Meet Captain Allan
Forman
 Captain
Allan "Big Al" Foreman has 38 years of offshore experience. He holds a
masters license with unlimited tonnage. Captain Allan grew up in
nearby Elizabeth City and spent his summers working on the Outer Banks. He was about 7 years-old when he
first went inlet fishing with his grandfather. He started
running charters in 1972 after graduating from college. As the
former owner of Pirate's Cove Marina, Captain Allan's boat, the
Crystal Dawn, was the first to fish out of what has
grown into Pirate's Cove Yacht Club. He sold the marina in 1982
and kept the Crystal Dawn, which he ran from 1980-1984. The
original Country Girl was a fifty footer licensed to carry 22
people. He built the current Country Girl 1990 with his
father-in-law Captain
Buddy Cannady. He has run hundreds of gulf stream charters since
1975. He created the Crystal Dawn Corporation in 1977, which
operates the Crystal Dawn and the Country Girl out of Pirate's
Cove today. Captain Allan is the famed
Big Al of Big Al's Soda Fountain
and Grill in Manteo. While visiting Big Al's, don't be
surprised to find yourself eating fresh fish caught aboard his
beloved Country Girl. It will give you another chance to chat
with this personable captain who is a regular dinner customer!
