Whether you are deep-sea fishing with a professional captain and crew, or headed out on your own private boat, there are several precautions that you can take to ensure your own safety as well as the safety of those accompanying you. As an experienced Hatteras Fishing Captain, I know that safety is of the utmost importance. By following a few simple rules, you are guaranteed to have the best OBX fishing experience, and you’ll even bring home one heck of a fresh catch.
Simple Safety Rules Go A Long Way:
- Avoid Seasickness: Steer clear of boat fumes if you are feeling seasick. Not only do these typical fumes add to the problem, but they can also be the cause. Any pro suggests that you remain on deck and try to keep yourself occupied to keep yourself from concentrating on the motion of the vessel.
- Always keep the recommended amount of Personal Flotation Devices on hand, in case of an emergency.
- Fishing equipment should be handled responsibly, and our OBX fishing crew will certainly show you how to safely handle all of the necessary equipment.
- Sun Block: While it may seem to be an unimportant “safety issue”, severe sunburn is actually very serious. Always bring sun block on your Outer Banks Deep-Sea Fishing trips.
- Stay hydrated: Be sure to pack enough snacks and drinks to last throughout your entire OBX fishing charter.

Always be certain that you charter a boat that is run by an experienced captain and crew who use the appropriate fishing equipment and electronics.
