Virginia Beach Deep Sea Fishing Charters
Wreck Fishing for Deep Sea Species With Kraken Charters
The waters around Virginia Beach is a haven for deep sea anglers. In fact, it provides the best saltwater fishing of all the mid-Atlantic fishing spots. Deep Sea fishing or wreck fishing as it is sometimes called, is fishing the historic shipwrecks off the coast of Virginia Beach. If your a history buff we can chat about these shipwrecks and even tell you their present day condition as Capt. Tom has been Scuba Diving on most of the shipwrecks here.
What Will We Catch?
A Variety Of Species & Tactics
Deep Sea fishing is mostly done through bottom fishing using double or triple rigs. Sometimes we also incorporate slow pitch jigging into the mix if you want to try your hand at a more advanced technique. Popular species landed while Deep Sea fishing from Virginia Beach include Black Sea Bass, Flounder, Tautog, Triggerfish, Amberjacks, Spadefish and mahi.
Spring & Summer Fishing In Virginia Beach
Early spring include flounder, sea bass, and tautog out on the shipwrecks for deep sea fishing. In late spring, huge schools of Atlantic spadefish can be found in the Bay and at the Chesapeake Light Tower. These beautiful fish can be tricky to catch because of their small mouths, but they put up an admirable battle once hooked. Because of their sheer numbers, spadefish are great targets for beginners. Dolphin fish or Mahi begin showing up mid-summer, especially around towers.
Fall & Winter Fishing In Virginia Beach
This is also a great time on the shipwrecks for Black Sea bass and tautog. Mid to late November all the way through to January is Bluefin Tuna season. Sometimes these guys can be as close as 3mi from the beach. When fishing in the winter, it’s all about the rockfish, tautog, speckled trout and puppy drum inshore.
Where Do We Fish?
The best Deep Sea Fishing spots in Virginia Beach are twenty+ miles from port around bottom structure like man made reefs and shipwrecks, which means a little boat ride. That’s just one reason why it’s so important to find the best Virginia Beach fishing guides and charter boats. You’ll want a fishing boat that’s comfortable and an experienced captain and crew so that your friends and family have a safe and enjoyable experience. At Kraken Charters safety is our main concern and we strive to be one of the best Virginia Beach fishing charters and fishing guides.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Do You Provide?
We provide all the necessary tackle, fishing rods, bait, ice and cooler for your catch. Most importantly we provide some of the best fishing mates in Virginia Beach. These mates work hard and work for tips so be sure to take care of them, 20% is customary.
What Do We Need To Bring?
You should bring clothing appropriate for the season. In the summer shorts and t-shirts is fine but in the winter you will want a hat, coat and maybe even some gloves. We always highly recommend that you bring rain gear as you never know when a storm can pop-up. While we do have a cabin to stay dry in, you can't fish from in there. You will also want to bring plenty of water, snacks and/or food. A soft sided cooler is preferred for this so we can store it properly. Also don't forget sunscreen but please no spray sunscreen as it turns the boat pink! We recommend children under 90lbs bring their own lifejacket as availability is limited.
Can We Keep The Fish?
Yes, you get to keep your catch as long as it falls within the regulations for the particular species we are fishing for. We do our best to protect the oceans and practice ethical and sustainable harvesting so keep what you need and throw back what you don't.
