Have a fun and memorable experience with a great crew aboard Southern Run Fishing Charters! You won’t know where to head first when it comes to fishing in Willmington, but Captain Ben Morris specializes in epic offshore adventures. He’ll do his best to put anglers of all skill levels on the big fish!

Your vessel for the day is a 32' Yellowfin center console that can fit up to 6, but for comfort reasons the ideal is 4 customers. She’s a dry, fast and very comfortable boat with great seating and plenty of room to relax during a long day of fishing. Equipped with 2 300 HP Yamaha engines, this smooth ride will get you to the fish fast, increasing your fishing time and productivity.

Light line trolling is a recipe for success when it comes to hooking nearshore species like Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and Bonita. On longer offshore trips you'll also have your shot at Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi and the occasional Blue or White Marlin. In this range, bottom fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and delicious Seabass is super productive too! No bottom fishing for groups larger than 4.

All of your gear, including top-notch rods, reels, and tackle are waiting on board when you arrive. Capt. Ben is also happy to clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip for easy transport home. What you will want to bring are any drinks and snacks you’d like to enjoy, as well as sun protection.

Hop on board for some of North Carolina’s finest fishing with Southern Run Fishing Charters!

Great boat excellent captain.
4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 21, 20253 adults
Where to start, the boat is excellent big and very stable. We had no issue cruising at 30 knots to the near shore fishing spot 5 miles from shore. Fishing trip went well with a very lucky near shore Mahi Mahi which I’m told was quite rare. Hooked up to several Spanish Mackerel and one spinner shark that got away at the surface. The marina was easy to locate and free parking plus lots of good restaurants nearby for after. All in all best bang for the buck fishing I’ve done ever with excellent pictures and a few meals worth of mahi mahi to show for it. There’s a reason all his reviews are 5 stars and this is one more

What a trip with Captain Ben!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on May 29, 20254 adults
Me and my three fishing buddy’s enjoyed a fabulous trip yesterday with Capt Ben. Boat was fully loaded and on time to head out of WBNC to deep blue sea. Within 30minutes we had Gag Groupers on the boat!! He knew his spots and tough us new catching techniques that delivered! He knew when to move and was open to all our questions.. We caught over 2 dozen fish! Limited out on Grouper and caught over 6 different species of fish. Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Bonita, Sea Bass and more… The 32ft Yellow Fin with twin 350hp Yamaha’s ran so well and was perfect for our crew! Highly recommend Capt Ben if your looking to catch fish and have a great time fishing WBNC!!

My husband and I have been on many fishing trips and this by far was the best when it came to hospitality and diversity. We did three different kinds of fishing. We also learned how to kite fish. Captain Morris was helpful and actually took the time to explain and showed extreme patience. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Ben kept his boat and equipment very clean and was an excellent guide. He was very personable and helpful with anything we needed. He didn't mess around and made sure he put us in the best opportunities to catch fish. I highly recommend his services and will be a returning customer.
