Our recent family fishing charter was an absolute highlight of our trip, thanks to the incredible team of Captain Andrew and First Mate Garrett. From start to finish, they guided us through a day packed with fun, learning, and plenty of fresh seafood!

Captain Andrew and Garrett were both incredibly knowledgeable and patient, especially with our 4-year-old son. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the entire day.

One of the most unique and enjoyable parts of our charter was the time we spent on the sandbar digging for clams. They even thoughtfully provided socks for my husband, our sons, and me, which was a huge plus and made the experience even more comfortable. Our little guy (4yo) had an absolute blast exploring the sandbar, happily discovering periwinkles and hermit crabs – it was truly magical to watch his excitement.

After our sandbar adventure, we moved on to fishing, and then had the added bonus of picking up crabs from their crab pots. Our haul was fantastic: two large buckets brimming with fresh clams and about 25 crabs!

Beyond the incredible experience on the water, Andrew and Garrett went above and beyond by providing invaluable advice on how to cook and process our catch so we could bring it all the way back to Pennsylvania to share with our family. This thoughtful touch truly made our charter an all-inclusive and memorable experience.

We highly recommend this family fishing charter package to anyone looking for a fun, educational, and delicious day out on the water. Andrew and Garrett are a fantastic team, and we can’t wait to book with them again!

We had a wonderful time on Fish Tales with Captain Chris. Started off catching lots of spot, getting the hang of things as amateur fishermen! Next, he took us past the wild ponies and out closer to the ocean to fish for whiting and croaker. As soon as we cast out, my husband (who has never fished before) snagged a HUGE red drum. Captain Chris helped us chase the fish down and after a good run my husband was able to get him all the way up. What an amazing memory! We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Pete’s Fish Tales! My 10-year-old son and I had a blast fishing for flounder—we caught several, took a couple home, and learned a lot along the way. The captain was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and memorable. Being out on the water near Chincoteague was beautiful, and spotting dolphins made it even more special. Highly recommend this charter for a great family-friendly fishing adventure!

Th fishing was a little slow , but we caught a few fish . Tide and temperature are key factors, and it is after all , fishing …
Had a great time , Capt. and crew were knowledgeable , friendly and engaging .
Capt. Andrew put us up close to a bunch of dolphins, which was one of the highlights of the trip .

We had a great day with Chris leading the way. Unfortunately, we chose a little late in the season for shark fishing, but Chris was great working with me and my boys. He answered my son’s many questions, pointed us in the right direction for tackle, food, and other fishing spots from shore. The fishing was slow, but my son was ecstatic to land a Dusky shark with only a few minutes left in our trip. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend Fish Tales and Chris to anyone. We will definitely come back, hopefully soon, and earlier in the season. Thank you for a wonderful day on the water!
