We have the largest sportfishing charter boat fleet on the Virginia Coast.

All vessels are individually owned.

All Captains are U.S.C.G. Licensed and participate in the maritime consortium. (U.S.C.G. Safety Alert)


What to bring:
Bring all your own food, drinks and beer. You will want to bring a cooler with ice to keep your food and drinks cold. Bring sunscreen, a hat or visor, sunglasses, non-skid shoes, a sweatshirt or light jacket and rain gear or a poncho, a camera or video camera, and anything else you wish to bring. You will also want to have a cooler in your car to bring your fish home. No hard liquor or glass containers are allowed on the boats.

Payments & Reservations:
Reservations Are Required. A 50% deposit is required and is taken by cash or credit card at the time of booking. No trip will be booked without a deposit! Payments accepted are cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

Make-Up Charters:
Make-up charters are available if you don't have a full party. Please inquire within the office for more information, or see the details on the MAKE-UP CHARTER PAGE. (Click Here.)

CHARTER POLICIES:

  1. CANCELLATIONS OR RESCHEDULED TRIPS:
    1. You may cancel or reschedule your trip up to 14 days prior to the date of your trip. Any trips that are cancelled or rescheduled less than 14 days will result in a forfeited deposit. NO EXCEPTIONS!
    2. Cancellation due to weather is at the Captains discretion. If the trip cannot be rescheduled all monies would be refunded.
    3. No Shows - anyone that books a trip and does not show up will automatically be charged the deposit amount which is equal to 50% f the total cost of the trip.
  2. TIPPING: A customary tip for the mate is generally 15% - 20% of the total cost of the trip. If you had a great time a tip to the Captain of $50-$100 is a nice bonus, but not expected.
