Salty Girl Charters is a family-friendly charter from Norfolk, Virginia. It operates in the lower Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Beach area. Captain Damani Ryan offers you various inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing trips and he's eager to help you have the best fishing experience possible.
The vessel you'll be using is a powerful 38' Dawson saltwater fishing boat.

It can sit up to 6 guests and is powered by a twin 375 HP Caterpillar engine. Apart from navigation and communication electronics, it's equipped with outriggers, a fighting chair, and livewell. The facilities you'll have at your disposal include a toilet, shower, kitchen, and bed. To bring you even more comfort there's onboard air conditioning, a refrigerator, and ice-box. In case you need any help, you can always turn to the first mate.

Some of the fish that you'll target include Bluefish, Spadefish, Mahi Mahi, and Atlantic Mackerel. You'll have the chance to try out bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, and jigging. Feel free to bring any kids with you. You can keep all the fish you catch and have some delicious meals when you get back home. The captain doesn't allow alcohol on the boat, but you're free to bring beer.

You'll have rods and reels waiting for you on board, so no need to worry about that. The crew will clean and fillet your catch, free of charge. You won't need any fishing licenses as well, so just pack your favorite food and drinks and you can start your journey.
