Croatan Charters

Croatan Charters offers family-friendly boat trips in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, departing aboard the Wendy Kay with Captain Mike Parks. The business specializes in in-shore fishing, crabbing, and shrimping charters, with two-hour and four-hour trips suited to visitors and local residents of all ages. Guests can enjoy a hands-on day on the water, learn about the activities, and keep the catch from their trip.

Charter offerings vary by season. In June, trips combine crabbing and fishing. From July through mid-October, guests can choose crabbing and shrimping charters. In-shore fishing charters are available from mid-October through December. These outings provide an engaging way for families and groups to spend time together during an Outer Banks vacation, with the added reward of bringing home their harvest.

Croatan Charters invites guests to book ahead, as trip times fill quickly. The company is based in Manns Harbor, North Carolina, and offers a welcoming option for anyone looking to experience fishing, crabbing, or shrimping on the water.
