Supply, North Carolina, sits on the edge of adventure, where the Atlantic whispers promises of fishing, boating, and watersports that challenge and reward. At the heart of it all, Rigged & Ready Charters commands the water with expert guidance and local know-how, inviting both newcomers and seasoned outdoor enthusiasts to engage with the coastal wilds on their terms.

Whether your aim is to chase inshore trophy fish, glide across marshy estuaries, or cast lines where the currents pulse with life, this is where nature takes an active role in your story. Rigged & Ready Charters offers a variety of excursions tailored to skill levels, equipment readiness, and weather rhythms—the water always having its say.

One popular charter option is the inshore fishing trip. Running roughly 4 to 6 hours, it covers shallow coastal waters and intricate river flows, with an eye out for reds, trout, and flounder. The terrain underfoot quickly transitions to water’s grasp—the boat the indispensable companion. Bring polarized sunglasses to cut glare and sturdy footwear with good grip for dock maneuvering. Hydration is crucial since the sun here commands respect, especially mid-day.

Beyond fishing, the area invites you to explore eco-focused kayaking and paddleboarding. The tidal creeks and salt marshes move like living veins, beckoning to those patient enough to read their gentle pushes and pulls. Low tide offers richer access to hidden coves and birdlife, while high tide smooths the currents, ideal for beginners seeking calm, reflective waters.

Timing your trip to catch the sunrise over the Intracoastal Waterway offers a quiet moment to connect with the landscape before the day’s pace builds. The marsh grasses flutter like restless audiences watching your passage, fish occasionally darting through sun-dappled waves, hinting at the underwater stories that define this place.

On land, exploring nearby trails in nearby natural areas rewards with mixed forest canopies and sweeping views over salt flats. Trails range from gentle 2-mile loops to more rigorous 5+ mile hikes with modest elevation gain, offering a balance of shaded serenity and open overlooks. Dress in layers and wear moisture-wicking fabrics to stay comfortable through changing coastal conditions.

Preparation is key. Weather changes quickly—a summer thunderstorm can spring up without warning, while winter winds bring bracing chill. Pack waterproof gear when possible and consider early morning or late afternoon excursions to avoid the day’s heaviest sun. Local guides at Rigged & Ready Charters brief every group rigorously, ensuring safety while fostering a genuine respect for the environment’s rhythms.

Adventure here is not about dominance but engagement with forces that run deep: the tides, the wind, and the life beneath the surface all challenging you to adapt, learn, and appreciate. Equip yourself well, listen closely, and Supply’s waters promise moments that stay with you long after the boat docks.
