Our Mission

​Since having his two young sons, Andy's desire to teach and provide others a great experience on the water has become his mission. At Captain Bates, we want to create a lifetime of great memories fishing and hunting on the waters of Atlantic Beach, Beaufort, Morehead City, Cape Lookout, Harkers Island, and the Neuse River of North Carolina. Book a Fishing Charter or Hunting Trip with Captain Bates and let us customize an Adventure you and your family will talk about for years! Whatever your skill level may be, at Captain Bates Guide Service we will try to teach you everything we can while making the most out of every Fishing Charter or Hunting Trip.
