Qualifier Charters

Crew

Together Fin and Chris have fished in locations such as Cape Verde, Mexico, Venezuela, Bahamas, as well as charter fishing in North Carolina. Fishing in different locations under different conditions gives our crew the upper hand in many situations. The crew fishes over a half dozen tournaments a year catching everything from tuna to marlin.

Captain Fin Gaddy

Captain Fin Gaddy began fishing with his family out of Morehead City at the age of 12. In 1983 he caught his first billfish on his fathers boat the Sea Dart with Captain Peter DuBose. For the next five years Fin and Peter fished together aboard the Sea Dart. In 1989 Fin moved to Nags Head and began mating for Captain Hank Beasley aboard the Top Billin, and the Hit N Run. After which he began fishing with Skip Fellar on the Hustler. In 1997 Fin moved to Hatteras and began his own charter operation aboard the Qualifer. In 2003 Fin moved back to Nags Head and began fishing out of the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. Fin has fished locations around the world from Bermuda, to Cape Verde, to Venezuela, and Central America. Last summer Fin became a board member for the Billfish Foundation. The Billfish Foundation (TBF) is the only non-profit organization dedicated solely to conserving and enhancing billfish populations around the world.

Mate Chris Kubic

Mate Chris Kubik began fishing with his family on the outerbanks at a young age. He caught his first white marlin when he was 16, and he would say "it was all over from there". As he got older he moved to Nags Head and began mating on the inshore boats. He soon started working for Captain Fin, and has had the opportuity to fish many foreign locations. Chris is now in his 6th year aboard the Qualifier.
