Welcome aboard "Kashmir"... with Capt.Tony Battista your host.
The boat is a custom 25' center console that was built right here in Ocean City.
And yes, it is named after the "Led Zeppelin" song from 1975 off their "Physical Graffiti" album.
She is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha outboard.
She is equipped with all Simrad Electronics and a 36 V Minn Kota Riptide Instinct trolling motor featuring "Lock Spot" technology.
We specialize in light tackle fishing with both live bait and artificial.
We pride ourselves in using only top-quality gear from Shimano, Diawa, St.Croix, Bulls Bay and FFP.
"No junk on this boat"......
Fishing is a huge passion of Capt.Tony Battista.
He has been fishing the waters around Ocean City for 45+ years. Even on his days off, you will find him fishing with friends and family.
His favorite fish to catch are cobia, mahi mahi, and speckled trout.
Capt. Tony will do what it takes to make sure you have the best experience possible.
He has built his businesses telling his clients the truth about the fishing conditions. He is not in the "boat ride" business….especially if you booked a fishing trip.
From beginner to avid angler, Capt Tony will give you 110%.

2 HR "Back Bay" Intro To Fishing
I recently took my two daughters on their very first fishing trip in Ocean City, MD, and it was an experience we’ll never forget! We went out with Captain Tony, and even though the fishing conditions weren’t ideal that day, he made the entire trip enjoyable, educational, and fun for all of us. Captain Tony was patient, friendly, and great with the kids—he took the time to teach them how to cast and reel in, and his passion for being on the water really showed. Despite the less-than-perfect conditions, we managed to catch three flounder, and one of them was a keeper! You should’ve seen the excitement on my daughters’ faces—it was priceless. It was more than just a fishing trip; it was quality family time with some exciting catches along the way. Highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Tony if you’re in Ocean City—especially if you’re bringing kids or looking for a first-time fishing adventure. We’ll definitely be back for another trip!

5 stars! My significant other and I are from Vermont. We drove multiple hours to get to Maryland for this charter. We were understandably both tired and the weather took a turn for the worst. Tony was amazing and still brought us on a tour around the bay! He went out of his way to offer us a make up day. We caught fish and truly enjoyed his company. He was very generous and kind. We loved our experience even with the few hiccups we had. The boat is clean comfortable and the equipment is top notch. Tony is a good teacher and knows what he is doing. Definitely recommend this charter. Also a note Tony seems well known and liked for his character he got many smiles, waves. He tried to help another boat that was out of power-all around a great person! Thank you Tony!

AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip
Booked a 3hr trip on 7/21 with Saltwater Adventures. Capt. Tony was very knowledgable and put us on fish within 30mins. It was my 7 y/o grandsons first time out and Capt. Tony was great with him. He was very patient, and went out of his way to make sure he was included in every aspect of our trip. By the time our trip was finished we caught close to 20 fish (croaker, flounder and sea bass). And capped it off with a 22in flounder to take home. I cant say enough how much we enjoyed the morning. And will definitely be our first choice for future trips.

Took a group of four out for a amazing 4th of July fishing trip with Captain Tony! My two sons and one of their girlfriends, and we couldn't stop reeling the fish in! Smiles all around! Tony was a great, fun and enthusiastic captain who put us right on the fish! Kept us moving when spots seemed dry and always had us pulling Trigger fish out of the water for the whole four hours.I could not reccomend Captain Tony enough! Looking forward to booking with him in the future. Don't go anywhere else if you want to catch fish and have an Enjoyable fishing experience.

Captain Tony did a great job helping us grind out some good fish on a day when conditions were not idea. His knowledge of the local waters helped save the day by putting us on fish even though the wind was not cooperating. He even extended our trip time to make sure we had every opportunity to put a few more in the cooler. Highly recommend him if you are looking for a reputable captain. We will definitely book with him in the future.
