Welcome to Casting Horizon Fishing Charter VA, your premier destination for highly productive and meticulously structured fishing charters in Virginia Beach. Operating out of Fisherman's Wharf Marina, we specialize in fishing the rich waters of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Our operation is uniquely led by two retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officers, Captain Mike Aderholt and Captain Chad Formentera. With over 40 years of combined maritime experience and a deep-rooted knowledge of East Coast fisheries, we deliver safe, memorable, and successful days on the water for both seasoned anglers and families.

Unlike standard operations that rely heavily on trolling, we focus on specialized bottom fishing and advanced wreck fishing. Our captains use custom-made flutter jigs—crafted by a fellow military retiree—designed to effectively target the most sought-after species near the ocean floor. Depending on the season, our charters target Black Sea Bass, Triggerfish, Spadefish, Flounder, Tautog, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Grouper, Red Drum, Speckled Trout, and Striped Bass.

We operate a meticulously maintained 2017 Sea Hunt Gamefish 27, a top-tier center console powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha outboards. This vessel provides a fast 58-knot cruise speed, meaning less time in transit and more time dropping lines. To ensure a personalized and uncrowded environment, all our trips are strictly limited to six guests. While we utilize a single-boat system, our two captains rotate trips, guaranteeing that you always fish with a focused guide who is ready to put you on the fish.

Beyond our core half-day and full-day fishing trips, Casting Horizon Fishing Charter VA also offers a variety of customizable experiences. For those looking to relax and take in the local scenery, we provide family-friendly dolphin and whale watching eco-tours, evening sunset cruises, and private boat tours to local sandbars and waterfront restaurants.

We supply everything you need for a great trip, including top-tier rods, reels, specialized tackle, bait, ice, and safety gear. Your Virginia saltwater fishing license is completely covered under our commercial permits, and we even clean and fillet your catch at the dock.
