to talk to with kids and adults alike and really knows this area well. I will book with him again.

First time ever salt water fishing and had an amazing time. I ended up getting sick while out in the ocean, so he took us out to the sound to try and catch something. Almost got 2 fish, but they got off the line. He tried everything he could to get us a fish, but they just weren’t cooperating. We even spent an extra hour out. We did get to see dolphins swimming around the boat.

Captain Pierre was terrific. Found out we are from CB and offered to pick us up closer. First fish within 15 minutes of pick-up. While the fishing was good it was Captain Pierre’s efforts to make sure my wife, who was fishing near shore for the first time, was comfortable and caught fish. We took the mid morning 2 hour trip. Trolled and cast. Caught Spanish Mackerel and Blue. Captain Pierre even cleaned the fish for us. Even if not fishing for the price it’s worth the ride to see the beaches from near shore. Perfect day!

Most outgoing and personable captain you’ll find in the Wilmington area. Capt’n Pierre and the Rising Sun will deliver an awesome time for all; not just putting you on the fish but coaching more inexperienced anglers while allowing seasoned ones to try different options . 2nd yr chartering the Rising Sun and will be back next year!

Were originally going for the evening trip, but weather was going to compromise that. Pierre was super flexible and communicative and we rescheduled to that morning. Showed us where to park and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Made for a nice couple hours on the water and some good fish to take home. Would recommend.
