Marinas & Boat Ramps in Virginia Beach

16 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Marinas and boat ramps are the launch points and home base for anyone fishing from their own boat. Public boat ramps are often free or charge a small launch or parking fee, while full-service marinas add slips, fuel docks, bait, pump-outs and sometimes a shop or restaurant. If you trailer a boat, the ramp is where the day starts - and details like ramp condition, tide access, parking for trailers and hours matter as much as anything. Facilities and fees vary a lot from a simple concrete ramp to a large marina, so it helps to know what a location offers before you arrive. The listings here help you find ramps and marinas by city and state.

Below are 16 marinas & boat ramps listings in Virginia Beach, VA, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Virginia Beach Fishing Center (4.7★, 878 Google reviews).

Are public boat ramps free? +
Many public boat ramps are free to use, though some charge a launch fee or require paid trailer parking, and busy ramps can fill up early on weekends. Fees and hours vary by location and managing agency - confirm before you tow your boat out.
What is the difference between a boat ramp and a marina? +
A boat ramp is a launch point for trailered boats - often just a concrete ramp and parking. A marina is a larger facility that may add slips, fuel, bait, pump-outs, repairs and a shop or restaurant. Some listings are ramps only, others full marinas, so check what each location offers.
How do I find a boat ramp or marina near me? +
Browse the ramps and marinas listed by city and state here to see nearby launch points and what facilities they offer. Because ramp condition, tide access and hours change, confirm current details with the marina or the agency that manages the ramp before your trip.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Virginia Beach? +
Virginia Beach charters typically run about $500-$1,400 depending on the trip. Bay and nearshore structure trips for flounder and sea bass are the most affordable; full-day cobia trips and offshore canyon runs for tuna and marlin sit at the top because of the distance and fuel. Confirm the all-in price with the operator.
When is rockfish season in Virginia Beach? +
Trophy striped bass, called rockfish here, are mainly a late-fall and winter target as big migratory fish stage around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and the bay mouth. Regulations and seasons for keeping them change, so ask your captain what is open for your dates.
What can you catch fishing Virginia Beach in summer? +
Summer is prime for cobia sight-fishing and big red drum near the shoals, with flounder and black sea bass holding on structure like the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Offshore canyon trips run to the Gulf Stream edge for tuna and marlin when the weather allows.
