Absolutely Outstanding!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)5 adults

Absolutely outstanding experience. Weather was a little challenging and the Captain and First Mate still got us on fish! Very technically competent, extremely personable, and tremendous ship. Highly Highly recommend this veteran owned bussiness. Since we live here, we will be going back to them repeatedly for all our future trips. Jayz Long Local Guide·67 reviews a week ago New Rocky is a great guy and a great captain. 1st mate Carter really takes care of the fishermen. Great trip. Captain tried every trick in the book to get us on some fish 🐟. We will definitely book again. Ashley Huffman 1 review a week ago New Best fishing trip we have had in Virginia Beach so far. Crew was very personable and actually cared if we caught fish and had a great experience. The boat was top tier and very clean. They were very determined to give us the best trip … More steven yarber Highly Highly recommend this veteran owned bussiness. Since we live here, we will be going back to them repeatedly for all our future trips.

Response from Captain

Thank we really try to go above and beyond for everyone. Safety is number 1 and then boat readiness. I truly wish we could go out and catch a ton of fish every trip, but this is fishing not catching. We value everyone and know everyone has different needs. Again thank you Looking forward to future trips with you.

    Surprise for nephew did not disappoint!

    4 hr Trolling only - 12:00 PM • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had perfect weather and caught a bunch of blues and mackerel, as well as an impressive looking houndfish. The captain tried diligently to bring us a red drum to impress my nephew, but they were elusive that day. He was thrilled with the experience, as was my niece (his mom), and we had a great afternoon! First Mate Bulldog was very attentive, friendly, and fun and provided great information about how everything worked in the trolling setup, as well as the fish-cleaning technique back at the pier. Captain Rocky showed my nephew how the navigation and fish finder equipment worked, which he loved, and gave us a smooth ride to all the 'spots'. Highly recommend this boat and crew!

    Captain Rocky finds the fish!!!

    6 Hour Trip – Troll / Sight Fishing • 2 adults

    We got 30 mackerel despite having to turn around and drop off a seasick landlubber. Rocky and crew have your back no matter the experience level and the boat is very wide and stable. We stayed inshore but I’m sure he does great on the open ocean too! Flawless!

    Absolutely Great Trip & Good Vibes

    4 hr Trolling only - 4:00 PM • 5 adults

    My 16 year old son could stop talking about how much of a great time he had and how the crew was extremely nice and helpful. 'My son said mom you know I don't like talk but the crew was easy to talk too" I would definitely recommend them.
