miles out so that you won't lose sight of the shore.
Even if you have never held a fishing rod in your life, you won't have to worry about anything but having fun. And if you are a seasoned angler who is looking for a big catch, Capt. Ryan will cater to your specific needs. Everyone is welcome aboard. The company is family-friendly, so feel free to bring your children with you.

The trips can begin as early as 7 in the morning or later in the afternoon if you're not an early bird. You will be checking the bite for anything from Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish to Blacktip Shark. There is also a good chance to hook into Kingfish, Cobia, and Barracuda, as well as large Redfish and Black Seabass.
Fugitive Fishing Charters will take you out aboard a 33' Morgan offshore sport fishing boat. Built in 1987, this legendary vessel can comfortably accommodate up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style.
The boat comes powered by a 375 HP Caterpillar engine and can cruise at a top speed of 20 knots. It is fully outfitted with modern navigational and fish finding electronics, technologies, and professional equipment. There is also a flybridge to admire the view and spot any action going on beneath the surface. The boat has a toilet for your maximum comfort and a bed to take a nap in between bites.
All trips come with quality gear and tackle by Penn and Shimano, as well as bait, lures, and fishing licenses. First Mate will be able to clean your catch for a 20% tip.

Christina Wertz•
Virginia, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedWent for fishing trip, ended as a catching trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenThis fishing trip could not have been better. We hauled in 40 Spanish mackerel and three small sharks. the captain and TJ were incredible and lots of fun to be around. We had a four-hour time slot and there were times where we were only sitting down for only a minute or two because we would have another pole active. I would not have changed a thing. Will be using them again next year when we come back.
Monica OsborneRepeat angler•Virginia, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 16, 2026 • 6 adultsWhat a fun and successful fishing trip! Excitment right off the bat! Biggest mackerel we’ve ever caught or seen for that matter! Ryan and TJ kept us laughing and both worked really hard to get us on the fish. We walked away with a nice, plump bag of fish filets and happy teenagers so definitely a win, in my book. Highly recommend and we’ll be back soon!
Cameron Nelson•Virginia, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat trip with a great crew!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 21, 2026 • 6 adultsWe caught a bunch of Spanish mackerel, a hammerhead shark, and a needlefish! The captain and mate were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a great time! They were both so nice and personable—they joked and laughed with us, but also made sure we were safe throughout the entire trip.

Dane Pedersen•North Carolina, USMember since 20235.0VerifiedFirst charter
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 29, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe have been planning a charter trip for three summers and they all three have been canceled to do weather. I booked this trip with my fingers crossed. As soon as we arrived they felt like old friends. They were easy to talk to and easy to be around, not like we were strangers on their boat. They made fishing fun, put us on the fish and made sure we knew when to reel them in. They taught us a lot about the area we were in, so that was nice. I became sea sick - really puked all down the side of his boat multiple times and the captain was extremely helpful. Of course they all gave me heck because the water was the calmest it ever could have been, but somebody had to be the one. I really don’t have anything to say about this crew the boat or the trip. I will def book them again and again.

Captain Ron and first mate TJ were great. It was a very slow day, only hauled in three fish and one shark but they kept trying and circling to try to find them while communicating with other boats who were experiencing similar problems. Very knowledgeable of the history of the area and coastal geography and even though we had four restless kids with not a lot of fish, it was still a great experience. Super friendly and accommodating.
