Discover one of the Outer Banks’ most enjoyable coastal traditions on a family-friendly clamming excursion with Retriever Charters. We take guests onto the beautiful inshore waters around Hatteras Island for a hands-on experience that combines boating, exploring, and learning about the Cape Hatteras environment.
Clamming is a fun activity for children, parents, and groups looking for something different to do in Hatteras, NC. Your captain will help you search for clams while explaining more about the local waters and the marine life that makes the Outer Banks so special. No previous experience is required, making this an easy and memorable addition to a family vacation.
Our clamming trips can be part of customized boating excursions that may also include sightseeing, shell hunting, island hopping, or inshore fishing. Spend time on the water, explore quiet areas away from the crowds, and experience another side of Hatteras Island.
Families can combine clamming with saltwater fishing for drum, speckled trout, bluefish, or Spanish mackerel when conditions and the season allow. With quality Penn fishing tackle available for fishing charters, everyone can participate—whether they are experienced anglers or trying speckled trout fishing or drum fishing for the first time.
