Marva Outdoors Charter Service
From drag-screaming action to relaxing sunset fishing, Marva Outdoors will customize your trip and provide you with the experience you’re looking for. Captain Trey Ritter is a USCG licensed guide and Virginia native with years of experience fishing along the East Coast.
You’ll join him aboard his 26’ C-Hawk center console. She comes with a flybridge for sight fishing and Lowrance navigational equipment, making it easier than ever to locate your prey. The boat accommodates up to 4 guests, you’ll have a porta potty on board, as well as 2 coolers, one for your catch and another for food and drinks. There is no minimum age for children and Capt. Trey has kids and adult-sized life vests available.
You’ll troll along the Chesapeake Bay or oceanfront looking for Cobia, Bluefish, Stripers, and King Mackerel. You’ll also be able to bottom fish for species such as Redfish and Black Drum. Other techniques you may use, depending on the species you’re targeting, may include jigging, popping, and spinning.
Capt. Trey is an expert in fly fishing as well. As long as you bring your own fly rod, the captain will take you on an exclusive challenge to target species such as Spadefish and Spotted Seatrout.
Capt. Trey also offers spearfishing for those looking to take their skills beneath the surface. Just bring your own diving gear and get ready for a memorable fishing experience! You can also customize your trip and target various Shark species such as Blacktip and Dogfish.
You’ll have plenty of top-quality rods and reels to choose from, made by Shimano, Penn, Daiwa, and Ugly Stik. Your fishing license is already covered, so all you need to bring is some food, drinks, sunscreen, and a hat.
VA Beach is famous for its biodiversity, so be sure to bring a camera to capture some of its beautiful wildlife, including dolphins and rays. Get ready to discover the Chesapeake Bay, as well as Virginia’s pristine coastline, and book your next fishing trip with Marva Outdoors!

Full Day Trip
A fun day on the water.
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.

Great experience for all!
The Captain and crew were amazing. My son had a blast even at a younger age and still caught some huge reds! They know how to find the fish and give you lots of cool education on the fish as well. Will definitely be back!

Half Day Trip (AM)
Half Day on Father's Day!
I took my future father and brother-in-law on their first charter in the Bay and it was fantastic! We didn't catch the cobia, but we pulled in some nice Spanish Mackerel that ended up being good eating. Trey and his dad were outstanding and made sure we had lots of fun. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed our time out on the water. I know they'll put us on the cobia next time!
