Chasin’ Tides Charters invites you to enjoy a family-friendly fishing adventure out of Ocean City, Maryland. From bay fishing charters for Striped Bass and Flounder to guaranteed nighttime Shark adventures, there is a trip for you.
Spend your morning in the bay drifting for Flounder or head to the inlet, bridges, and jetty for Striped Bass. Cast lures for Stripers, Bluefish, and Shad later in the evening. Troll the inshore waters for Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel. Check the bite around the wreck and go for Seabass, Flounder, Tautog, and Triggerfish. With Chasin’ Tides Charters, the opportunities abound.
Before you head out, your captain will guide you through the basics and explain how to use the equipment, tackle, and bait. You will be fishing on a 28’ Dusky center console, which was overhauled in 2017. This fishing boat comes powered by twin 200 HP Suzuki engines and has enough room for up to 6 anglers.
The boat features a full set of fishfinding and navigational electronics and an array of professional accessories. High-quality gear will be available for you on board, such as St. Croix rods and Florida reels for inshore and offshore fishing.
Just pack your lunch and drinks and bring your whole family with you. Chasin’ Tides Charters hopes to get you out on the water very soon!

5 Hour Trip – Wreck Fishing (AM)
We booked a trip for my eight year old's 8th birthday on September 27th, 2025. Kevin was one of the best fishing guides that we've ever been with. Starting from the very beginning he even suggested we park in a different parking spot based on the crowd levels and the possibility of being blocked in. He explained that they were short handed so he had to first mate and captain the boat for us. Kevin was personable, knowledgeable and put us right on the fish. I estimate that we caught around 60-70 fish with dozens of keepers. He tailored the trip and time to allow us to try for Sea Bass and Flounder and did an excellent job driving the boat, rigging the poles, cutting bait and taking care of all of us on the trip. There was an issue where a line got snagged on the bottom and the pole snapped, sending 3/4 of the pole into the ocean. This information was relayed to the business owner who initially charged $120 for the loss of the road. We contacted the owner who replied in a timely manner and explained that nothing negligent occurred to cause the rod to break. This business owner agreed to refund the $120 and by doing that he's gained a customer for life. It goes a long way for an owner to hear a complaint and make it right. I will send anyone looking for a fishing trip to Chasin' Tides and my family will definitely book with them again in the future. Thanks for a great trip and excellent customer service.

4 Hour Trip - Inshore Trolling (PM)
Initially had booked a 4-hour near shore trolling trip but were open to going wherever the fish were. Kevin urged us to do a 6-hour wreck trip because of reports the black sea bass were biting. Decided to go for it and it was the right decision! Boat of 6 of us were pulling them up 2 at time. Ended up with over 60+ fish boxed. During the trip we seen dolphins, a shark, a giant sea turtle, squid, and a Cobia too. All in all it was a great trip but the work ethic of Kevin and Jeff was the stand out feature. With 6 of us on board slamming fish they were working hard the entire time! Never stopped keeping us fishing it was impressive. Thanks again!

4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
I took my Dad and family out for a 4 hour bay fishing trip. The weather was great and the water smooth. Kevin and Malachi both recommended that head out to the ocean for a little trolling. I’m so glad that we did. We were slaying the fish and caught our limit of blue fish and got some spanish mackerel and a green bonita. It was a ton of fun and all 6 of us got to reel in lots of fish. The captain and mate ensured we were comfortable and having a good time. My kids 15,13, and 11 loved it and can’t wait to go back. I’ll definitely be booking here next time.

8 Hr Wreck and Sharkfishing
My group of 6 guys all caught fish. Lots of seabass and 2 sharks. Even though most of us got sick the crew of chase and Jeff were great. They worked extremely hard to make sure we got fish on deck. Definitely one of the best charter experiences I've ever had i will be booking them again. Extra shootout to Jeff the first mate he was the hardest working mate I've ever seen super nice guy and was willing to talk and share experiences with us it was like hanging out with some old friends on chasin tides.

3 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (PM)
Kevin and Malachi took me and my 13 year old son out into the ocean and into the bay. You could tell they had a lot of hours on that boat and we're in good command and safe. We caught fish in both places and even a stingray, which we returned to the bay. They were good guys, Kevin was very passionate about fishing which was cool. They knew all the tricks and we're very knowledgeable and encouraging. Great experience over all. We will be back!
