Tidewater Charters, LLC — Local services in Cape Charles

As someone who has vacationed and fished on the Eastern Shore my whole life, I can confidently say that Captain Jon and his crew are true watermen who know how to put you on the fish. The old saying goes, “90% of the fish are in 10% of the water,” and these guys definitely know where that 10% is! Even our slowest moments were full of action.

We originally had a trip scheduled a few weeks earlier, but Captain Jon was upfront and transparent about the weather conditions. Since it was my group’s first time out, I wanted to make sure they had the best experience possible, and he worked with me to reschedule for a better day. That meant a lot, especially knowing how booked up these guys stay.

I’ve been on several charters in the past, and I can honestly say this boat stood out—it was spotless, very comfortable, and incredibly stable. Whether you’re planning a family trip, a day with friends, or even a business outing, I would 100% recommend Captain Jon and the Tidewater crew. They’ll make sure you have a great time...

We also went tarpon fishing at night on a second trip, and each of us on the boat landed our 1st tarpon (not a small feat). Apart from his angling experience, Tyler was great to be with on the boat and provided a wealth of knowledge on the fishery and conservation. Great boat, great equipment, and the...

Tidewater Charters and Captain Jon Henry are first class. From start to finish, this trip was a blast. Communication was excellent all the way up to when the boat left the dock and the fishing was even better. Jon put us on fish right away and it was steady throughout the whole day. Jon was extremely knowledgeable and helpful all day long. After crushing bluefish and some spade fish all morning and landing a personal best cobia, we finished off the day sight casting from the tower. Jon put us right on several waking cobias as we headed for home. Can’t say enough about how great this trip was. Excited to come back and fish with Captain Jon again and...
