Shelton's Charter Fishing
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!

Jillian Flor5.0VerifiedAwesome trip in memory of our dads
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 15, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childI 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!
Bryan Upham5.0VerifiedBest charter! Trophy Red!
8 Hour Trip – Offshore Wreck on September 28, 2024 • 2 adultsWe couldn't recommend Captain Chuck and First Mate Mike more highly! They're both personable and professional. The boat is clean and fast. They work to ensure you have the best time possible. I asked for big fish, kind of joking, because who doesn't? Within two hours of leaving the dock, we had caught our limit of big black drum and my wife even caught a 48" "trophy/citation" red drum. We caught and released several more before heading back. Mike cleaned the keepers, and we must have ended up with 15 pounds of filets or more. Great guys. Will plan the 12 hour next time! Thanks Chuck and Mike!
Gregory HockadayRepeat angler5.0Verified2nd trip out
6 Hour Trip – Inshore on October 25, 2025 • 3 adultsThis 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.

6 Hour Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM on September 2, 2023 • 5 adults • 1 child
Chris Calaf5.0VerifiedFirst time fishing Virginia Beach and glad we picked Shelton’s Charter!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on August 14, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childChuck and his mate Colin were super knowledgeable and we had fish on minutes after the lines went down. A lot of expected Spanish Mackerel and a couple of blue but the height of the trip was pulling a 25/30 lbs Red Drum into the boat! My Wife and 10 year old had a blast catching fish and hearing about their tales when trolling. If we come back next summer, we will definitely book another trip with Chuck.
Kiah Green5.0VerifiedBest day ever!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:30 PM on June 30, 2024 • 6 adults5 of my friends and I went on Sheltons Carter fishing trip this past weekend and had the absolute best time! Captain Chuck was able to answer any questions I had beforehand and come the day of, couldn’t have been better. We caught fish, we laughed and couldn’t have rang in my birthday any other way. 10/10 highly recommended this charter!! We will definitely be back again!

Ronald Johnson5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Experience
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on October 6, 2024 • 5 adultsBooked a birthday trip with Captain Chuck and had a great time. Caught many huge fish, 1 being the biggest fish I ever caught. Him and the first mate were extreme knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Then got my massive fish cleaned and ready to eat! Been on many boats and this has been my favorite trip by far.
David Anderson5.0VerifiedThe Best!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:30 PM on October 26, 2024 • 3 adults • 2 childrenWe were early to arrive at the boat, but off we went for a longer trip. We caught many fish. Some were just a little too small so back in they went. We'll catch them next time! Captain and First Mate were awesome. We will definitely be multi repeat customers!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 14, 2024 • 3 adultsMy family had the best time on this charter!!! We came aboard as customers and left feeling like family. This was perfect for my 13 year old who pulled in a record number of Mack’s in about an hour. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend!!!
