Lu-Sea Adventure Charters is a family-operated fishing charter business based in Poquoson, Virginia, led by Captain Paul. The business offers a wide range of in and offshore fishing trips, along with diving, towing, and day and overnight trips to Tangier Island, giving anglers a broad menu of options beyond standard inshore fishing.

Trips target a variety of Chesapeake Bay species depending on the season and format, including Cobia, Red and Black Drum, Flounder, Striped Bass, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Croaker, and Speckled Trout, using techniques like jigging, bottom fishing, trolling, and sight casting. An extended offshore option runs a roughly 2-hour ride out to the Gulf Stream for those chasing bigger, more distant catches. Every trip is family-friendly and action-packed, with the captain adjusting the target species day to day based on what’s biting.

All required fishing equipment is provided on every trip, so guests just need to bring drinks (no glass bottles), snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Weather cancellations are handled at the captain’s discretion with safety as the top priority, and guests receive a full refund or the option to reschedule if a trip is called off for weather.

Poquoson itself sits along Virginia’s water trails, offering views of wildlife like bald eagles and herons alongside local landmarks, and Lu-Sea Adventure Charters operates out of Messick Point, one of the city’s boating hubs.

For anglers looking to fish the Chesapeake Bay or head offshore to the Gulf Stream out of Poquoson, Virginia, Lu-Sea Adventure Charters offers a well-rounded, family-run operation with Captain Paul.
