Come 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.

Fall Live bait for tuna and kings on November 25, 20256 adults
Our day of fishing was fun, action packed and exceeded every expectation. Despite the wind, kind of rough water and a little sea sickness, we were beyond pleased with our trip. Captain Shaun and First Mate Matt really delivered. From the time the first bait hit the water we were hooked up, often times with 3-4 fish on at the same time. Shaun and Matt were absolute beasts, working like mad to keep the action coming. in short order our limit was a “Dunn Deal”. They were prepared and willing to keep us fishing for other species, but due to sore arms (from reeling in big fish) and a couple of sore stomachs, we chose to head back to land. We are so appreciative of their efforts and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Captain Shaun, Matt and Dunn Deal Sportfishing. The Lord is good and I hope he blesses us with the opportunity to fish with them again.

6/2025 fishing trip
11 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 20, 20256 adults
e had an amazing time on our fishing charter! Captain Dunn and the clay were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made sure everyone felt comfortable, whether it was your first time fishing or not. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the whole experience was well-organized from start to finish. Best of all, we caught fish! Everyone in our group reeled in something, and the crew made sure we had plenty of action and fun along the way. If you're looking for a fun, successful day on the water with a top-notch team, I highly recommend this charter. We'll definitely be booking again!
