Sea Hag Sportfishing

Sea Hag is a 46 ft. Buddy Harris powered with a pair of Caterpillar C12’s. This boat has the classic Carolina flare for a smooth comfortable ride. Buddy Harris boats are well known for being the ultimate offshore fishing machines made famous for fishing the unpredictable offshore waters off North Carolina’s Coast. She is fully rigged with all the latest USCG safety equipment, state-of-the-art electronics, a large 130# class fighting chair, and top of the line modern fishing tackle for trolling, bottom fishing or casting for every possible situation. Plus, her roomy salon with two very comfortable sofas, refrigerator, microwave, and a/c is perfect for making your charter an enjoyable experience for the entire family.

On the Sea Hag during our offshore (10hr) charter we target Tuna, Marlin, Dolphin, Bigeyes, Sailfish, Cobia, plus bottom fishing. With our inshore charters (4hr or 6hr) we target Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Drum, Cobia, and Ribbonfish. 

We are docked at Wanchese Marina which has plenty of free parking for your vehicle when you arrive and professional fish cleaning and packaging available for when we return to the docks. Our marina’s grill opens at 6am so you will also be able to have a quick breakfast and coffee before your fish catching excursion begins. Captain Frank has over 30 years of charter fishing experience, the Sea Hag team goes to every effort possible to ensure your friends and family have an exceptional and affordable fish catching adventure. No detail is ever too small when in comes to planning each trip so please call and let us design a charter trip around your exact needs.

Sea Hag Sportfishing reserves the right to add a reasonable fuel surcharge.
