Heather DoughertyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat fishing trip!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 29, 2026 • 6 adultsOur family took the 4 hour inshore fishing trip and had a great experience. We caught 28 fish and Captain Brian was awesome. The first mate was very knowledgeable and patient with our teenage boys. We will definitely be booking again next year, hoping to do offshore with them next. I would highly recommend them if you are seeking experienced fisherman.

12 Hour Trip – Offshore on August 17, 2024 • 6 adultsCapt Brian and First Mate Rob were first class! They took us for an all-day (12+ hours) deep sea fishing experience. They were amazing and took care of us and our catch! We caught Mahi Mahi and all had a shot to reel them in. Then came the pinnacle of that trip, we reeled in a PHENOMENAL BLUE MARLIN! Catch and trip of a lifetime!! Thank you C Level, Rob and Brian for the best 56th birthday ever!

Travis Epling4.7Verified6hr Trip with Captain Brian
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 13, 2022 • 6 adults5 of my buddies and went on a 6 hour trip with Captain Brian. It was last minute, booked around 4 pm and confirmed by 5. Captain Brian was an awesome guy and extremely nice. Brice was really cool and very helpful. Took care of everything for us. The fishing was a little slow at times but they did their best to get us on them. Overall we caught 20 Ribbon Fish and 2 Blue. We ran into a few groups at the cleaning station and no one had caught that much. Planning on going again and doing an all day trip with them. The only thing the trip needed was cup holders haha. Overall a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you guys for a great day!

12 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 9, 2021 • 2 adultsCaptain Brian, and his team did an awesome job putting us on fish, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our day.

Thanx for everything Captain Brian, Blake, and John.

Kristina Johnson4.7Verified1/2 day trip with Brian & Clay
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 30, 2021 • 6 adults • 3 childrenOur family had the BEST time on our first charter fishing trip with C-Level! We caught a bunch of ribbon fish and then Brian drove us to where he knew the red drum were and we caught 4 HUGE ones - over 60lbs! Clay was a great first mate and very knowledgeable. Can’t wait to book a 12hr offshore trip! Cannot recommend Brian & Clay enough!

Captian Brian and first mate, Kadence had thier game dialed in. They worked extremely hard and thier determination landed us more Mahi than we could muster along with my first white marlin. We had a blast and learned a lot. Conditions were rough on the way back but C-Level had no problem getting us back safely.
Didn’t get to fish with Captain Brian but Jake who filled in for him was great and we caught a bunch of fish. contact was great for everything.
great crew, has the best interest of his guests. seas were rough but he gave us the chance to still go out and fish.
The grandkids caught 32 fish on a beautiful day. We all enjoyed it.

Your captain
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
A Virginia Beach native, Captain Brian has fished the Atlantic from Ocean City, MA, to Miami, FL, and even the Bahamas. He's returned home to join the family business, where his father, Paul, runs C Level Sportfishing. Naturally, Capt. Brian has been fishing his whole life, and by now has over 15 years of professional experience. Running inshore and offshore trips, his biggest catch was a 650 to 700 lb blue marlin and some bluefin tunas about the same size. While passionate about fishing, he also enjoys spending time with and meeting new people, and Capt. Brian is delighted that this job enables him to get the best of both worlds.
