Good Days Start on the Water
Our trips offer bottom fishing for red, silver and vermillion snapper, along with grouper, triggerfish, black sea bass, jacks, dolphin and lots more of the hardest-fighting and best-tasting fish you will ever catch. All fishing gear is provided, as well as bait and ice boxes to keep your fish stored until we return home. Fish cleaning is available upon return to the dock (for a fee of $1 per pound).
Our Boat
The Carolina Princess is a 55’ fiberglass Yank Marine built for comfort and a smooth ride on the water. She can carry up to 49 passengers and cruises comfortably at 11 knots. While there is no galley onboard, anglers are welcome to bring their own food and personal alcohol (please note, no hard liquor). The boat features three booth-style tables along with a large bench that seats multiple passengers, offering plenty of room to relax between bites. For anglers, there are 42 well-spaced rod holders plus additional overhead rod storage in the stern for extra gear. A microwave is available if needed, and the boat is known for her smooth, steady ride — making for an enjoyable day on the water for everyone.
*There is no galley on the boat but personal food, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are welcome (please no hard liquor)*

Meet Captain Tyler
In 2026, he was grateful for the opportunity to take over the Carolina Princess business. While he enjoys all types of fisheries, nothing compares to the joy of creating lasting memories for his customers out on the water.

About Us
Carolina Princess is more than just a boat to us—it’s a way of life built on the water.
We’ve been together since the very beginning of the Simple Life, sharing not only a business but a lifelong connection to fishing, boats, and the outdoors. Jessica grew up fishing occasionally with her family and spending time in nature, and both of our families have deep roots in fishing and life on the water. That shared history and passion are at the heart of everything we do.
Tyler is the captain of the Carolina Princess, bringing years of experience, extensive knowledge of the water, and a steady hand to every trip. Jessica handles the land side of the business, answering phone calls, emails, and managing social media to make sure everything runs smoothly before and after you step on board.
We’re incredibly grateful to be raising our family in such a special place and love that our young son is growing up around the docks, boats, and the fishing community. Our hope is to continue this way of life for generations to come.
At Carolina Princess, we strive to maintain an experienced crew, a laid-back atmosphere, and a truly welcoming environment. Whether it’s your first time fishing or you’ve been doing it your whole life, we’re patient, family-friendly, and especially great with beginners. Everyone is welcome aboard.
We can’t wait to welcome you on board and share our love for the water with you.
