World Class Fishing Center in the heart of the Outer Banks
Just south of the Bodie Island Lighthouse on the sound side of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, you’ll find the newly reimagined Oregon Inlet Fishing Center—now with a beautiful, state-of-the-art main building that opened in 2024. This iconic marina has long been home to the East Coast’s largest and most modern charter fishing fleet, and now it’s better than ever. A full service marina, Oregon Inlet offers a comprehensive fishing experience for the "old salt" and vacationing fisherman alike. With seasoned captains, unbeatable access to the best fishing waters on the Outer Banks, and a newly upgraded home base, it’s the ultimate spot to launch your next adventure on the water.
Whether you're seeking the unique challenge offered by offshore canyon fishing in the Gulf Stream, Big Bluefish wrestling matches or inlet/sound full and half-day excursions, Oregon Inlet offers the unbeatable combination of veteran skippers, a well-stocked marina and the best location on North Carolina’s Outer Banks! Any type of fish-centered experience you can think of from deep sea charters to dolphin tours happen right out of this iconic marina.
Inside the new building, you’ll find a fully stocked retail shop run by Oceans East Bait & Tackle—perfect for grabbing gear, Outer Banks-themed gifts, and all the supplies you need for a day on the water. Need a bite before or after your trip? Sea Chef Dockside Kitchen is right there with hot food, fresh seafood, waterside dining and grab-and-go meals. Upstairs, the new event space offers sweeping views of the Pamlico Sound and marina, and it’s ideal for weddings, private dinners, and special events.
Plus, with a public boat ramp operated by the National Park Service just next door—and plenty of parking for cars and trailers—everything’s set up to make your fishing experience easy and memorable. Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is still your go-to for world-class fishing, now with a fresh look and even more to offer.
