Beau Dempsey's Fishing Charters

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.

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.
