An evening sunset cruise and a fishing charter with Big Dog Charters are two completely different trips.
A sunset cruise is for relaxing, sightseeing, music, dancing, taking pictures, making TikToks, and enjoying the sunset. It is not booked or advertised as a fishing trip. The captain may occasionally put out a fishing rod if time and conditions allow, but fishing is only a bonus—not the purpose or guarantee of the cruise.
A fishing charter is specifically booked for fishing. The trip is planned around finding fish, using the proper tackle and bait, and spending the available time actively fishing. Catching fish is never guaranteed, but fishing is the main purpose of the trip.
Simply put: Sunset cruise = entertainment and sight

Experience Virginia Beach from the water aboard Big Dog Charters, a classic 1976 Buddy Harris Custom Sportfishing vessel designed for unforgettable days on the coast. Powered by an 800 HP Caterpillar diesel engine, this spacious private charter comfortably accommodates up to six guests and cruises smoothly at speeds up to 22 knots, perfect for sightseeing, dolphin watching, sunset cruises, and relaxing booze cruises with friends and family.

Capt. Rocky Huber is passionate about creating fun, personalized experiences on the water, whether you’re looking to spot dolphins, enjoy a scenic coastal cruise, celebrate a special occasion, or simply unwind with your favorite music and drinks. The boat is fully equipped for comfort and entertainment with air conditioning, WiFi, premium sound system, grill, refrigerator, indoor and outdoor speakers, and plenty of space to relax across the aft sundeck and flybridge.

Inside, guests will find a comfortable cabin with a berth, head, and restroom, making longer trips easy and enjoyable. Families and children are welcome, and alcohol is allowed onboard so you can fully customize your perfect day on the water.

family sunset cruise
2 Hour – Booze Cruise/Sunset on August 22, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Rocky was amazing. At the beginning of the trip he offered for the kids to “drive the boat.” We had the best time relaxing while listening to music. The water was a little rough, but Captain Rocky was very accommodating. We ended up cruising around the inlet, which was nice. Definitely doing another charter with him again!

These guys are the best!!
2 Hour – Booze Cruise/Sunset on July 22, 20264 adults

Capt Rock and his first mate Bullfrog were the best! They know their stuff, and were to put you on the fish! Their equipment was well taken care of and they pride their self on showing you the time of your life. If you want to stay on the porch then go ahead. But if you want to catch fish, you better be booking with Big Dog!
