King Tide Charters offers private inshore fishing trips on the Chesapeake Bay out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, led by Captain Jack Limroth aboard a 25′ C Hawk. The business runs a range of trip lengths and focuses, from beginner-friendly outings to more advanced trips built around technique and strategy.

The Half-Day Inshore trip runs 4 hours in the calm, productive waters of the bay, targeting Redfish, Sea Trout, Croaker, Flounder, and Striped Bass, suited to families and shorter outings. The 6-Hour Full Day trip pushes into central bay waters chasing migratory species like Cobia, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Spadefish, while Captain Jack’s signature 8-Hour Full Day trip is the business’s most popular offering, giving maximum flexibility to target Red Drum, Cobia, and other species depending on conditions. A dedicated Half-Day Beginner trip focuses on calm inshore waters and steady action for first-timers and families, targeting Croaker, Spot, Flounder, and Spanish Mackerel with simple light tackle. For experienced anglers, the Skilled Angler Trip chases Cobia, Red Drum, Striped Bass, and Sheepshead using bottom fishing, jigging, sight casting, and trolling around structure and local hot spots.

Every trip includes fishing licenses, top-tier rods, reels, tackle, and bait, along with complimentary catch cleaning and filleting; guests are asked to bring their own food, drinks, and personal items like sunscreen and sunglasses. Guests interested in fly fishing are welcome to bring their own equipment. Charter pricing starts at $600 and runs up to $900 depending on trip length and type.
