The purpose of the Virginia Beach Blue Water Club is to promote offshore sportfishing and the conservation of pelagic fish species. The VBBC promotes safety, sportsmanship, education, fellowship and entertainment of its members and interested members of our community. We conduct four general meetings per year that are structured as seminars and hands on training sessions. Topics include: fishing techniques, 
conservation topics, political interests and open forums on current issues such as species stock assessments, fisheries management and local actions effecting pelagic sportfishing. The membership meetings are open to prospective members and on occasion are open to all when important topics are to be presented by guest speakers.
In addition to the membership meetings the VBBC has several dock parties during the fishing season which are open to members and prospective members. Members also attend an annual oyster roast, a Christmas Party and an annual awards banquet.
The VBBF conducts an annual season long fishing tournament for the members called the Fishing Frenzy. The tournament promotes the release of all billfish, ethical fishing practices and the evolvement of junior anglers. Awards are presented at the annual awards banquet. VBBF is very active in supporting local youth drug and alcohol prevention. The foundation has instituted the Hooked on Fishing-Not on Drugs program (HOF-NOD) and supports the DARE efforts to provide our youth with alternatives to drug involvement. The foundation raises funds for the HOF-NOD program by conducting the annual Tux & Tails Gala. Tickets to the gala are sold in the local community and funds are raised through ticket sales, raffles and silent auctions during the gala.
