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.
