Marauder Sportfishing Charters

Welcome to Marauder Sport Fishing; thanks for visiting our site. We invite you and your family and friends to spend a fun-filled “Half Day” or “Full Day” enjoying some of the best near-shore fishing on the Mid Atlantic coast!

The Marauder is a 35 foot Bertram Sportfisher which the Captain purchased in late 2005 and renovated from top to bottom. The "35" has long been reguarded as one of the kindest sea boats produced in its class by Bertram Yachts.

She is powered by two Cummins 5.9 liter diesel engines producing 600 horse power which gives her an easy cruise of 23 knots. The Marauder is equipped with top of the line tackle for trolling, bottom fishing and casting as well as the newest electronics on the market, the Furuno NAVnet vx2 64 mile color radar, plotter and bottom machine. Icom VHF radios and a Stereo with a cd player and a microwave.

The boat has a full cabin which is heated for the Winter Striper season and an enclosed head and features a custom built tower which is used primarily for site casting to Cobia and Red Drum in the summer months.

During the Spring and Summer months, we fish the sounds, inlet, and ocean waters of the Outer Banks for Blues, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Red Drum, Cobia, Stripers, and more.

Our winter months (November- February) bring big ocean Stripers (Rock fish) to our area. These fish average around 25lbs, with some weighing in at 40+ lbs!

Captain Troy Crane is the owner/operator of the Marauder and fishes out of Pirate’s Cove Marina on the Manteo/Nag’s Head Causeway.
