  A break in the weather led to great fishing

  4 hour trip- Captain's choice on August 20, 2026 • 3 adults

  Our very experienced local captain put us on fish from the get go. I wanted a different species initially and he was honest that they were no longer actively biting. He switched between methods, gear and location which treated us to an outstanding experience. My advice, lean into his knowledge unless you are willing to come up empty handed. He was great about how things worked and without a first mate handled all the baiting and bringing fish on board. Busy guy made it look easy! Thanks Capt Dan. Can't wait to go again. Also loved having the whole boat just to our group, no strangers or shenanigans.

  Captain Bull is the best!

  2 Hour Trip –Kids Bottom Fishing on August 12, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Bull is so enthusiastic and friendly. And so skilled! We had our five year old who got blue fish and spanish Mackerel. 10 total in a little over 2 hours. It was his very first fishing experience and he did not realize the help he got. Incidentally the trip was supposed to be for 2 hours, but we noticed afterwards that Captain Bull kept us longer in his desire to make everyone happy and please the kids. We did catch and release. It was also most interesting to learn about the Bay and know where we were. We can't wait to do it again. Definitely the highlight of everyone's trip to the Northern Neck!

  Amazing Experience

  6 hour trip- Captain's choice on August 15, 2026 • 4 adults

  Absolutely Amazing Fishing Trip! 🎣 We had an incredible time out on the water with Captain Bull! He was awesome from start to finish and made the whole trip a blast. We are absolutely stoked with the Spanish mackerel we caught and couldn’t have asked for a better day of fishing. Captain Bull knew exactly where to put us on the fish, was great to hang out with, and made the entire experience one we won’t forget. If you’re looking for an awesome fishing trip, we highly recommend Captain Bull! 🎣🔥 Already looking forward to the next trip!

  We can’t wait to come back!

  4 hour trip- Captain's choice on July 1, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had an awesome day with Tip Sea Charter! Captain Bull was great—super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and worked hard to put us on fish all day. He made the trip fun while teaching us about the area and fishing along the way. Charley was outstanding with my boys. He took the time to answer their questions and showed them how to fillet the fish we caught. They loved it, and it’s something they’ll remember for a long time. It’s not every day you find a crew that takes that extra time with kids. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing trip with people who genuinely care about making your day special, I highly recommend Tip Sea Charter. We had a great time, caught plenty of fish, and made memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to come back!

  You guys were a blast! But I think we have to give most the credit to the Fresh Prince for saving the day 🤣 😉

  Fantastic fishing trip!

  4 hour trip- Captain's choice on June 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  My husband, mother in law, and 8 year old daughter went out with Captain Bull and his first mate Charlie. Some of my party was concerned about being sea sick and Captain Bull reassured us he’d keep us in calm waters-no one was sea sick! We had a wonderful time! Captain Bull tells great stories and super kind to my daughter, helping her to catch LOTS of fish! First mate Charlie was amazingly helpful getting fish off and making sure we always had bait on our hooks. He also cleaned all 38 of our fish for us even though it was brutally hot. I would 10/10 recommend Tip Sea to anyone looking for a great fishing or historical boat tour!

  Emily, thank you so much for your kind words, but my stories are nothing compared to your daughter's story writing abilities! Have a great trip and hope to see you guys again soon. (For anyone else reading this review, Emily's daughter Hannah, the amazing story she wrote me will be in my dry box on the boat if anyone would like to read it.)
