Fintimidator Sportfishing is a great choice for fishing in the stunning waters of Hampton and surrounding areas. Your guide for the day is Captain Melvin, bringing aboard a lifetime of fishing experience.

These waters hold game fish like Cobia, Sheepshead, Tautog, Black/Red Drum, Bluefish, Spanish Mackeral more, depending on the season. For these species, you’re likely sight fish, troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

Trips with Fintimidator Sportfishing are open to the whole family, so go ahead and bring the family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You’ll be welcome aboard a 25 ft proline walkaround that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Melvin will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Fintimidator Sportfishing.

First fishing trip ever — an unforgettable experience!
Special - 1:00 PM on June 11, 20264 adults
The experience was truly unforgettable. The captain was very friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. We caught quite a few fish, which we shared at the end of the trip. We gave them to a couple of American friends, and it was a real pleasure. My son even caught a stingray, which we carefully released back into the water. The whole family had a wonderful time and was full of joy throughout the trip. We would happily do it again and highly recommend this experience!

First trip, I will be coming back
Sunset fishing on May 23, 20262 adults1 child
Easy to book and make changes, Cpt Melvin kept the whole group engaged (I brought my 7yo). Went to a few different spots in the bay each spot was productive. I really wanted to catch a whiting/mullet, my girlfriend and I both caught one. Even pulled up a crab pot that was choked full of crabs and he explained how to Best prepare those, I can’t wait to have our own caught “low country” boil for supper tonight.
