Dunn Deal Sportfishing offers Gulf Stream fishing trips out of Hatteras, North Carolina, targeting tuna, dolphin, wahoo, billfish, and more. Born and raised on Hatteras Island, Captain Shaun Dunn has been living and working on the water his entire life — helping his dad on the family’s commercial boat as a teen, mating and captaining various vessels over the years, and later becoming a Cummins diesel repair mechanic and Yamaha/Suzuki technician.
In 2020, Shaun moved back to Hatteras and began mating on the Harper’s Folly, eventually buying the boat from retiring captain Tom Harper. After extensive renovations while working through the charter season, the boat officially became the Dunn Deal.
The boat is a custom-built 42-foot Ocean Yacht with twin-diesel Cummins engines, rigged with top-of-the-line electronics and safety equipment, licensed to carry up to 6 passengers. Recent upgrades include a full interior cabin renovation, a remodeled restroom, a tuna greenstick, cabin A/C and heat, a TV/DVD player, microwave, and Keurig coffee machine. Every trip includes licenses, bait, and tackle — guests just bring a cooler, drinks, food, and sunscreen (no spray sunscreen allowed onboard).
Docked at Teach’s Lair Marina beside Hatteras Sol restaurant, guest reviews describe memorable family trips landing wahoo, mahi-mahi, and tuna, with Captain Shaun praised for a comfortable boat and an excellent day on the water.
For anglers looking for a personal, deeply rooted Hatteras Gulf Stream fishing charter, Dunn Deal Sportfishing offers a well-reviewed operation with Captain Shaun Dunn.
