 Capt. David Wright has been fishing the waters off the Virginia and North Carolina coast for many years. His U.S. Coast Guard Master's License allows him to fish all United States waters. With several thousand charter trips behind him, he knows just where to go and how to catch what's biting!

A charter trip on the High Hopes with Capt. Wright is always a success.

Operating out of Rudee Inlet since 1978, Capt. Dave is the most experienced captain in the area. He grew up in Virginia Beach fishing as a small boy, and as a teenager worked as a mate on charter boats. Beginning with his first High Hopes at the age of 21, Captain Dave has enjoyed great success fishing out of Rudee Inlet, bringing to dock many notable catches!

 “Watching people catch fish and enjoy the ocean is what it's all about.”

 The best way to reach Capt. Dave is by phone. Sometimes his cell is out of range, so call the office first and leave a message with your name and phone number. Capt. Dave will attempt to return your call the same evening when he docks. 

High Hopes Sport Fishing is the oldest continuously running charter service operating from Rudee Inlet!
