About Us

The Barbarino

The Barbarino is a 37’ Topaz Express Sport Fisherman. Topaz yachts are known as “battlewagons” for their sturdy hulls and seaworthiness. She is powered by twin 3208 CAT diesel engines with turbochargers and has a cruising speed of 20 knots. The Barbarino sports a generously sized fishing deck and will easily accommodate 6 for charter fishing. The cabin is fully air-conditioned/heated with a full head, refrigerator and cushioned seating/bunks. Onboard we are outfitted with all of the essential safety equipment.

Captain: Dan Harris

My family has been at Carolina Beach since 1939 when my grandfather built a beach cottage that we still use today. While attending college at UNC Wilmington, and off and on for many years after graduation, I worked as a mate on Head and Charter boats out of Carolina Beach. By using my own vessels as well as by booking charters with other captains, I have continued to fish on a regular basis. I’ve always loved to fish offshore, and I want to take that passion and become the best captain possible. I am also a certified NAUI diver and have taken many dives both offshore and inland.

Carolina Beach Fishing Charter First Mate

First Mate: James Harris

I grew up on the water and have spent time at Carolina Beach my whole life. Fishing and the outdoors are my passion. I have fished offshore for years with my Dad, so I’m experienced with all aspects of what it takes to fish offshore successfully. I can also clean and package all your fish for a small fee. I am looking forward to this next chapter of my life on the ocean.
