Hatteras GT65 Carolina – Brianna

October 27, 2020 By InTheBite Editor

By Steve Dougherty

Despite a week of continuous rain and more precipitation on the radar, we were graced with a break in the weather allowing for a quick sea trial out Port Everglades aboard the all-new Hatteras GT65 Carolina. A brisk east wind added to the uncertainty, stirring up the seas with a short distance between crests. “Perfect day for a sea trial,” Captain Bill Diamond chuckled as we cleared the bobbing sea buoy.

About: The most complete 60ft sportfish on the market! This particular 60, 60C218 was built specifically under the direction of a veteran owner’s understanding of exactly what the full requirements are in sportfishing and sport cruising. From the custom helm and cockpit to the 3 stateroom/3 head layout, the attention to extended cruising and fishing details were on the mark. Maintained impeccably by a veteran full-time captain, this 60 is still unmatched in its construction and constant first class condition.

Hatteras Village Offshore Open May Tournament Cancelled

April 24, 2020 By InTheBite Editor

Hatteras Village Offshore — It is with great sadness that we, the tournament committee for the Hatteras Village Offshore Open (HVOO), must cancel this year’s tournament which was scheduled for May 12th – 16th. On April 21st, Dare County announced the staged entry of non-resident property owners beginning May 4th and extended our “Stay Home – Stay Healthy” order until May 22, 2020. No word has yet to be given on when visitors will be permitted to access Dare County. We wish we had better news to share but realize that we are all having to make sacrifices during this unprecedented time.

To our participants, we are going to miss seeing you all, those who have been fishing the HVOO for years and those who were going to be joining us for the first time. We will be doing everything in our power to make next year’s tournament the best yet and trust that you will come back and join us!

To our sponsors, your involvement throughout the years is appreciated more than you know. It is through your support that we are able to fund scholarships for Hatteras Village residents to further their education and also make donations to many of the other non-profit organizations here on Hatteras Island. We will be reaching out to you each individually to discuss options.

We hope that everyone will be able to get back out on the water soon. There are some other great tournaments coming up in the North Carolina Governor’s Cup and we wish everyone calm seas and tight lines.

For more information, please visit https://www.hvoo.org
