Dolphins can typically be found all over the Chesapeake Bay. The will chase the schools of bait fish for their next meal. Popular places to find Dolphins in Virginia Beach are Cape Henry Light house area, Chesapeake Bay bridge Tunnel area and the Little Creek Inlet area. Whales off Virginia Beach can be found at the mouth of the bay and along the ocean front. Whales are a bit trickier to locate so it does take some searching but it is well worth it!
Tom and Kim did such an amazing job giving us the best sunset cruise we could’ve asked for. I would hands down recommend them. Can’t wait to do a fishing charter with them.
SAFE OPERATION! GREAT SERVICE! Capt. Tom and crew were very professional and accommodating resulting in a wonderful and memorable experience for our children catching fish. It was a great experience fishing onboard Kraken Charters with my family, the kids had a great time!
We had the best day on the water on a girls trip! Tom was an amazing captain and took us everywhere we wanted to see. His mate Levi was amazing as well. Highly, highly recommend. Book now!
We provide a comfortable and safe vessel to cruise around looking for dolphins in Virginia Beach. We also provide a cooler with ice and some of the best mates around. These mates work hard and work for tips so be sure to take care of them, 20% is customary.
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. You will also want to bring plenty of water, snacks and/or food. 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.
Yes, and we suggest having the camera at the ready as you never know what we will see. A phone will work but it is best to have SLR camera with a telephoto lens. We can typically get pretty close but sometimes their acrobatics are a bit from the boat.
