Tristin Sellers5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 28, 2024 • 5 adultsBooked a trip for my buddies bachelor party. Captain Robbie was extremely accommodating for my friends and I. We had 5 people and there was plenty of space for us to sit or stand. There is also some shade on the boat which is a huge plus. As soon as we dropped our lines we started catching massive red drum all of us caught citations. Captain Robbie is a great guy and makes the whole experience very fun, I will definitely book again. If you’re looking for a fishing charter look no further. Book a trip
Kimberly Rollins5.0VerifiedExcellent trip and lots of fish!
Huge Red Drum on October 13, 2024 • 4 adultsCaptain Robbie knew exactly where our fish would bite. He helped make sure each one of us reeled in a big drum. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. It was a great time had by all. My son is already talking about our next charter with Captain Robbie! We brought home 7 big reds (up to 27 inches) and 1 blue. We also caught several that were 28-31 inches but had to throw them back due to size.
Danica MurphyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedExcellent trip
3/4 Day Trip on May 31, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 childrenCaptain Robbie and Grayson were amazing! We took our boys fishing to celebrate a birthday. They did everything they could to put our kids on fish and were so kind and helpful to them. Can't thank them enough for an excellent day on the water!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 23, 2025 • 2 adultsGreat 4hr charter with Capt Robbie. He put us on quality fish right from the start and we made our limits of very nice redfish. He and the crew are great to fish with. im a repeat customer, with good reason!
Joe Holsberger4.3VerifiedToo cloudy
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 5, 2025 • 3 adultsIt was too cloudy for a good day catching Cobia. But my son did catch a keeper when the sun did peak through the clouds. The Captain went out of his way trying to get us hooked up again but no luck. Grayson his 1st mate was super. We had the fish for dinner and it was really good. Thanks you guys for making it a very special time with my son's.
Jordan KrauseRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFish were caught
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 6, 2024 • 6 adultsI booked this charter for a bachelor trip of 6, which is a very large group for a charter this size. We ALL caught fish and Robbie delivered. Nathan, the deck mate did a great job in making sure all of our needs were met through the day. I would highly reccomend!
Spencer Taylor5.0VerifiedGreat time!

Full day trip
Meat haul!!! – Wreck Fishing on June 5, 2023 • 2 adultsWe went forty miles off shore. Robbie and his mate, Kenny really put us on the fish!! They were very knowledgeable of what fish we were catching and told us exactly how to catch them. I've been on more than ten trips of this kind and this was by far the best ever. I will be calling Captain Robbie again
Amanda Guetter5.0VerifiedHalf day with Robbie
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 2, 2021 • 3 adults • 2 childrenRobbie and his first mate did an impeccable job at making our half day fishing experience memorable. From the start we had a bit of Trouble locating the boat area but Robbie was great and kind when giving us directions. They asked our names right and and engaged with all of us. They were both friendly and easy going. Willing to answer questions and share their knowledge. Boat was clean and had all needed safety equipment. My children were (11) and (8) and both agreed this was best part of our trip to VA Beach! Thanks guys!!

One of the best sea bass trips we been on Capt .Robbie was excellent put us on fishing all day we limited out .
I went in a 8hr near/inshore trip. The bait equipment and cree were great just had a tough time getting fish to bite. Of the time spent on water about 6 hours was driving for sight fishing or getting to and from the boat dock. Beyond that not much trolling happened and we bottom fished for alittle more than 1 hour. A total of 3 fish were caught,Spanish mackerel, cobia and Red drum. For a total rod in hand time of about 2 minutes. I would have liked to have more time with my hands on the pole weather throwing lures. Bottom fishing or free lining live bait.

Capt. Robbie delivers again. A great day of fishing with 4 "bull reds" and 10 Cobia - including 2 citation reds and 1 citation cobia (51 inches). While we caught 10 (an amazing day by any standard), the cobia were a bit finicky, having spotted more the 2 dozen that didn't seem interested. But Robbie and mate (Nathan) delivered with spot casting and expert jigging to get hooked up! The trip was excellent, and I highly recommend this Capt. Robbie to everyone.

Your captain
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
Robbie Bryan is an enthusiastic captain. He was raised in Virginia Beach and knows the local waters like the back of his hand. Robbie is familiar with the methods that work best to make a great catch possible and knows where the fish are hiding. The captain specializes in fishing the bay and the offshore wrecks. He enjoys sharing his passion for the ocean and the vast knowledge with his clients and friends. I love going out and loading the boat with yellow fins, dolphins, and tile fish. Book me and I promise to load the box full.
