Dunn Deal Sportfishing
+52Come join the Dunn Deal for an action-packed fun day on the water with Hatteras Native Captain Shaun Dunn and second-generation local fisherman. He will put you on the fish with his lifelong local knowledge of the waters of Hatteras, North Carolina. Pack your stuff and set sail for beautiful nearshore or offshore waters full of fish!
Your journey begins on “Dunn Deal”, a restored 42’ Custom yacht saltwater fishing boat. She runs on a twin 355 HP Cummins engine giving the boat a very fast cruise speed getting you to the fishing grounds in no time at all. The vessel has plenty of room for a fun day on the water. She’s rigged with the latest top-of-the-line navigation electronics and fishing equipment. The boat has many amenities including but not limited to an A/C and heated cabin, microwave, 32" tv with DVD player, Keurig coffee maker, Tuna green stick, and clean onboard bathroom.
There’s a great variety of fish for you to catch in these productive waters, with Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Grouper, and Marlin being just some of the species you can target. Kids are more than welcome to join the trip, so why not bring the whole family and have a wonderful time together in nature? You’re free to keep the fish you catch and there are cleaners at the marine available to clean your catch.
Captain Shaun will supply you with all the fishing supplies you will need during the day, so you shouldn’t worry about equipment at all. He also has a trained mate on board to help you throughout the day while fishing that works for tips (20% is customary). He’s also got you covered for fishing licenses, which means you’ll just need to pack your favorite food and drinks before you start your journey. Keep in mind that spray sunscreen is not allowed on board.
Book a trip at Dunn Deal Sportfishing and have a wonderful fishing experience of a lifetime on the waters of North Carolina.

Amazing Charter!
11 Hour Trip – Offshore on October 26, 2024
We had an awesome time on this charter. It was all our first time going out this far and fishing on this scale. Remember to take your dramamine if this is a first time thing for your group because the ocean can change from calm to rough in an instant. Get those sea legs ready! The Captain and mate are awesome, and this isn’t just a job for them it’s a lifestyle with years of experience. Everything they do is with the clients in mind to get you on fish. And oh boy did we get on some fish! They are straight forward with you because they want you to catch fish! Don’t be offended by them yelling or them telling what to do because they know what is best and you need to listen to catch these fish! This ain’t bass fishing yall! Overall we had an amazing time and got it done with Dunn Deal! Highly recommend and we can’t wait till next time!

11 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 12, 2024
Shaun & Matt were wonderful!! We had an all day off-shore charter booked for our family of 4. This was supposed to be the highlight of our vacation. Husband & I are huge fishers when at home and have gone on other fishing charters so this was a must for us! Everything was great until we got to our fishing spot (of course!). Daughter & I both got fairly seasick. Shaun & Matt had us on the fish. No one wanted to call it quits but my daughter & I just couldn't take it. My husband & son were able to fish a total of 20 mins. or so. In that short time frame, they were able to catch 13 Mahi Mahi. As much as he hated to, Shaun took us back to the marina. We were back by 9:00am. :( If we are ever back in the area, I would 10/10 book w/ Dunn Deal in a heartbeat & hope for a better personal situation. After speaking w/ Shaun, we got great recommendations for next time on how to try to prevent. Even though our trip was short for personal reasons, I would hands down book w/ Shaun again.

11 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 9, 2024
We had the pleasure of going offshore with Shaun and Matt and took our two 18 year old sons. We caught lots of mahi along with a few other types. Captain Shaun took us out to really deep water and let us try some deep bottom fishing. The entire experience was great! The 11+ hours we were on the boat flew by! We loved our experience and highly recommend chartering a fishing trip with Captain Shaun and Mate Matt!
