Our next brings us a fluke that inspired a name which easily makes sense: JT!

This individual was sighted by our team in 2013. A quick glimpse at the map shows you how far the animal has traveled making the rounds annually from the northern feeding grounds to the southern breeding grounds! Fun fact? JT is a female and was spotted with a calf in 2021! Will this be the year for another babe?!

The main annex of the Virginia Beach Fishing Center is undergoing an exciting renovation, which will enable us to better serve your needs.

🚧 Construction is underway! 🚧

New temporary procedures include:
🗺️Departure from the Southside Annex of the Virginia Beach Fishing Center at 416 Southside Road.
‼️Visitors will need to physically navigate stairs and a narrow walkway in order to board our vessels. We will be unable to accommodate wheelchairs, large strollers, and other rolling devices during our interim departure from the Southside Annex.
🚗Parking location will vary with each departure. Please follow signs and directions to the appropriate spot in the grass or gravel. Carpooling is recommended due to limited space.
⏰Arrive 45-60 minutes prior to the trip time to allow for the modified logistics.

Our team members have updated the website and booking site with this current information, and will be reaching out personally to upcoming reservations impacted.

Please call us if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support during this transition – we can’t wait to experience the salty air and sea with you!

The Rudee Tours Advantage

Connect. Respect. Protect.

Experience the “only way to see the sea” with the company that cares.

Our guests are like family to us, and we take the utmost pride in making sure that your excursions are safe and enjoyable. Safety is our top priority. Each vessel exceeds all standards and is licensed and inspected annually by the United States Coast Guard. Our team of owners, captains, and crew have over 40 years of experience operating head boats in the area. Our knowledge of the local waters and how to navigate them is unparalleled.

At Rudee Tours, we are committed to protecting the animals and their homes. Not only do we showcase this by following all responsible wildlife watching guidelines, but we also collect information on each trip. Our eco-excursions serve as platforms to learn more about the marine environment while simultaneously educating and spreading awareness about the species that inhabit it. Sightings on fish species, marine mammals, sea turtles, and birds are combined with environmental data to help us learn more about the species and how they are using our coastal habitat. By collaborating with other regional researchers, we provide information that helps protect and conserve the animals we love.
