Tip-Sea Charters at Windmill Point
Tip-Sea Charters at Windmill Point
If you're ready to get hooked on fishing in the Northern Neck, look no further than Tip-Sea Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Daniel 'Bull' Kurdziel can tell you all about the local fishery.
Species like Cobia, Striped Bass, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, Bluefish, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go. On these trips, you can expect to troll, cast, and bottom fish.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Child-sized life vests are available, but you are welcome to bring your own.
The fishing machine is a 25' Parker Sport Cabin pilothouse with a capacity for 4 anglers equipped for Cobia, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, redfish, (puppy drum) speckled trout, and rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures and live bait.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now's the time to experience fishing in the Northern Neck for yourself, with Tip-Sea Charters!

We had an awesome day with Tip Sea Charter! Captain Bull was great—super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and worked hard to put us on fish all day. He made the trip fun while teaching us about the area and fishing along the way. Charley was outstanding with my boys. He took the time to answer their questions and showed them how to fillet the fish we caught. They loved it, and it’s something they’ll remember for a long time. It’s not every day you find a crew that takes that extra time with kids. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip with people who genuinely care about making your day special, I highly recommend Tip Sea Charter. We had a great time, caught plenty of fish, and made memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to come back!
You guys were a blast! But I think we have to give most the credit to the Fresh Prince for saving the day 🤣 😉
My husband, mother in law, and 8 year old daughter went out with Captain Bull and his first mate Charlie. Some of my party was concerned about being sea sick and Captain Bull reassured us he’d keep us in calm waters-no one was sea sick! We had a wonderful time! Captain Bull tells great stories and super kind to my daughter, helping her to catch LOTS of fish! First mate Charlie was amazingly helpful getting fish off and making sure we always had bait on our hooks. He also cleaned all 38 of our fish for us even though it was brutally hot. I would 10/10 recommend Tip Sea to anyone looking for a great fishing or historical boat tour!
Emily, thank you so much for your kind words, but my stories are nothing compared to your daughter's story writing abilities! Have a great trip and hope to see you guys again soon. (For anyone else reading this review, Emily's daughter Hannah, the amazing story she wrote me will be in my dry box on the boat if anyone would like to read it.)
We had a blast with Captain Bull and his mate Charlie! They were professional, fun, and great educators. The first part of our trip they put us on a few cobia, but as the fish gods would have it none stayed buttoned up. After that we quickly transitioned to trolling for mackerel and bluefish. We caught a bunch of fish for the table and Charlie sent us home with some very clean filets. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fish catching and entertainment on the water.
We have booked many charters, but this was hands down the best fishing charter experience we’ve ever had! Captain Bull and Charlie are knowledgeable, professional, and made the trip fun from start to finish. We caught 3 cobia within 45 minutes! Captain Bull is definitely the perfect hypeman as youre reeling in your catch! This trip is one we won’t forget. Highly recommend Captain Bull and Charlie for anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water!
Have done many fishing charters and this was the best! My grandsons had an amazing time. Caught lots of fish. Captain Bull and Charlie were awesome. Actually took the time to teach the boys some fishing techniques and gave them tips. Was the ideal charter experience. Can’t wait to have them take us out fishing next year when we are here again on vacation. Highly recommend Tip-Sea. Would give them 6 stars if I could!
