No noisy engines, no crowded spots! Just you, endless water, and hands-free fishing at its finest🎣

Thanks to Hobie’s legendary MirageDrive pedal system, you can steer and glide through the water while keeping your hands completely free to cast, reel, and land the big one. It’s the ultimate way to explore the shallow sound-side waterways of the Outer Banks and reach those secret, off-the-beaten-path spots standard boats simply can't touch!

What’s included in our Hobie Kayak Fishing Charters?👇
- 4-hour fully guided charter (up to 4 anglers per trip)
- Target top local species: Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, & more
- Fully equipped Hobie Angler Kayaks provided

Perfect for all skill levels—from complete beginners to seasoned anglers!
Thinking about buying a Hobie Angler Kayak down the road? Consider this the ultimate "drive it before you buy it" experience with an expert local guide showing you the ropes.

📍Charters depart from Kitty Hawk Kites, Whalebone Watersports in Nags Head
