Captain took us out even though half the party he expected bailed, and he wouldn't be making much on the day. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that comes through and makes for a better time. Both Captain and First Mate were very helpful and attentive, and we caught more fish than we could keep. Boat was in great shape, and the whole day was a blast. Definitely looking forward to heading out with them again soon!

I have been going to Bell Isle for 10 years and have had NO issues of any kind. I have performed a…read morebottom job on my 30' sailboat during the 'Off Season' which took 5 months and also I kept a 23' runabout boat at the marina inside the fence on a rack due to the hassle of trailering. Their Forklift puts it in and takes the boat out & hoses it down after use. Then places it on my designated wood rack again. No hassle. Now (June 2019) I'm waiting for my Va, boat registration transfer from N.C. to Va. so I can change the numbers (& state) off the hull and take my new(er) Center Console boat down for the boating season. Back River is a great area to fish, relax and pull up to Factory Point and enjoy family time. I highly recommend Bell Isle. John

Captain Rob and his 1st Mate, Aaron did a fantastic job getting us in schools of Blues and Spanish Mackerel the whole day! From the preparation, all the way to the cleaning of our massive catch, was done phenomenally! Very professional team that knew what to do and exactly when to do it! I highly recommend using this charter if you're into catching more fish than you can eat! Our five person group caught enough fish to have two large cookouts feeding around 10 people each time with plenty left over!

It really doesn't get better!!! I will be using them again in the very near future.

Last month, I joined a friend of mine for a morning stroll. Let's see how the visit turned out. I met my friend outside of the information center on an early Saturday morning. The weather was cold but not to where walking was impossible. The path we took, Wetlands, was pretty good and mostly dry. It's the main one we take everytime I visit. I was surprised there weren't other people out and about since it had sunshine, but it was cold and breezy. Just the way a nice trail should be on a Saturday morning. Overall, a pretty good time to get some exercise in. This park is one which will continue to be one of my favorites. Till next time :)

Within a few minutes, I receive an email response with "Please give me a call." No attempt to answer my questions. Why do businesses solicit customer questions by email if they have no intent to answer questions by email? I pinged them back that I was surprised by the lack of detail. I received another response that noted: "Figured a quick, immediate response was better than a detailed tonight." That was wrong...a quick/immediate response simply telling me to call accomplished nothing but annoying me. By the way, the "detailed tonight" email never came. When the business puts the burden on the customer to track down the business for answers, they may lose business. That happened in my case unless I decide to change my mind and track them down by phone for more info.

The actual playground is clean and a decent size it has swings and a jungle gym complete with slides I walked the circle a few times and really enjoyed the atmosphere Beechlake Park is truly a hidden gem

It is a neat park, but because the water has no circulation the alge is too thick to fish.read more
