Location
On the coast of North Carolina lies a fragile “ribbon of sand”, barrier islands, collectively known as the Outer Banks located in some places more than 30 miles offshore from the mainland. On the southern tip of one of those islands, Hatteras Island, lies a village named Hatteras. It is here that the sport fishing industry of North Carolina began in 1937 with Captain Ernal Foster and his first boat the Albatross. Today the village is a hub of charter boats taking sportsmen to the Gulf Stream, located 20 miles offshore, to try their their luck at landing big game fish. Luck is part of the formula but know how and experience are more important, and that is what you get when you fish with the Albatross Fleet. Their experience now spans 80 years, the longest of any charter business in North Carolina.

Cancellations
A FISHING CHARTER IS A PAYDAY FOR THE CREW.
2 WEEKS NOTICE of cancellation is required.
Anything less will result in loss of your deposit.
Weather and sea conditions are always a factor on a barrier island and forecasting is less than reliable this far out to sea and generally cannot be determined until the day of the trip.
There are 3 possibilities:
- We go fishing!
- Conditions are too bad and THE CAPTAIN cancels. If
we can, we reschedule or you get your deposit back. - Conditions are iffy, but not dangerous. The captain gives
you his best evaluation based on many years of
experience in these waters and lets you make the
decision. If you choose not to go, you get your deposit
back.
Tipping
It is standard practice world-wide to tip the mate.
The typical tip is 20% of the cost of the charter.
Tipping should reflect the courteous effort put forth by the mate rather than the luck of the catch.
Fish Cleaning
The Albatross Fleet has its own docks and its own fish cleaning facilities for its customers. Rates are posted at the dock.
We offer three options:
- Pay to have them cleaned
- Clean them yourself – free
- Take them away with you – whole
