Rent a Boat in Virginia Beach, VA

Where Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic, Virginia Beach serves up rockfish blitzes, dolphin-filled salt marshes, and wide resort beaches under twin Cape Henry lighthouses. A single run can cover Lynnhaven oyster bars, First-Landing sunsets, and offshore wreck dives.

What to know

The most popular boat rental styles in Virginia Beach include:

  • Center consoles & walk-arounds for bay striper trolling and king mackerel off the coastal triangle.
  • Deck & pontoon boats for Broad Bay sandbar picnics and sunset loops inside Linkhorn.

Fast tides, naval security zones, and busy inlet traffic make a local captain the best co-pilot.

Safety regulations

  • Boating License/Education Rules: Virginia requires a boating-safety certificate for every motor-vessel operator (phase-in complete).
  • Life Jacket Requirements: Children 13 and under must wear a PFD while on an open deck and underway.
