Reelin N’ Dealin Sportfishing offers luxury offshore fishing charters out of Fisherman’s Wharf Marina in Rudee Inlet, Virginia Beach, led by Captain Taylor Christian aboard a 62-foot custom Carolina sportfishing boat. The vessel is one of the fastest and most luxurious in Virginia Beach’s fleet, cruising at 33 knots to maximize time on the fishing grounds rather than time traveling.
Guests relax on comfortable leather couches in an air-conditioned cabin, listen to satellite radio or their own music through a premium sound system, and can watch HD satellite TV on a 40-inch flat screen with surround sound between bites. The boat is equipped with two Seakeeper Model 6 gyros, which reduce roll by more than 80%, creating a notably more stable and comfortable ride than most charter boats offer.
The offshore season typically runs late spring through late fall, targeting White Marlin, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo, with Swordfish and Shark added to overnight trip targets. Every trip accommodates up to six passengers and includes crew, fuel, ice, bait, and tackle, with gratuity not included (15-20% customary for the first mate).
Full-day offshore trips (5am-5pm) run $3,500, overnight trips (noon to 5pm the following day) run $6,000, and custom trips can be arranged based on expenses plus a $1,500/day charter fee, with all rates subject to fuel surcharge. A 20% deposit is required to book, due at least two weeks before the trip date; cancellations with three or more days’ notice receive a full refund.
For anglers looking for a fast, stable, and luxurious offshore fishing charter out of Virginia Beach, targeting billfish, tuna, and other big game, Reelin N’ Dealin Sportfishing offers a premium experience with Captain Taylor Christian.
