SouthWind Charters is owned and operated by Captain Spencer Gaskins, an Ocracoke native from a long line of fishermen. His family history is deeply rooted in the waters around the island. SouthWind Charters is named in honor of Captain Spencer's great-grandfather; a well-known fisherman whose charter boat was named the 'SouthWind', and continues the family tradition of excellence and passion for the ocean.
Join us aboard SouthWind Charters for inshore/nearshore fishing and other excursions on the waters surrounding Ocracoke and Portsmouth islands. Our trips are perfect for groups and families.

Throughout the year you can expect to catch Red Drum, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Cobia, Gray Trout, Speckle Trout, Pompano, Black Sea Bass, Amberjacks and more. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, Captain Spencer will put you on the fish!
