From the moment you pull into the parking lot, everything is seamless. The check-in and safety briefing in the office are always professional, efficient, and welcoming, making the entire process effortless. Once you're out on the bay, it's clear why they stand above the rest. Their boats are well-maintained, and the staff genuinely cares about making sure you have an incredible day on the water. What makes Bay Venture truly special is that they're a family-owned business. They treat every customer like family and consistently go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. After nearly a decade of renting from them, I can confidently say they've earned my trust and loyalty. I wouldn't rent from anyone else in Virginia Beach. Highly recommend!

I was impressed with the condition of the boat....it looked new. Very well maintained. And the people were so nice and helpful and friendly. They make sure you have everything you need before you leave and well help in anyway possible. I have already recommended to several friends that didn't even know this place was here. Check them out if you want to rent a boat.

My friend rented kayaks before with this company. It was her idea to go kayaking and I am so glad…read morewe did! I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet and peaceful the area was where we kayaked. When my friend mentioned Back Bay I was thinking, oh snap. What did I commit myself to?? Kayaking where there might be cottonmouths??!! But I was thinking Back Bay Wildlife Refuge where I've seen lots of them. There were no cottonmouths. I promise you. Just lots of duck blinds and marsh areas that open into the bay. It was so serene. You get 2 hours, and rental includes the pfd and they loan you a waterproof phone case if needed which was nice. Because I was pretty dry until I got out of the kayak from our 2 hours. I landed in waist deep water, my feet sunk into the sand. I couldn't recover from the fall and face planted into the water - baseball hat, sunglasses and waterproof phone case and all. THAT waterproof phone case saved my phone and my key fob!! Don't do what I did Launch it parallel to the land so you don't end up in the water like I did. The young man that worked there was kind and genuinely concerned. When he arrived to pull the kayaks further up on land, he asked if I got hot. Because he saw I was soaking wet. I think he thought I took a dip in the water. But I told him, I actually fell in getting out of the kayak. (The older couple with their beach chairs outside Baja got quite a show of me splashing around. Haha. ) He made sure I was okay and asked if my phone was okay and to make sure since the waterproof phone cases aren't 100% waterproof. Thankfully, it was fine and so was my key fob. You can rent single or tandem kayaks and are free to roam the area. It's $35 plus tax but they offer military discounts 10% with ID so it came out to $33.39 for me. Staff was very nice the young man was the same person who checked us in and took our payments and the young ladies were friendly and kind as well. Kudos to the staff with their patience, because there was a large group (family) that was blocking the entrance to the shack. When it was time for them to gear up for their pfds, they ransacked the racks of life vests and staff had to politely inform them that they have it in order and will fit each of them individually properly. Therefore there's no need to take them off the rack. I looked it up on their website and if you have your own kayak you can pay a $15 launch fee so that's cool.

Today was my wife's birthday; she is very adventurous. The staff was amazing. They explained what to expect and provided the necessary safety equipment. The ride was fantastic. I am 50+, and I was holding on, with my eyes closed and a smile, to my two kids. The driver helped me adjust to changes in speed and water turbulence resulting from the boat ride. My kids and my wife were laughing. They helped us create a lasting family legacy moment we can cherish. I will come again and use them in the future. I highly recommend them for locals and out-of-town guests. Thank you, John, Cheyenne, Emily, and the rest of the staff.

This one was fantastic! Pat and Eduardo helped us onto the boat, secured our life vests and then told us to give us a thumbs up or down if we wanted them to go faster or slower.

We paid extra for the pics and video, which the staff sent to my phone (thanks Olivia!) It was sooo worth it! The pics are priceless! We highly recommend this adventure.

I've walked up to this many many times and shopped for fudge and beach-themed goodies and seen…read moreOcean Eddie's but I've never fished here or paid to fish here. This past weekend my mom and her fiancée were in town and we had a boat fishing trip planned that was scrubbed due to wind and waves and surf. Bummer. So, we brought him here so he could at least do some fishing and hopefully catch something! It's easy to roll up and rent a fishing pole and buy some bait which you do on the left side shop right before the pay booth for the pier. Once you do that - you pay to go through. I might be off on the pricing but it's around $15-20 to rent a fishing pole and get bait - then something like $13 to fish for the day and $4 for an observer (no fishing). Once you're on the other side there is a small snack bar serving burgers, fries and hot dogs and two bathrooms on the right. Then, the pier. There are tons of benches lining both sides and it goes out pretty far actually. Even crowded as it was the day we were there, we easily found a spot to fish further down. I recommend you bring a folding chair and cooler with you if you plan to be here for a while - while there are a lot of benches - it wasn't enough for everyone. And you'll want somewhere to put your fish if you catch them (duh). There is a "station" of three areas to clean your caught fish about 1/3 way down the pier open to anyone and most people were amiable and friendly and willing to share their space to allow you to scrunch in. All in all - a fun day and a fun trip. But I wouldn't pay to watch too often bc after about 30 minutes I'm ready to go. lol.

Whatever you need for fishing or for hanging out, you can find it on the pier. The bait shop also sells and rents rods and reels.

Military discount available. I did not fish this time but I will plan to next time.
