About Your Trip

Get ready to experience some of the best inshore fishing Virginia Beach has to offer with Captain Preston! Specializing in light tackle action and exciting family-friendly trips, Captain Preston brings years of local expertise to every charter—making it easy for anglers of all skill levels to have a blast on the water.

On your 4 or 6-hour inshore trip, you'll target the area’s premier species: Redfish (Red Drum), Cobia, and Flounder. Whether you're chasing big tailing Reds through grassy flats, drifting through scenic back creeks for Flounder, or sight-casting to cruising Cobia along the inshore channels, Captain Preston knows exactly where to go and when to be there. These waters are loaded with opportunity—and thanks to his deep knowledge of the region, you’ll get dialed into the action fast.

These trips are perfect for everything from a hands-on introduction to fishing for the kids, to a Redfish marathon for seasoned anglers chasing that next personal best. You'll be fishing with top-quality gear, and Captain Preston will walk you through the best techniques—from working soft plastics for Flounder to sight-fishing and bait presentation tips for Cobia. Every trip is fully customizable to match your group’s goals, skill levels, and interests.

Trips are available morning, afternoon, or evening, giving you the flexibility to fish around your schedule or chase that golden-hour bite. Plus, these charters are run with a commitment to eco-friendly and sustainable fishing practices, including catch and release when appropriate and full adherence to local wildlife regulations.

Captain Preston’s boat is fully equipped for inshore exploration and ready for action. All rods, reels, tackle, and safety gear are provided—just don’t forget your Virginia fishing license! You’ll also be able to keep your catch, and Captain Preston will be happy to help with cleaning and filleting once you're back at the dock.

Whether you're looking to introduce your kids to fishing, lock into a school of Redfish, or just spend a relaxing day out on the water, this Virginia Beach inshore trip has something for everyone. Book your trip today and get ready to make memories that’ll last long after the final cast!
