MEET THE CREW

Captain William Howell is a seasoned angler with deep roots in the Outer Banks. Born and raised on this unique coast, he began his fishing career at the young age of 12, learning from his grandfather, Monte Howell. This early exposure, combined with extensive travel and experience working with leading captains worldwide, has equipped him with the knowledge and skills to provide exceptional fishing experiences. His father, Ritchie Howell, a celebrated boat builder, instilled in him a deep appreciation for the craft and a commitment to excellence.
A testament to his skill and dedication, William has been named Captain of the Year in both 2022 and 2024.
