The Captain
Very few captains can claim the titles of boat builder, owner, and captain of their vessel as Captain Brian White does. Captain Brian grew up in Henderson, NC, fishing on Kerr Lake and here on the beach, knowing that one day, he would make his love of boats and fishing work for him. After graduating high school, he moved to Hatteras and began his career as a mate, eventually moving up to captain of a 56 foot vessel, fishing Florida and Bahamas before settling in Manteo to make his own charter boat business a reality. Captain Brian currently holds a USCG 100 ton Master license. Captain Brian also served as a boat builder’s helper, and through that experience, he developed a passion for boat building. Although he encountered a great deal of skepticism of his solo boat building abilities, he has a very large orange and white reminder at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center that he did it his way and it works! Few things can compare to the satisfaction and pride in a job well done, and the “Wave Runner” is certainly well done!
