Gratuity

GRATUITY FOR THE CAPTAIN IS NOT INCLUDED. It is customary to tip 15-20%

Evening Sightseeing Cruise

Private Sunset Tour Manteo, Bodie Island Lighthouse, and watch the sun melt into the horizon. The perfect close to a day in the Outer Banks.

Nearshore

Ready to ride the waves and chase big fish beyond the sound? Climb aboard the Carolina Blue, a powerful 25’ Lookout center console that delivers both comfort and capability—from shallow water casting to chasing red drum offshore. With a seasoned local like Captain John at the helm, you’ll get expert guidance and a completely personalized experience on every trip.

Whether you’re after a relaxing family outing or a serious day targeting trophy fish, the Carolina Blue’s wide beam and stable ride make it the perfect platform. A hydraulic scissor bracket lifts the boat for skinny water access, while its deep V-hull punches through the surf when it’s time to head out into the ocean. Featuring a spacious layout, sight-casting tower, top-tier MeatHog tackle, and ample seating fore and aft, this boat is ready for whatever kind of adventure you’re after.

Inshore

Looking for that hidden honey hole only locals know about? Then climb aboard the Southern Run, a 24’ Bayrider built for sneaking into the skinny waters of the Outer Banks, where trophy fish roam in just inches of water. Guided by lifelong local anglers Captain Michael or Captain Greg, this boat is your gateway to a private, quiet, and action-packed day in the marshes, bridges, and inlets of Wanchese and beyond.

With a flat-bottom hull and shallow draft, the Southern Run glides into the tightest corners of the OBX backwaters—places most boats can’t even reach. A high tower provides exceptional visibility for sight fishing, while top-tier MeatHog gear ensures you’re ready when the fish bite

We can accommodate groups larger than 4, so be sure to call today to inquire or book your reservation.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Review some commonly asked questions so you know before you go.

What to Bring +

To make the most of your off-shore fishing adventure, be sure to pack:

  • Food & Drinks – Bring enough to keep you fueled and hydrated throughout the day.
  • Sunscreen – The sun can be strong out on the water, even early in the morning.
  • Weather-Appropriate Clothing – Layers are key! Mornings can be cool, and afternoons warm up quickly.
  • Cooler Space – You’ll want room to take home your fresh catch!
  • Tip for the First Mate – A 15–20% tip is customary and greatly appreciated.

We usually reel in more than enough fish to go around, and one thing’s for sure—you’re in for a fun, memorable day on the water. It’s not often we come back empty-handed!

The Vessels +

The Southern Run Boat

The Southern Run is a 24-foot Kencraft Bayrider center console tailored for shallow water and backwater exploration, ideal for relaxed inshore trips and family-friendly excursions. Launched in 2016 and powered by a 200 HP Yamaha, she features a center console tower, protective curtains for comfort, and a 36-volt trolling motor to quietly access tight, fish-filled spots. Outfitted with top-shelf electronics, custom gear by Nick Walke and MeatHog Fishing, and full safety equipment, the Southern Run offers a smooth and flexible ride in the calm sounds and creeks of the Outer Banks. Docked at Wanchese Marina, this boat is your ticket to laid-back coastal fishing with big rewards.

 

Carolina Blue Boat

When you step aboard the Carolina Blue, you’re not just hopping on a fishing boat, you’re starting a custom-tailored adventure. Captain John isn’t just a seasoned Outer Banks fisherman; he’s a storyteller, a teacher, and a guide who’s just as excited as you are to get lines in the water. Before you even cast your first line, he’ll connect with you to understand your group’s goals; whether that’s getting the kids on their first fish, sight-casting for cobia, or chasing big drum in the ocean.

This boat is a dream for families and friends looking to explore both the calm backwaters and the deeper ocean blue. It’s roomy, stable, and equipped with top-quality gear, so you can focus on the fun while the Carolina Blue handles the rest.  Whether you’re brand new to fishing or a saltwater veteran, you’ll finish the trip with a camera full of memories and maybe even a cooler full of dinner.

Reservations Policy

Adventure Reservations Policies

We try to be as flexible as we possibly can to make your experience great, but please be mindful that we do have some policies that should be reviewed.

Read Policy

Reservations Policy

Adventure Reservations Policies

Our activities tend to fill up, so we encourage you to make your reservation early, especially if you plan to come in June, July, August, September, or during a holiday. While walk-ins are welcome, there is no guarantee that space will be available without a reservation.

Payment

Full payment is required to book your reservation. Kitty Hawk Kites does not hold spots without payment. Your card will be charged when you click “Accept” on the confirmation page. We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover. If you want to pay by cash or gift card, you must make your reservation at one of our retail stores or activity sites. If you are unsure of where the nearest reservations facility is, please call or text 252-251-4314.
Prices are subject to change, so confirm the rates at time of reservation.

Weather Related Cancellations and Refunds

Weather changes frequently and unexpectedly in coastal areas, and many weather forecasts are inaccurate. Due to these factors, weather related cancellations will likely not occur until very close to time of the scheduled reservation. Should Kitty Hawk Kites cancel your scheduled activity due to unsafe weather conditions, you will be offered the chance to reschedule your activity or Kitty Hawk Kites can either issue you a **wind check** (for Hang Gliding, Paragliding, Kayaking, Kiteboarding, Paddleboarding and Surfing) or provide you with a refund for the portion of the activity you were unable to complete.

For instance, in the case of Demo and Beginner Dune Hang Gliding Lessons the first portion (“Ground School”) of your lesson will not be cancelled and is non-refundable within 48 hours. The ground school is pro-rated at $39 per student.
Note: if you were booked on one of our packages, and part of your activities are cancelled due to weather, and you opt for a refund, you will be charged regular price for the activities you completed.

Customer Related Cancellations & Rescheduling

Should the purchasing customer request a refund, Kitty Hawk Kites will provide a full refund for any request that is made at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled activity. No refunds will be given for customer cancellations made within the 48 hours before the scheduled activity. If the reservation is made within the 48 hours before the activity time, the reservation is non-refundable at the time of the booking.

Fishing Trips scheduled on the Carolina Blue and the Southern Run require a weeks notice to cancel for a full refund.  Any cancellations made within a week of your fishing trip will be charged full cost of the trip.

Reschedules

Customers may request to reschedule or wind check their scheduled activity to a future time or date at any time up until the day preceding their scheduled activity. Same day rescheduling shall not be permitted.

Late Arrivals & No Show Policy

NO REFUNDS or reschedules will be given if you fail to show up for your activity. Please contact Kitty Hawk Kites 24 hours prior to your scheduled activity if you need to reschedule.

Waivers

For activities that require a liability waiver to be completed, each participant of that activity must complete a waiver to participate in that activity. Minor participants (anyone under 18 years old) must have their waiver completed by their parent or legal guardian in order for the minor participant to take part in the scheduled activity. If you have any questions concerning whether the scheduled activity requires a waiver or how to obtain a waiver for a minor not traveling with their parent or legal guardian, please call 1-877-FLY-THIS to speak to a Kitty Hawk Kites reservations associate.

**Wind Checks**

A wind check is a non expiring voucher which allows you to schedule your activity (Hang Gliding, Paragliding, Kayaking, Kiteboarding, Paddleboarding and Surfing) for a future date if you are unable to complete your scheduled activity and cannot reschedule during your stay on the Outer Banks. Wind checks do not have to be used by the person to whom they were issued – so don’t lose them. Kitty Hawk Kites is not responsible for lost or stolen wind checks. If you have a wind check and would like to schedule your activity, simply call reservations at 1-877-FLY-THIS and them know you are redeeming a wind check to begin the scheduling process.
