Four Winds Chartering runs the most fun and exciting fishing adventures in the beautiful city of Hampton, Virginia. They make each trip enjoyable and a learning experience for their guests, by going straight to the best fishing spots and giving sound advice on how to catch and reel in the fish. This is what they will do with you!

You will fish aboard a 44’ Evans saltwater fishing boat, which is powered by two 225 HP Cummins engines. The boat is safe and reliable, being equipped with all the safety equipment and electronics you need for a successful trip. It has a flybridge and a toilet, which is an absolute must-have if you are taking kids out on the water.

These waters are brimming with life, so there’s a variety of fish species you can expect to come across. You will target Striped Bass, Spotted Seatrout, the super tasty Flounder, Triggerfish, Black Drum, and other exciting species that call these waters home.

The boat is owned by Captain John O’Neal who has been fishing these waters from an early age and is familiar with all the productive spots in the area. He will provide you with rods, reels, tackle, lures, and a fishing license, so all you have to bring is a positive attitude and sunglasses.

In the words of Captain John: “Quit wishing – let’s go fishing”! Join Four Winds Chartering and have some serious fun! Since 1961.

Captain John and Tim

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 20, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

Captain John and Tim took great care of us today on a last minute inshore charter. Boat was spacious and well taken care of. Tim made sure everyone had turns reeling in fish and John was awesome making sure my daughter was as comfortable as possible while feeling a bit green. She was able to rally and finish the trip in great spirits. This team showed a great amount of professionalism and excitement even in relatively tough conditions. Everyone had a great time and the only complaint was that we didn’t book a full day. My bad. I’ll definitely book with these guys again. Thanks guys!

Great family trip

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 22, 2025 • 5 adults • 6 children

Four Winds Charter was perfect for our big family. They were so family oriented and laid back which is just what we need with 7 kids under the age of 13 coming on the trip! We booked a 4 hour charter and caught so many croakers. The captain handled the younger kids so well. Right off the bat we saw dolphins and capt John picked up the 5 year old to set him up on his seat to have a better view. The mates on the boat worked hard and kept everyone set up the whole time. Would definitely recommend this crew!

Awesome Trip!

3 Hour Kids Trip (PM) on July 17, 2025 • 4 adults • 3 children

We had a great time with Captain John and Tim! We had 4 adults with 3 kids ages 9, 12 & 14 and had plenty of room and everyone caught something. We did some bottom fishing and trolling for some bigger fish. The crew was patient and flexible- bringing us out for a great 3 hour trip! We Highly recommend them for a fabulous family fishing trip! We'll be back for sure! Thanks Captain John! See you next time!

2 Hour – Sunset and Fishing Cruise on June 21, 2025 • 8 adults

My family and I were pleasantly impressed with Captain John and Tim’s experience as we embarked on our scheduled trip. They kept us laughing and took care of us the whole way through. They had even sparked a greater interest in fishing for a few of us! They have our utmost respect and appreciation. Highly recommend them to fellow anglers!

Great trip

3/4 Day Trip on June 7, 2025 • 8 adults

It was a tough day on the water but definitely not the Captain or Crew's fault. We did catch some fish! Definitely had a new experience with targeting Cobia. Trolled for Spanish Mackerel and Blues as well. All in all the crew were knowledgeable the boat was clean, fast and comfortable. Thanks for a great time with family and friends.
