Popular trip options include half-day and full-day excursions targeting species such as redfish, speckled sea trout, striped bass, and tarpon in the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding flats.
How much does a fishing charter cost?
Prices vary based on trip length and type. A standard half-day charter typically ranges from $400 to $500 for up to two anglers, while full-day trips may range from $650 to $750.

What’s included in a Custom Tide Guide Service trip?
Every trip includes high-quality fishing gear, tackle, ice, bottled water, and all required fishing licenses. You’ll also benefit from the guidance of an experienced Virginia fly fishing guide who knows the local waters inside and out. Just show up ready to fish—everything else is handled.
What should I bring on my fishing trip?
We recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, snacks or lunch, and a camera to capture your catch. We provide all rods, reels, tackle, and licenses, so there’s no need to bring your own gear unless you prefer to.
When is the best time to go fishing in Virginia?
The fishing season in Virginia is productive year-round, but the best times are spring through fall. Redfish and speckled trout peak in warmer months, striped bass are most active in spring and late fall, and tarpon are typically found in summer. Early mornings and evenings offer prime conditions for flats fishing.
How many people can join a charter?
Custom Tide Guide Service accommodates up to two anglers per trip. This allows for a more personalized, guided experience with ample room to cast, especially during fly fishing trips on the flats. It’s ideal for solo anglers, friends, or family members looking for a quality day on the water.
Do I need a fishing license for a charter?
No, you do not need to purchase a separate fishing license. All charters with Custom Tide Guide Service include the required licenses under our captain’s permit, making your Virginia charter fishing trip hassle-free.
Is fly fishing experience required?
Not at all! Whether you're a seasoned fly angler or brand new to the sport, Captain Jason will tailor the trip to your skill level. Beginners are welcome, and personalized instruction is provided throughout your fishing adventure.
Where do Custom Tide Guide Service trips launch from?
