Sea Angel Sportfishing

At $1450 for offshore charters, Capt. Derek Wood offers the very best rates in Cape Hatteras for affordable family friendly big game fishing out of Hatteras Landing Marina. Smaller groups can now enjoy the excitement of Cape Hatteras fishing. Our 36' BHM custom built Sea Angel is a full keel charter boat (designed to protect the prop and rudder) which means we can run the shallow waters of Hatteras Inlet more often and a lot safer than the traditional charter boat fleet. We aren't quite as fancy as some of the bigger charter yachts but our long standing reputation for bringing in the best catches day in and day out make choosing Sea Angel a very wise decision!

Why Should I Take The Drive to Cape Hatteras?

For one thing, Cape Hatteras is situated only ten miles from the warm fertile offshore fishing waters of the Atlantic Gulf Stream. Cape Hatteras is world renowned for its excellent marlin and sailfish catches along with many other desireable pelagic species such as tuna, wahoo, mahi, king mackerel, etc. Over the past few decades many high dollar fishing tournaments have been held here due to our remarkable fishing location.

Anglers are left with the decision whether to drive a little farther in their car in order to enjoy a much shorter boat ride or go to another inlet and then spend half of their charter time riding on a boat in and out to the where the fish are located. Another bonus is that Hatteras charters tend to be less expensive because our boats are not burning nearly as much fuel as the charter boats at other inlets. Anglers should always make the wisest choice to get our higher quality Hatteras fishing at a far better price!

Captain Derek Wood

Capt. Derek Wood

Capt. Derek Wood has been fishing out of Cape Hatteras for 10 years both commercially and mating on charter boats including the big 52' Capt Snag. Derek has always been obsessed with fishing since the age of 5 when his father shared offshore stories of his own youth of mating out of Rudee Inlet, VA. Those stories inspired Derek with the drive to be the best fisherman he could become. Capt. Derek's goal is to always provide the most professional fishing service in Hatteras for the best price available. He prefers a low key respectful approach so that Sea Angel's clients are always having a lot of fun and enjoying the excitement of big game fishing while he strives hard to put fish in the box for them! Derek has worked diligently to establish himself in this industry and fulfill his dream of being in charge of his own charter boat.

Sea Angel is committed to making sure that each and every client onboard is going to have the best experience possible. Yes, we are very proud of our outstanding reputation of always producing great catches. Of course, we will always want to catch more and bigger fish but only if we can guarantee that our guests are enjoying every minute of their Hatteras charter trip. We want our customers to end each experience while already planning their next trip aboard Sea Angel!

Our Charter Rates (Best in Hatteras!)

Sea Angel is an economical 36' BHM with a full keel designed to run the tricky Hatteras Inlet where the others can't. She has been completely remodeled and repowered for the rigorous challenge of Cape Hatteras charter fishing. We are licensed to take up to six anglers but we find that four anglers is almost ideal for this boat. Less anglers means more time on the rods for each angler. We primarily fish offshore with lines out only about ten miles outside our inlet. All these advantages menas that we are normally better priced than all other boats at Cape Hatteras.

Full day offshore charters - $1450

Half day near shore charters - $700

  • Our full day offshore trips start when we leave the dock and end around 5pm when we return to offload your catch on the dock.
  • Our price includes your fishing license, fishing gear, fuel, bait and up to six anglers.
  • Our rates are quoted for those paying at the boat in cash but if booking by credit card Hatteras Landing Marina charges a 5% card processing fee.
  • Unless you hear from the captain beforehand, all anglers are required to be at boat at the appointed time (rain or shine). Any decision to cancel a trip is at the full discretion of the captain. If for some reason your trip has to be canceled, you will receive the option for a refund of previously paid fees or the opportunity to reschedule. "No shows" sacrifice all payments or deposits.
  • Your mate is normally the hardest worker on every charter. It is customary in NC to tip the mate (20% to 25%) for a good job. Although it is not required to tip the captain, of course it is always appreciated if the tip is because he has gone above and beyond the normal call of duty to get your fish.
