Hatteras has a fish with your name on it, so let Beau Dempsey's Fishing Charters help you catch it! Captain Kenneth will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of local experience.

Local species include Speckled Trout, Weakfish, Redfish, Black Drum, Cobia, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Shark, Flounder, Sheepshead, and more, depending on when you go. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Over 30 years of experience in the surrounding waters have helped the captain to perfect and dial in fishing techniques and fishing areas that have a record of producing quality catches.

Beau Dempsey's Fishing Charters is a kid-friendly charter service, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Captain Kenneth has 2 young children and loves the opportunity to share his love of fishing with them and any other children that he has the privilege to fish with.

Capt. Kenneth will bring you aboard a 24' Carolina skiff that holds up to 6 passengers. The boat is not a showboat or the prettiest boat at the dock, but it is a proven fishing platform for these waters. It's big enough to go into the ocean but drafts such little water that it's perfect for drifting very shallow flats for Redfish and Trout. The boat also has a sight casting tower that proves vital when fishing for Cobia and schooling Redfish. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Don't leave home without snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Beau Dempsey's Fishing Charters.

First Time
Half Day Trip – PM (4 MAX) on July 30, 20264 adults

It was my first time out on a boat fishing for ocean fish and I loved it. Realing a fighting fish is so much fun. Would recommend to anyone. The Captain was very nice telling my boys about the boat, how he got started, and was very nice. Great experience

Beau was great.

Fishing was slow but we caught a 29" drum. Beau worked hard to find the fish but they just weren't there today.

World Class
Half Day Trip – AM (4 MAX) on July 9, 20243 adults1 child

Spent the morning on the sound with Captain Beau. He made everyone in the boat feel comfortable immediately. He did an awesome job explaining to everyone what species we would target and how we would fish for them. We got lucky and got onto fish almost right out of the gate. When the fishing slowed he did his best to get us back in action. The fishing was great and the conversation with Captain Beau was even better. This guy is the real deal and we will definitely be using him again when we come back to Hatteras. He is a world class guy that happens to run a really good fishing charter.

I am a second-generation captain that grew up in Hatteras village. My father is an inshore fishing captain, and I was raised fishing and learning from him every chance I got. My father and my 2 brothers all run charters to this day, and we use each other to help aid one another in finding and catching fish. I have fished the local waters for 30 years and worked on many big local boats until I had the money to buy my own boat.
