The Big
Tahuna provides these Frequently Asked Questions and some relevant
articles to help customers get the most out of their charter fishing
experience. Please let us know if you feel that we should add other
material here that we have not covered.
◄
How many people are allowed on a charter?
Our
charters are called 6 pack charters by the US Coast Guard
because our license allows us to take up to 6 paying passengers.
◄
Do I need to bring any fishing gear or bait?
No, we
provide the the very highest quality fishing gear and the freshest
bait available.
◄
Where do we leave from, what time do we leave in the morning and
come back in the evening?
The Big
Tahuna is docked at Teach's Lair Marina located in Hatteras Village
about 200 yards north of the Ferry Docks on HWY NC12. We try to
leave at 6am. and our average charter trip lasts about 8 hours but
depends on our fishing that day and the customer's desires.
◄
Do you provide food and drinks?
Customer's are requested to bring their own food and drink. We will
help you load your cooler(s) when you arrive for your charter.
◄
Can I
keep my fish? Yes, in Hatteras it is customary for the customers
to take their fish and divide them up among their party.
◄
Do you clean and pack my fish?
You can
take your fish with you and filet them at home or use the fish
cleaning service available daily at Teach's Lair to professionally
filet and pack your catch.
◄
What
happens if the weather is bad? It is the captain's choice
concerning the weather. Please show up for your trip even if you are
sure that your trip will be canceled. Often the weather is much
different offshore then it is at the dock. If the captain determines
it necessary to cancel your trip we can discuss when to reschedule
your charter.
◄
Where
can we stay while we are in Hatteras? There are several
different accommodations available for our charter customers. We
currently have a combo charter/lodging package available that you
can check outhere.
We can
also recommend any of these local motels.
