Virginia Beach has a fish with your name on it, so let Shelton's Charter Fishing help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Chuck, bringing aboard years of professional experience.

Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, King Mackerel, Black Seabass, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Tautog, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Your adventure begins aboard a 32' Albemarle convertible with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Shelton's Charter Fishing!

Awesome trip in memory of our dads
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 15, 20253 adults1 child
I took my girls, 9 and 15, out for Father’s Day since we lost their dad almost two years ago. He loved to take them fishing and they hadn’t caught a fish since. The fish really weren’t biting today, but they each managed to reel one in and it was a memory we’ll cherish forever. Captain Chuck let my youngest come up on the bridge to watch for dolphins and talk his ear off. And the first mate chatted with my oldest and I about everything under the sun. We had an awesome time out on the water and definitely plan to book a future trip again. Thanks so much for helping us remember old times and create new memories too!

2nd trip out
6 Hour Trip – Inshore on October 25, 20253 adults
This was my 2nd trip out with Capt. Chuck. I took my father in law on his first offshore trip and had high expectations and wishes. Captain Chuck did more than just deliver those, he exceeded them, by far. He put us on fish everywhere we went and we were reeling them in all day long. I will definitely be back for a 3rd trip and highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Captain and 1st mate Dave for one hell of a memorable trip.

Great experience
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on September 13, 20254 adults
super knowledgeable and friendly Captain and 1st mate. the Captain Chuck was extremely communicative and kept us updated on weather, and even offered to push the charter 1 day. We were unable to move the charter date due to heading home, so Chuck made sure we had the best experience possible despite the rougher seas. 100% will book with them again.

Great day on the water!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:30 PM on July 8, 20252 adults3 children
Booked a trip for our boys birthday present and it was awesome. Capital Chuck was very accommodating with our 3 boys, none of them had been on an ocean fishing trip before. Both Chuck and mate Conner where great answering all our boys questions and worked hard to get them on the fish. Would highly recommend Captain Chuck!
