Dunn Deal Sportfishing
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.

6/2025 fishing trip
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!

Amazing Charter!
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!
