With a capacity for up to 6 passengers, it's perfect for solo anglers, groups of friends, or families seeking quality time on the water.

Captain Ryan of Reel Obsession is passionate about putting his guests on fish. He offers a fun, family friendly environment to his clients. My two sons and I had a good time and caught a variety of fish. We look forward to another trip with him in the near future.

All I can say is Captain Ryan killed it. He put us on the spot and we all limited out and more. We had an incredible day! Thanks Captain!!

Captain Ryan took me and my two boys on a half-day trip, and he really made it special. He walked the kids through everything we were doing, patiently answered all their questions, and put in a lot of effort to ensure they had an amazing time on the water. It's clear that he knows the waters around Swansboro like the back of his hand. We would definitely love to go back again.
