An Outer Banks Headboat Excursion You'll Never Forget!
The Crystal Dawn is a 65-foot head boat powered by twin 6-T1 diesels. Although we have room for 150, we have limited our fishing trips to 50 anglers. The Crystal Dawn is equipped with all new tackle, ship-to-shore and CB radios, fathomers and fish finder.
From the moment she leaves the dock, whether you're on the upper or lower deck, the Crystal Dawn Head Boat/party boat will take you on an excursion you'll never forget! As she exits the mouth of Pirates Cove, crosses under the William B. Umpstead Bridge, you can relax, enjoy, and take it all in as the Crystal Dawn follows the channel buoys to the fishing grounds. Keep your eyes peeled for osprey nesting, dolphin playing in the wake, and the pelican as they swoop beneath the surface for their food. Pack slices of bread or crackers to toss to the seagull and/or laughing gull. When she gets closer to Oregon Inlet, have your camera ready for a great shot of the Bodie Island Lighthouse. Another popular site you won't want to miss is the majestic Duck Island Hunt Club built in the early 1930s. This excursion is truly a must do for young and old alike!

Visitors to Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands will simultaneously be visiting the gorgeous Cape Hatteras National Seashore. One of the largest preserved parcels of the Outer Banks, the National Seashore stretches across 70 miles of shoreline, encompassing seven villages on Hatteras Island, and providing visitors with miles of undisturbed, scenic beaches as well as some of the prettiest natural drives on the East Coast.
Nags Head real estate tends to be both pricier and in higher demand than other regions of the central Outer and Inner Banks, thanks to the town's limited area, miles of beaches, and longstanding notoriety as one of the best beach destinations along the coast.
