About Us

Love The Bay Way

Buoy Boat Tours started because we LOVE being on the boat with friends & family, exploring our Virginia Beach waterways, and eating and drinking at our favorite local hotspots. Any day on the water is a great day! So, why not extend the fun with private boat cruises, not your standard fishing charter, but a fun day with friends on the boat!!

We created a bunch of different tour themes, all based on our favorite things and places to go on the water.

Hassle-Free Boating

No stress about renting a boat and figuring out where to go or how to operate it; you pick your private tour type, grab your sunscreen, snacks, and some beverages, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

Jump into the Fun!

Pick from any of our fun-filled 3-hour private boat tours. From a romantic sunset cruise, a fun family day on the bay, or boating from bar to bar for orange crushes and outstanding local seafood - your adventure will be amazing!

All Buoy Boat Tours are private (no randos will be on the boat)

Max of 6 guests (you pick em)

All standard tours are $250 for 2 hours

$100 for each additional hour

About Our Tours

Plan Your Perfect Experience!

Whether visiting Virginia Beach or calling it home and just wanting to enjoy a day out on the water, we have many different tour options for you, your family, and your friends!

Day on the Water - Choose your Own Adventure!

Chat with Captain BB before your tour to determine the best course for you and your guests. Cruise around Lynnhaven & Bay, stop at the sandflats, see dolphins, check out some cool waterfront homes, and eat at some of the best restaurants in the area! We will help you plan a perfect day!

Crush n Cruise - Bar Crawl

Nothing beats an orange crush on a hot day! We will cruise around the area and stop by local restaurants for “crushes to go” or you can hang out on the docks and jump back on when you are ready to get underway!

Sunsets & Champagne

Exactly what it sounds like! Taking the boat out to watch the sunset is our favorite thing! It’s a perfect date night, or bring your friends or family to enjoy our beautiful bay sunsets! Don't forget to bring Champagne and snacks!

Sand Flats Fun!!

Enjoy a day on the water- stop by the sand flats or the narrows, play beach games, run around, and swim or float by the boat! This is perfect family fun in the sun!

Crab Crawl Cruise

We will drop you off at our favorite restaurants for the best she crab soup, crab dip, and crabcake sandwiches. We can take you to check on our crab pots and learn a bit about crabbing. Comes with a bag of crab chips!

House Hunting Boat Tour

We will boat past some of our area's gorgeous homes- including Crystal Lake, Broad Bay, Alanton, Thomas Bishop, and Adam Keeling. We looked for our dream house on the water for over 8 years, and know the ins & outs of the area. If you are looking for a waterfront property, this is a great way to go house hunting!

Engagement Cruise - The Perfect Way to Propose

A one-of-a-kind, private & gorgeous sunset engagement cruise. Includes a consultation with the captain on your plans so we can ensure it's perfect. Drop off a bottle of champagne 🍾 before you depart.

We will supply champagne glasses & will put the champagne on ice, so it's ready to be popped! Charcuterie & chocolate-covered strawberries plates/napkins. And, of course, we will snap many photos of your special moment!
