Double Play Sportfishing brings you right to the center of the action! Join Captain Keith, who’s been fishing the waters of Virginia Beach for over 25 years. His trips are available year-round and anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join. The trips are also family-friendly, so you can bring your little ones and watch them as they catch their very first fish!

It all starts on a 25’ Pursuit that accommodates up to 6 guests. This saltwater fishing boat is powered by a 300 HP Marine power engine and reaches the speed of 25 knots. The boat is very comfortable, even for extended adventures. You’ll find a private toilet, a galley, a bed, and a cooler, so the whole experience is much more enjoyable.

There’s a variety of fishing adventures to choose from and it all depends on what you want to catch and how far you want to go. Inshore and nearshore spots can take you after Spanish Mackerel, Ribbonfish, Seabass, Tautog, Shark, Ribbonfish, Cobia, Drum, Bluefish, and Spadefish, while offshore spots bring Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and Billfish to the mix.

All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. You only need to bring your sun protection, food, and drinks. After the trip, your captain will also clean your catch and fillet it for you free of charge.

Double Play Sportfishing invites you to join them on their next fishing adventure. Just pick the date and see you at the dock!
