Knot Wish’n Custom Charters is an inshore light tackle specialist guide service operating out of Virginia Beach, VA. Climb aboard for a fun-filled, affordable fishing trip with a friendly atmosphere and an experienced guide.

Your boat for the day will be a 23’ Parker center console. This sturdy vessel is perfect for family groups thanks to her high sides and makes for a stable ride both at speed and when fishing. She has room aboard for up to six guests, so bring all your friends and family along!

The boat has GPS, a fishfinder, and Captain Todd Beck’s three decades of local knowledge guiding you to the best spots.

Capt. Todd specializes in short, family-friendly charters going after tasty fish like Trout, Redfish, and Spanish Mackerel. If you’re looking for something more hard-hitting, just let him know. You can target Cobia, Bull Redfish, and King Mackerel depending on the season.

Whatever you’re after, Knot Wish’n Custom Charters are, well, custom! You can choose what you want for your day. And with three different starting times, you can also choose when you go. Just bring your food, drinks, and any other personal items, and get ready for a great fishing trip.

4 Hour Trip – Ocean (AM) on July 9, 2025

Todd is a great captain. We would have had a great time even if we did not catch anything. But, he was able to find us some fish even in tough wind conditions. On top of a1/2 dozen mackerel, we caught about a dozen blue fiah. From the radio traffic, it sounded like we did better than any other boat out that day. I would definitely book this trip again and would recommend it to my friends and family.

4 Hour Trip – Ocean (AM) on June 14, 2025

Captain Todd was fantastic—funny, personable, and genuinely passionate about making the trip enjoyable. He took the time to explain the tackle and techniques, ensuring we understood exactly what we were looking for. Despite the weather and the fish not quite cooperating, he went the extra mile to make sure we still had a great time and caught something. Absolutely worth every penny, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!

2 Hr Ocean Trip AM on July 8, 2025

Had a great experience. Took 4 young teenage boys...inexpierienced, easily bored, and not super interested. Our captian was very knowledgeable, personable, and made this a trip of a lifetime. All the boys had a great time, caught lots of fish, and seen a lot of dolphin, too. Thanks for a great time. Would highly recommend!

Great Guide

VERIFIED

3 Hour Trip – Rudee Inlet (AM) on March 19, 2025

Capt. Todd is the kind of guide you appreciate. Professional, thoughtful, and ready to make suggestions. He knew where the fish would be. We caught 3 fish and had some bites. It was cold weather, so the fish weren't as active, but that's the chance you take. It was a lovely morning none the less. When it is on the cooler side I recommend an afternoon trip.

Father son trip

VERIFIED

3 Hour Trip – Rudee Inlet (PM) on March 22, 2025

Booked Todd after a last minute change of plans for a father and son trip. We had a blast. Even though it was windy, Todd was able to help us have a great time on the water and we even managed to reel in some decent sized fish. With Todd’s instructions, my son was casting like a pro in no time. I would highly recommend Todd.
