1/2 Day Fishing Trip on August 31, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenAlthough the weather wasn’t ideal and we had to remain in the inlet, Captain Trey and Greg did their best to make our trip enjoyable. We caught flounder, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and croaker. They took excellent care of my two sons (ages 8 and 10) and made sure we had a great time. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Full Day Trip on July 2, 2020 • 2 adultsTom and Jack were great all day! Worked hard to put us on fish, and they found them. Very professional, and personable. Would recommend to anyone!
George PilkingtonMember since 20195.0Great day with the MarVa crew!
Full Day Trip on June 15, 2018We had a full day of excitement with Trey and Tom Ritter. Plenty of fish including cobia and red drum. Must have seen 40 porpoise and a few sea turtles that were as big as a small car. Took a run to the Virginia Beach ocean front where there was a monster truck show going on right on the beach. I would certainly recommend these guys for a full or half day trip.
Blake SibleyMember since 20195.0Cobia, drum and Spanish trolling

Captain Trey Ritter and his father, Tom Ritter, were very knowledgeable about the area and fantastic to work with. They were willing to answer any questions my family had and even show us some techniques and tricks to ocean fishing. They were considerate and made the trip enjoyable considering the weather.
While we were loading up on the boat, Captain Tom let my nephew fish for spot at the dock while going over the game plan for the day and the safety brief. After that, we headed out to the second island and caught some red drum. We then went looking for cobia which was a tough. Weather conditions made it a tough day for targeting cobia. One the way in, we tried for more red drum, then headed back in. Tom let my nephew up on the cobia tower right before docking. We all really enjoyed the day, and if you have kids, I recommend booking him.

Thank you Colby! It was a great time having your family on the boat, and we hope to see you again! Congrats to Tucker again for catching 6 different species of fish!
Great captain and crew. Weather was up so fished inshore. Caught fish and had a great time!

Your captain
Norfolk, Virginia, United States
Captain Trey Ritter grew up hunting and fishing at a young age. Over the years, he's learned everything there is to know about the natural habitats of Virginia and Maryland's Eastern Shore, as well as the historic Chesapeake Bay. He's fished and hunted up and down the entire East Coast of the U.S. and Canada, 'but nothing compares to the hunting and fishing that the Chesapeake Bay region offers.' Having grown on the Lafayette River, a small tributary off of the Chesapeake Bay, he learned to chase large Stripers, Cobia, Redfish, and other popular summer trophy fish. Capt. Trey is USCG licensed, holds a number of Saltwater Citations for prize species, and has also placed in several large regional tournaments. You can expect a passionate angler and guide who loves to share his knowledge with families, friends, and clients to deliver the most memorable experience on the water. Get ready for a fantastic day on the Bay and book your next fishing trip with Marva Outdoors!
