Go fishing in style! Class Act Charters offers a year-round adventure for all of those who want a memorable day on the water. Your host and guide on this trip will be Captain Neal, from Gwynn's Island in Mathews County, Virginia. He has over 35 years of experience in the Chesapeake Bay, fishing both for pleasure and commercially. His knowledge of these waters is guaranteed to get you the fish you've always wanted.

You'll be fishing on a very spacious 43' Donelle boat. The capacity is limited to 6 guests, so everyone can fish in comfort. Newly restored in 2021, the boat features a 500 HP John Deere engine and modern navigational electronics. You can also enjoy an enclosed cabin, a galley, a private toilet, and take a nap if you get tired of fishing.

During your full day trip, you'll explore different fishing grounds, until you find the spot with the best action. Some of the species you can catch here are Sheepshead, Black Drum, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and many more. There are multiple techniques you can learn to catch these, just follow the captain's lead.

All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. This means that you only need to take care of your food and drinks. If you're taking your trip on a hot, sunny day, make sure to have your sun protection with you.

You're guaranteed to have a great time! Class Act Charters welcomes you aboard!

    Half Day Trip on July 25, 2026 • 5 adults

    There were 4 adults on this trip and we all caught fish, Spanish Mackeral, Spots, and a Peeler Crab that got released. Capt. Neal has a very well maintained and clean boat and he knows the Chesapeke Bay like the back of his hand. Our son and family live in Weems,Va and we visit them a couple times a year. We will defininately book with Capt. Neal and his boat the Class Act again. thanks Capt. Neal for the great time and putting us on the fish.

    Enjoyed a beautiful day on the water with a great captain. Even let my son play co-captain for a while. The captain was very knowledgeable on the water. He was also helpful about a few local places to checkout while we were visiting.

    Charter to Tangier Island on August 31, 2022 • 6 adults

    This is the best experience you can ever ask for! Neal is the absolute best Captain. He was wonderful with my entire family of four boys. All the boys had such a good time and loved talking with Neal, because they felt so comfortable with him. We could not have asked for a better day thanks to Neal!! You are the best Neal and we will be back many more times!!!!
