North Carolina offers excellent saltwater fishing off its shores, and there is an abundance of charter fishing boats that are available all along the vast North Carolina coastline. For offshore fishing, North Carolina's mainland and Outer Banks coastal communities of Carolina Beach, Hatteras, Manteo, Morehead City, Nags Head, Ocracoke, and more offer access to charter fishing boats that venture out into the Atlantic Ocean in pursuit of tuna, dolphin, wahoo, king mackerel, sailfish, and marlin.
