They have been fabulous in helping us plan our trip, including pre/post accommodation suggestions, and returning calls and emails almost immediately, even off hours and on weekends. Michelle has been fabulous, and honestly, we have explored all options with several other BVI companies, and the service has not even come close. Michelle knows every boat and crew inside and out, and her invaluable assistance is worth more than we can even say...and we haven't even gone on the trip yet!! The attentiveness, and eye for detail, and personal customer service cannot be beat. I travel a lot, mostly for pleasure, and fabulous customer service goes a long way!!!! If the trip is even close to how great the pre-trip planning has been, it is sure to be the vacation of a lifetime!!!

In a brief summary, when you read "Google" reviews and you see a "1 star" rating, you take it as someone did not have a good time or like some product or service, or a competitor slamming the competition. However, when you see six "Google 1 star" ratings within the last year (2025) including this one, you must ask yourself is something truly going on here? I have experienced many off-shore trips in my life time going out of Oregon Inlet, and had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful Captains and First Mates, but this was the first time going out of Wanchese, and it was not the case with this crew. Yes, the Captain did put us on some Mahi-Mahi, but at what cost. The entire trip you were talked down to or yelled at by an arrogant, egotistical First Mate (believe his name was Tom, but in the videos, he wears a wrap-around back brace and has a hard time holding his own balance), with the Captain hearing how he speaks to the charter members, without correcting him or taking control of the situation. I wanted to post more details on our group's charter; however, YELP restricts the number of characters (thus summarized). If you would like to read the other five "Google 1 star" reviews referenced above, with similar experiences on Fishin Fannatic they are: "Ray Scroggins (1 year ago)"; "Jake Johnson (2 months ago)"; "Shelly Kight (1 month ago)"; "Ben A (2 months ago)" and "Scott Knouse (8 months ago)". All in all, if you are looking for a relaxing, enjoyable, stress-free trip, you should look elsewhere!!!!! Hopefully, Captain Mark will turn things around on Fishin Fannatic by starting with a NEW First Mate and making sure those that contribute to his livelihood (the charter guest) are treated with respect! This charter was supposed to be an enjoyable relaxing stress-free trip (as advertised), but not the case.

I have traveled the world for great catches and have been on several great charters. When I spend my hard earned dollars on a fishing charter, I expect a captain with like mind, dedication, experience, and tenacity. I want a Captain who pursues relentlessly, because that's just who they are. I want a Captain who wants to catch the fish, even more than I do... Captain Mark Fann is a true boat captain. This man hunts with a tenacity that you don't experience often from charter captains. His resume speaks for itself, but the respect that he was given by the other boat captains on the dock, was an amazing thing to see. It was as if he was the General amongst the fleet of tuna boats. There were several options available for charters, but I knew that we made a great choice with FishinFannatics. Mark is a serious hunter. He doesn't stop, not even for lunch. He doesn't play games, he wants his boat in order and everything functioning properly. He is a winner and refuses to let excuses come between him and a good catch. He is a great Captain and a great man. It was an honor to be in his presence, learning from a true master of the sport. I reserve a special title for the elite Captain's that I have encountered in my life. It's a very small group of exceptional anglers who have earned it. The title is, "O'Captain, My Captain". Captain Mark Fann is the now the newest member of this elite club. Thanks again Captain Mark for the amazing memories! We will see you again soon! DJ AtomicDrummer.com

Captain Brian and his first mate James are fantastic and took great care of us to make sure we had a great time and caught fish. We caught mahi-mahi and tilefish. We had so much fun we booked a second trip for the next day. The boat is a 54-footer and rides beautifully out in the swells. It's very roomy and comfortable inside to relax or you can even take a nap on the ride out or the ride back in but the view is so fantastic you'll probably want to just stay out on the fishing cockpit and take pictures all the way out. We saw flying fish and pilot whales and manta rays. You can't go wrong booking a charter with Captain Brian White!

All the rods were ready to go as soon as we got out there. He again did a great job putting us on the fish. (We just want to catch, not picky with what we're catching!). His boat rides smooth and he does a good job of keeping it as still as possible when fishing. (Meaning, it doesn't require a lot of balance to stand and fish and move about the boat - the sides are high enough that you don't have to worry about falling off. One of my children has balance issues, so this is a real plus for us.) another one of my kids gets motion sickness easily, but has never had a problem on his boat. My third kid has ADHD and is super hyper, and Cpt. Donnie was great with him (never lost his patience and even seemed to entertain him.) He's taken us around Oregon inlet and behind bodie island lighthouse. Scenery is a beautiful as the experience is fun. Dolphins are always spotted - we generally go in mid-October during our annual obx vacation. We look forward to going out with him again next year. Would definitely recommend.
