* before a license description means the license is
limited entry or delayed entry. Click here to get contact
information on limited entry licenses.
** Non-Residents purchasing the Non-Resident SW
Recreational Fishing Boat License must have a boat registered in VA.
Non-residents without a boat registered in VA are not eligible to obtain
the NR Boat License. MD or PRFC license holders with reciprocity
privileges can fish in VA without purchasing the NR license - click on
link for more on
reciprocity.
*** The tidal boat license is a new type of boat license that became
available 7/1/11. This entitles a registered boat owner listed as the licensee
to an individual fishing license valid for ALL Virginia freshwater and
saltwater, which would include fishing from shore.
In addition, when the boat owner/licensee is aboard any of their own registered boats while fishing in only Virginia
tidal waters, they and their passengers may fish without additional license
(unlicensed passengers do however have to comply with FIP
registration requirements). Non-resident tidal boat licensees
are not required to have their boats registered in Virginia to qualify to purchase this license.
**** When the same applicant purchases a Class A or Class B fishing guide license prior to purchasing one charter boat or head boat license as required by § 28.2-302.8 of the Code of Virginia, the fee for that charter boat or head boat license shall be reduced by the cost of the fishing guide license.
