Fun Facts
About Morehead City, NC

Morehead City has earned its reputation as one of the busiest fishing hubs on the Crystal Coast, with quick access to inshore waters, nearshore structure, and offshore runs toward the Gulf Stream. That variety makes it a great starting point for anglers who want options instead of being locked into one style of fishing. One day might be calm-water redfish and speckled trout, while another could turn into a full offshore adventure chasing mahi, wahoo, or tuna.

A typical Morehead City charter might start with a family looking for a fun first trip on the water. Captain Justin can guide them toward an inshore or nearshore option based on the forecast, skill level, and what is actively biting. With gear, bait, licensing, and local knowledge already covered, the group gets to focus on the experience itself. That kind of flexible planning is a big part of what makes Breakday Charters a strong fit for Morehead City visitors and locals.

My 17 year old son and I had an amazing trip with Justin. I highly recommend a trip with him. He keeps it laid back, but is great about telling you what he knows. He also really put us on the fish. The marina is very convenient. Easy to park and has a great store with whatever you need for the boat. There are even showers/bathrooms there if you need. We’ve done a lot of charters, and this is as good as it gets.

We had an incredible half-day fishing trip with Justin Ragsdale at Breakday Charters! Justin is amazing at finding the fish – we caught False Albacore, Blue, Spanish Mackerel, and even some bottom feeders that kept things exciting. This was my second time booking with him, and once again he proved to be absolutely top notch. Justin makes the whole experience fun, professional, and memorable. I can’t wait to book again and will be recommending him to all my friends and family!

We had the best half day trip for my husband’s birthday! Tons of Spanish and laughs, along with our daughter catching her first saltwater fish. Memories were most definitely made. She’s already wanting to go again, thank you so much!
