Fishing Charters in Morehead City, NC
Book a Trip You’ll Actually Talk About
Breakday Charters runs fishing charters out of Atlantic Beach on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. Captain Justin Ragsdale has over 12 years on these waters and one goal for every trip: put you on fish.
From 4-hour inshore runs to full-day offshore missions, Breakday covers every fishery Carteret County has to offer. Licensing is included, all gear and bait are provided, and fish cleaning comes with most trips. All you need to bring is food, drinks, and a willingness to get after it. Call or text (252) 732-0990 to book.
Pick Your Trip
Every charter is different. Here’s a breakdown of what Breakday Charters offers on the Crystal Coast.
Inshore Fishing
Target redfish, speckled trout, and flounder on 4, 6, or 8-hour trips in the marsh and flats.
Nearshore Fishing
Head a few miles out for sea bass, red drum, mahi, and more on a half or full-day trip.
Offshore Fishing
Deep sea fishing for big-game species on the Ragtime — king mackerel, mahi, and beyond.
Bottom Fishing
Drop rigs and work the structure for grouper, snapper, and other hard-fighting bottom species.
We Figure It Out So You Still Fish
Breakday Charters runs two vessels specifically so that conditions don’t dictate your day. Booked an offshore trip on the Ragtime but the Atlantic is acting up? Captain Justin switches you to the inshore rig and gets you on the water regardless. That kind of flexibility isn’t common in charter fishing — and it’s one of the reasons anglers from across Carteret County keep coming back year after year.
