The Captain Cheryl is a premiere Virginia Beach charter fishing boat, a 57-foot sport-fishing yacht built by Buddy Cannady, a builder known for boats specifically designed to thrive in the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean and built for successful sport-fishing ventures. She’s powered by a single 1,000 horsepower Caterpillar engine, cruising at 24 knots with a max speed of 29 knots.
The boat is run by Captain Joe DelCampo, who brings more than 30 years of experience as captain of both charter and private fishing boats. He’s held a captain’s license since 1993, along with a 100-Ton U.S. Coast Guard Master’s License, Coast Guard certified safety drill instructor status, and first aid and CPR training. Captain Joe has fished up and down the East Coast from New Jersey to Florida, as well as throughout the Bahamas and Mexico, giving him deep, wide-ranging expertise in fishing and rigging.
