My family has been fishing on the Carolina Girl for years now. My dad generally books a handful of…read morecharters every year and I have been fortunate enough to have gone along on several of them. We always haul in a great catch, but the time spent with my family, Captain Derek and his son, Brian the first mate, is the priceless part. They are fun, safe, and really know their business. If we can't get on the Carolina Girl's schedule, then we just don't go fishing. There's no other choice for us. We've caught everything from dolphin, tuna, trigger, scorpionfish, sea bass and my dad even caught the North Carolina Golden Tile State Record on the Carolina Girl in 2010!

I was lucky enough to be brought along as a guest for a trip to the gulf stream and a fun filled…read moreday of folks fishing on board the "Carolina Girl." We met Derek Taylor, Captain, and his son Brian, Mate, on the dock early one morning ready for an adventure. Both very friendly and know their fishing. Understand the seas had not been cooperating for some time and the fish were few. Derek gave us a rough outline as to what to expect and Brian on how to catch 'em. Captain Derek Taylor and his Son, Brian, make quite the bookends. If your not from a fishing family you would never know the barbed exchanges while the lines are singing are really friendly and good natured banter. Derek, stood over watch on the flying bridge and yelled down the dance steps of a fishing experience few have ever had. Especially when the Dolphin (Mahi) took the hooks. Imagine ducking under and stepping over other rods as you brought the fish to the back of the boat for Brian to pluck from the water and cover with ice. Schools circling the boat and singing line. Brian yelling for the leader, unhooking and baiting hooks quicker than you could get the line in the water. A fish-on until the box was full. After filling the box with Mahi off we went for Wahoo or sailfish. One sailfish hook-up a way back from the boat, with a flip of the fish and a spit hook. But the Wahoo did strike hard and run deep. Three Wahoo boated and one nice fish released at the side of the boat. The released fish was big too, guess that is why they call the sport fishing and not "catching." Derek and Brian made the experience great. On the return to the Harbor we off loaded the largest catch of the day and the largest for some time in the harbor. An honest captain and crew. Carolina Girl is a good boat. Fish On!

They also have a spot where you can pick up and drop off your keys to the cabins if you are coming amd going before or after their open hours. We stayed in one of the one bedroom cabins. It came with two beds with a mat on top but they do tell you to bring your own linens,which we did. The cabins only have ac not heat, which is one of the only few things I think they should upgrade to have a unit that does both as we stayed during Halloween weekend and the digits where in the 40's at night. Just enough to take the chill out of the air inside. But we brought plenty of blankets so we were pretty cozy but definitely didnt want to leave the warmth in the morning lol. I also think the grills need to be updated to something you can close not the tiny open faced ones they have. Even after scrubbing it down, our food tasted funny after cooking on it due to all the grime that had built up from being uncovered in all sorts of weather. Easy walk to the water and have a tavern and deli within walking distance close by as well with good food. Was a great place to sit outside and read a book and just relax, no blaring horns or city noise.

Also very convenient to the rest of Cape Hatteras and the Ocracoke ferry. We definitely plan on returning and spending more time around the campground, it was beautiful!

If you are reading this review, then I ASS-U-ME you are considering going Kayaking when you visit…read morethe Outer Banks. A warning to all those of you who have never Kayaked. DON'T go anywhere else. Ben Cobb is a young family man who is an EMT Fireman with all the precautions for any mishap and is an INCREDIBLE GUIDE. My girlfriend and I (we are over 60 and retired) have never Kayaked and Kathie is not a strong swimmer so she had her reservations when Ben was taking us on the Alligator River Tour. She had friends who fell in and had bad experiences when they went Kayaking; please don't let me get started on them haha. YOU WILL NOT FALL IN!! Unless you don't listen to simple instructions. "Put your foot in the middle of the boat and sit down". NO ONE FELL IN and there were 6 yr olds paddling themselves (i don't advise this} Ben had to Kayak 3 miles while towing another Kayak. He did it with pleasure. I do strongly recommend watching a few YOUTUBE videos to get acquainted with how to steer it; how to get in and out, but if you have ever been in a Canoe or Row Boat, it's not rocket science. Anyone can do it if they have a couple of ounces of coordination. You won't see any Alligators, unless you are lucky like we were. YEP. An 8 ft alligator; looked like a mom guarding her babies, on the banks barely visible. How scary right? Not at all because Ben explained in the begginging what to do. NOTHING. They don't bother you; UNLESS you don't follow simple instructions like the young girl didn't do and started paddling toward the alligator. Alligator came into the water a few feet and she got the warning. That's it. Too bad we didn't see the Black Bears that sometime hang out in the trees. I don't write reviews for my health. I love reading good reviews that paint a picture so that is what I am trying to do. If you are thinking about Kayaking then call Ben. I'm sure that there are other competent guides, but why take the chance. There is absolutely nothing he could have done to make it more exciting and enjoyable, from the protein bars, water and Gatorade to the frequent stops for an education. THANKS BEN!!!! Kathie wants to buy a tandem Kayak now. She LOVED IT!!

End result was me with like so many others was a Citation Red Drum and an experience I will never forget and puts a smile my face remembering it today. Rob is really focused on making sure his clients are successful and you can tell he is genuinely happy when his clients are having a good experience. Highly recommend him for any ocean or sound, day or night, kayak fishing or excursion you have in mind.
