About Us

Fishing is not a sport, It’s a way of life

Who we are

Our Journey

Welcome to Inshore Addiction Charters, a passion project born from a lifelong love of fishing and the serene beauty of North Carolina’s coastal marshes. Established in 2014, our charter service has been dedicated to providing exceptional inshore and near-shore fishing experiences in the lush waterways of Swansboro and Emerald Isle.

Your Boat Captain

Meet Captain Jake Kight

Captain Jake Kight is the driving force behind Inshore Addiction Charters. His fishing journey began early in life, fostering a deep connection with the water and its abundant marine life. In 2004, Captain Jake answered the call of duty by joining the Marine Corps, which brought him to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. It was here that he discovered his new home among the expansive marshes of Swansboro and Emerald Isle.

Determined to master his new environment, Captain Jake devoted his free time to exploring the local waters, honing his fishing skills, and understanding the intricate ecosystems that make Eastern North Carolina a premier destination for anglers. His dedication and expertise have transformed Inshore Addiction Charters into a trusted name for both novice and seasoned fishermen seeking memorable fishing adventures.
