Crushin It Sportfishing invites you on a fishing adventure in Virginia! You’ll get to explore the inshore, nearshore, as well as offshore grounds around Virginia Beach, all rich in fish and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Come aboard and let Captain Ryan Bradford make your fishing experience one to remember.

Your trip will start on a 26’ Sailfish walkaround that can accommodate up to 4 anglers. It runs on two 150 HP Yamaha engines, uses quality navigation electronics, and is equipped with outriggers as well as spearing gear. The boat also features a flybridge with full controls, an enclosed toilet, and freshwater and saltwater washdowns. In addition, you can use the livewell, refrigerator, and ice-box.

Many intriguing species will cross your paths, some of them being Cobia, giant Red Drum, Mahi Mahi, and Spadefish. Virginia Beach offers some of the best Cobia and Drum sight fishing in the world. You can catch them on heavy and light tackle by trolling, spinning, and even kite fishing. Kids are welcome to join the trip if they are over 90 lbs and you’re free to choose whether you’ll keep your catch or not.

Captain Ryan covers you for all the fishing gear and licenses, so you should just bring your favorite food and drinks before you depart.

Come aboard and enjoy a day on the water with Crushin It Sportfishing!
