Billy Stewart, Captain at Quality Time Charters

Get ready for an unforgettable Oak Island fishing adventure with Quality Time Fishing Charters. If you're searching for the best Oak Island fishing charters, Captain Billy, a seasoned sportfishing expert, will be your guide for the day, ensuring an exceptional experience on the water.


Depending on the season, your Oak Island NC fishing trip could have you reeling in Bonito, Black Drum, Great Barracuda, Cobia, Grouper, Black Seabass, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Snapper, and more. These Oak Island charters typically involve trolling and bottom fishing, using light or heavy tackle tailored to the deep sea fishing conditions and catch of the day.


Captain Billy welcomes anglers of all ages, making it a perfect outing for families looking for a memorable fishing charter in Oak Island. Just ensure that children wear life vests, and check if the appropriate sizes are available on board. It’s advisable to bring along snacks, drinks, sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat to stay comfortable during your Oak Island NC fishing trip. While alcohol is permitted in moderation, it's best to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles to keep the Oak Island charters safe and enjoyable for everyone.


You'll be deep sea fishing aboard a 32’ Midnight Express, a well-equipped vessel designed for a group of up to 6 passengers. The boat features outriggers, downriggers, and all the essential gear needed for a successful Oak Island fishing experience. Captain Billy will provide rods, reels, and lures, with live bait included—just ask if you’ll be catching it yourself on this fishing charter in Oak Island.


A First Mate will assist on your Oak Island fishing charter, and it's customary to tip them 10–20% for their hard work. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you need to do is show up ready for deep sea fishing off the coast of Oak Island. Keep in mind that some fish species may have specific regulations or limited seasons during your Oak Island NC fishing trip. If you're unsure about anything, don't hesitate to ask the captain for guidance.


Let's set sail and experience one of the premier fishing adventures in Oak Island with Quality Time Fishing Charters! Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, Captain Billy and the crew will ensure you have an unforgettable day on the water. Get ready to reel in some big catches and create memories that will last a lifetime.

What a solid day on the water targeting Spanish Mackerel! Captain had a productive four-hour bachelor trip, putting Connor Goodman and his group on a strong bite with plenty of fish landed. The Spanish are showing up in good numbers, and the action is heating up as the season picks up. Conditions were just right, and these fast-moving fish didn’t disappoint. With the bite only getting better, now’s the time to plan your trip. We’ve got open dates and the Spanish Mackerel are waiting—bring your group and get ready for a fun day on the water! Tight lines from Oak Island!

Billy was great! One of the most fun days I’ve had on the water.

September 2, 2025

Spectacular! Captain Billy went above and beyond what was expected to ensure my family and I (five total) had a great time. He was very personable with us and the kids (ages 5, 7, 9) and made sure that we all had a great time. The water was pretty rough, but he did a great job of putting us on the fish and making sure lines stayed in the water while ensuring our safety. An absolute class act, highly recommend!

The morning started off slow, but once it warmed up, we hit the jackpot. It turned into a beautiful day on the water.
