Captain Pete’s Eastern Shore adventure welcomes you to Chincoteague Island on a fishing trip of a lifetime. Not sure what to do? You can do it all! Book a relaxing, yet exciting four-hour trip, and spend some quality time with the family.

The Fish Tales fleet currently consists of 4 boats, and Captain Pete Wallace invites you to spend a perfect day out on his 24’ center console, a real beauty. Manufactured by Carolina Skiff in 2002, this boat was fully refurbished in 2018 so you’ll find only top-notch modern accessories on board – from high-quality navigational electronics to safety equipment.

It also has a canopy top for keeping you shaded, cushioned seating area for resting while you’re waiting for fish to bite. The vessel is roomy enough to accommodate up to 6 anglers, but the maximum number of passengers depends on the type of the trip.

All the trips include the use of top-quality fishing gear, lures, and live bait (caught during the trip). The first mate will be assisting you with everything – he’ll even clean and fillet your delicious catch after the trip is over. All you have to do is book a trip and experience Chincoteague Island from a unique point of view!
