    Took my 9 yr old to catch fish, she got a bit sick at the windmills but still caught two sea bass. We came closer in as she was done and caught a mackerel or two. Great trip and wonderful captain and crew. highly recommend

    The Knot Tuggin delivers again! Epic offshore action!! 6 Tuna, 1 Gaffer, and a Captain Who Never Quit! 🔥

    Full day – Offshore on August 14, 2025

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible day offshore aboard the Knot Tuggin! We ended the trip with 6 tuna and a gaffer, and the action was nonstop. Captain went above and beyond, doing everything possible to put us on fish and keep us on them all day long. His knowledge, work ethic, and determination really showed, and it made for an unforgettable experience. The boat was great, the trip was well organized, and the fishing was outstanding. If you're looking for a captain who will work hard to make sure you have the best chance at success, look no further. Highly recommend Knot Tuggin Sportfishing, and we can't wait to get back out there and do it again! 🎣🐟🔥

    An Incredible Tuna Trip out of Virginia Beach!

    Full day – Offshore on August 11, 2025 • 5 adults

    We had the most amazing fishing adventure this August out of Virginia Beach! We booked a12 hr trip and wrapped it up an hour early after meeting the daily limit, and it was worth every minute. The weather was perfect, the ocean was calm 55 miles out, and Captain Zach and Mate Hunter running the trip knew exactly what they were doing. The boat was really well setup, and really comfortable for the ride. Tuna fishing in August out of VB is spotty I’m told, and they absolutely delivered — helping us bring in 12 beautiful yellowfin tuna (about 200 pounds of fillets) by the end of the day. Each hookup was pure adrenaline, and the excitement on board was contagious. The crew kept everything running smoothly, from setting lines to giving tips that really made a difference. Not only did we come home with coolers full of fresh tuna, but it was a great chance for our family to create lifelong memories of teamwork and laughter. If you’re looking for a top-notch offshore fishing experience out of Virginia Beach, Knot Tugging should be your first call. (757) 685-6873.

    Full day – Wreck Fishing on June 16, 2025 • 6 adults

    Surprised my son for his 16th birthday with his closest buddies for a day of fishing on the Knot Tuggin. Zach and Hunter were great with the teens ensuring they were safe and successful fisherman. I highly recommend this trip. We went home with our limit and enjoyed fish tacos for dinner.

    Took my father in law and two sons (7&9) with me on their charter. Had an awesome time and the captain and first mate are top notch. They took care of everything and put us on some bull reds. Made great memories with my boys. Thank you guys. You will be seeing me again for sure.

    Half Day Trip with Zack Castro and Knot Tuggin

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on May 13, 2023 • 2 adults

    This was one of the best charters I have been on. Capt Zachary put us onto a school of huge drum. We also picked up several Spanish mackerel and taylor Blue. Another shout out to the captain for rescuing two jet skiers who had flipped their vessel. If you are looking for a professional and caring captain, you won't go wrong here. I will definitely book another charter with Knot Tuggin.
