I have been fishing with Captain Al on The Country Girl for the past nine years. I drive from Washington, DC to the OBX just to fish on The Country Girl. Captain Al truly knows how to put you on the fish. Every trip I've been on we always maxed out. Captain Al is not a clock watcher. He's never... More

We went out on the Country Girl on Aug 14,2012 for the all day wreck fishing trip. We had a wonderful day of fishing,between 2 people we caught 27 pounds of tilefish and black sea bass.the mates were very friendly and helpful. Country Girl is a beautiful clean boat and the fishing tackle was well maintained. Previous reviewers commented about... More

A friend and I took the half-day cruise on the Crystal Dawn in mid-July 2012. Although we didn't catch any fish, the mates and the captain were very friendly and sought to make it entertaining. We had booked two spots on the boat on a Monday for the next Thursday; however, when we showed up at the appointed time (6:45... More

Don't waste your money trying to fish on the crystal dawn. Friendly "fill in” crew were exited 2o catch 6 bait fish. Only 1 keeper. If you want an expensive cruise in the SOUND only take the head boat crystal dawn out to fish. If you actually want to catch fish go on another boat! What an expensive waste of... More

I went on the all day fishing trip yesterday. I was really looking forward to a great day of fishing, and what I got was a day of total sea-sickness. Every single person on the boat spent the day throwing up and pretty much miserable. I was only able to catch 2 fish because I was too sick to function.... More

We took a group of 12 people ranging from 16 to 50 to the OBX. We went fishing on the Crystal Dawn. After traveling for 45 minutes, one of the deckhands was giving instructions on using the fishing reels, He told everyone ' if you are planning on eating fish for dinner you will not be catching them here". We... More

We take either the fishing trip or the evening cruise every year and this year we chose the evening cruise. Once again we were not disappointed ! We could not find a better group of people to have a cruise with if we tried, but we don't even try because it would only be a waste of our time. The... More

I am from Baltimore, MD and I took a ride on the Crystal Dawn recently and I absolutely loved this funfilled day. The Captain and his Mate were the reason this trip was so much fun and memorable. peace and love, Trish

We went out on the morning fishing trip, it was quite disappointing. Out of almost 50 people on the boat, only 1 person caught a small fish to take home; everyone else got these tiny fish that had to be thrown back in the water. It takes almost an hour to the channels and the captain keeps moving the boat... More
