Have you been on the Crystal Dawn?

Meet Capt. Lee Tugwell.

With more than 50 years as a captain, Lee knows these local waters like the back of his hand. His resume on the water runs deep, including owning his own charter business for more than 20 years and captaining everything from 16-foot skiffs to 87-foot trawlers.

Fishing with Capt. Lee means spending time with someone who knows the Outer Banks by water, by weather, and by story. Our captains don’t just put you on the fish; they share the kind of local knowledge you only get from a lifetime on the water.

What’s something you remember learning from a trip aboard Crystal Dawn? 🎣
