You may qualify for a Loyalty Program discount with ReelBlessed Sportfishing Charters. To check if you can use a Loyalty Program discount for your selected dates, please sign in.

Book your next trip with Reelblessed Sportfishing Charters and find out what makes the fishing in Hampton so unique. Captain Richard will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of sportfishing experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Tautog, Spadefish, Spanish Mackerel, Bull Shark, Redfish, Gray Triggerfish, Sheepshead, Cobia, Blacktip Shark, and plenty more.

For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there’s bowfishing.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites for a boost of energy when needed!

You’ll be casting lines from a 27’ Sportcraft Sportfishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials. There’s a private toilet on board for your convenience.

Capt. Richard has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It’s recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Reelblessed Sportfishing Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Hampton. So, how about booking that trip?

4 hour shark fishing (4 person max)

Great Time Fishing with Richard and Houston!

VERIFIED

First catch and release shark adventure for 3 of the 4 of us this afternoon. The sunset views alone were worth every minute... nothing short of God's handiwork. Each of our teenagers caught about 20 small fish, then each reeled in a 3-4' shark...mom reeled in the “biggest” of the day (3-10'...depending on who you ask)! Just about to pull in for the night and dad caught a shark to close out the day. It was intense and crazy fun. Can't wait to visit Hampton soon to book an early morning or overnight adventure!! 10 out of 10 recommend ReelBlessed Charter with Captain Richard and Firstmate Houston. They kept us safe, and taught us alot more about these beautiful animals than how to reel them in!

4 hour shark fishing (4 person max)

No show sharks, no problem

VERIFIED

Great communication and hard work weren't enough to make the sharks appear, but capt Richard and crew worked their butts off trying to get us on the fish. We had to change up the time due to forecast, but we were able to get out and catch a few fish despite the sharks' lack of cooperation. The controllable things were professionally handled--safety and comfort were priority, and the knowledge and efforts put forth were most appreciated. Sometimes the first thing you try works, sometimes not. What makes a difference is how you handle the initial failures and the willingness to alter the approach. Capt Richard blended patience with urgency really well, and the result was a great experience. My son, called Ray Ray after this trip, will be stationed in Norfolk for the next 4 years so we will be back and will book again. Thank you for a great evening! I am sure Ray Ray and his crew will book on their own too!

3 Hour Trip – Sunset

🎣 Absolutely Incredible Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

VERIFIED

We had the BEST time with ReelBlessed Fishing Charter! This was my 4-year-old daughter’s very first fishing trip, and Captain Richard and First Mate Houston went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. They were kind, patient, and made sure she felt comfortable the whole time – even playing Disney music to calm her nerves! Not only did she have a blast, but with their help, she also hooked the most fish out of all of us! It was such a joy watching her light up with excitement and confidence thanks to their support and enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly charter with a crew that truly cares, this is it. 10/10 recommend – we’ll definitely be back! 🎣💙

3 Hour Trip – Sunset

Unforgettable Sunset Fishing Trip for the Whole Family!

VERIFIED

We had an amazing experience with Reel Blessed! As a family of four with two young boys (ages 6 and 8), we couldn’t have asked for a better fishing charter. Captain Richard and first mate JJ were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and great with kids. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the captain was thoughtful about where to anchor, especially since I’m prone to seasickness—he made sure I was comfortable the whole time. We’re novice fishers, but Captain Richard and JJ took the time to teach our boys how to cast, reel, and handle the fish like pros. They felt so proud and confident, and the time just flew by. By the end of the 3-hour sunset charter, the kids had caught six fish and were already asking when we could go again! We also loved the option to connect our own music via Bluetooth—it added such a fun and relaxed vibe to the whole trip. Captain Richard was also mindful of the weather and made great recommendations to keep our experience safe and enjoyable. We highly recommend Reel Blessed for a family-friendly, fun-filled fishing adventure. We’ll definitely be back!

Bayside Reef Fishing (4 peop (copy)

Great experience!

VERIFIED

We went out for my son’s 9th birthday and these guys made it a super fun experience for him and all of us. They even gave him his new favorite nickname name, “Wild Man Willy.” We went out for a 4 hour trip and wished we had booked an all day trip instead. These guys are full of knowledge and work hard to make sure you catch some fish. We are definitely going to book again, probably for a shark trip because “Wild Man Willy” wants to try a reel in something that big. I highly recommend booking a trip with Reel Blessed.
