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!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do You Provide?

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.

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. 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.

Can we take photos?

Yes, and we suggest having the camera at the ready as you never know what we are going to see!

This deposit is non-refundable once within 30 days of the charter date, unless you purchase trip protection. Requests to change a trip date are subject to availability and may not always be accommodated and may incur a reschedule fee. Rescheduling your trip does not reset the cancellation window.

Any cancellations by the customer within 31+ days of the charter date will be refunded the cost of the trip minus any CC/booking fees. Any cancellations by the customer within 5 days of the charter date will result in a charge of 100% of the balance of the trip.
