Not counting the captain, the boat is able to carry 6 passengers. Any dog over 50lbs will count as one person for space and safety concerns.
For the day, the boat and captain are at your service. Whether you’re looking for an action-packed itinerary cruising from shore to shore, discovering hidden coves, dining at one of the many on-water restaurants, or simply anchoring and relaxing in the warm water, just say the word! At Murphy’s Adventures, our goal is to create a fun and memorable experience, and we will do everything in our power to make the day uniquely yours!
Yes, but there is a catch; you must possess a valid fishing license for the State of Virginia. Please follow the information available on the VA DWR website here to obtain a license if you do not already have one. The captain will verify that you have a valid license for the day of the charter. If stopped and questioned by law enforcement, and it is discovered that the license is not valid, the guest will be responsible for any tickets/fees assigned to them as well as any imposed upon the captain. Please also note that Murphy's Adventures LLC is not a fishing guide service; rather, we are all about good boating fun that allows fishing!
You are welcome to bring your own fishing gear or rent it from Murphy's Adventures LLC for an additional fee.
At this time, you are not able to go tubing on our charters. If this is something you wish to see in the future, please mention this in your post charter survey! We do have a number of floats available for guest use, or you may bring your own for use while at anchor!
It depends; every person is different and the lake conditions change from one hour to the next. While the captain will do his best to minimize the rocking of the boat, sometimes the conditions of the lake result in a bumpy ride. The simple answer? Most people will be fine, but if you are especially prone to motion sickness, we'd reccommend over-the-counter motion sickness medicines that are compliant with your health requirements. Seek professional medical advice before taking any medications.
