Please join us for a fun afternoon on the water in Virginia Beach! Beat the heat with the ocean breeze and beautiful scenery. Who knows - maybe we will even spot some dolphins!
This has got to be the most trouble-free fishing trip ever! They provide the boat, the rods, the reels, the bait, the buckets, and the fishing license; we provide the peeps!
Our 4-hour cruise will depart at 1 pm.
$30 per adult
$20 per child under 12
Their staff will measure what you catch, and you keep all legal catches. (There is an extra charge for cleaning the fish for you.)
Enter the biggest catch contest if you are feeling lucky!
Water and chips for sale on boat - or bring your own picnic lunch and beverages. Cans are preferred to bottles for safety reasons.
ALL ARE WELCOME - bring a friend! Come be a part of some hilarious fishing stories!!! |
