Welcome aboard "Saltwater Adventures" with your host, Capt. Tony Battista.

The boat is a custom 25' CC that was built right here in Ocean City. It was launched in 2017.

"Light Tackle Fishing" is what we do. We pride ourselves in using only quality rods and reels.

Fishing is a huge passion of Capt.Tony. He has been fishing the waters in and around Ocean City for better than 50 years now.

Even on his days off, you will find him fishing here with family and friends.

Capt. Tony is a great teacher and will do what ever it takes to make sure you have the best experience possible. From beginners to the more experienced, you will learn techniques that will help improve your success on the water.

Capt. Tony has built his businesses telling his customers the truth about the weather and fishing conditions at the time of their trip. "If your chances for a successful trip don't look good, he is going to tell you.

He is not in the "boat ride" business.

Somethings can't be controlled, but you wasting your hard earned money can. Conditions change daily and he truly cares about you having the best experience possible

His honesty is the closest thing to a "guarantee" you will find in the charter fishing industry.

If conditions are not ideal on the day of your trip, Capt. Tony will do everything he can to reschedule you to a better time or date.

It is always advisable for you to book your fishing trip earlier in your vacation. This allows for some adjustment if the trip needs to be rescheduled during your stay.

If you are not sure about what date or time to book your charter, reach out to him before you book. "Send Captain a Message". He will get back to you as soon as possible.

When choosing a "back bay" trip, it is always important be aware of the best "tide" times before you book. Your success rate will go way up. Again, don't hesitate to reach out to Capt.Tony in a message.

You will greatly appreciate all of the extra effort he puts into each and every trip.

    Four Anglers. Fish for Everyone. 🎣🔥

    AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip on August 15, 2026 • 4 adults

    🎣 Great Day on the Water with Saltwater Adventures! Had an awesome trip with Saltwater Adventures today. There were four of us on the boat, and every one of us caught at least fou fish with a nice variety of species throughout the trip. Flounder were definitely the go-to, and our captain did a fantastic job of moving us around and consistently putting us in locations where the fish were biting. That makes all the difference on a charter. Instead of spending the day hoping to find fish, we stayed on them and kept catching. Great fishing, great company, and a captain who clearly knows the local waters. If you're looking to get out and do some saltwater fishing, Saltwater Adventures is absolutely worth checking out. 🎣 Four anglers 🐟 4+ fish caught by each of us 🌊 Multiple species 🔥 Flounder were the stars of the day 📍 Captain kept putting us on the fish Definitely a trip I'd do again. #SaltwaterAdventures #OceanCityMD #OCMD #MarylandFishing #SaltwaterFishing #FlounderFishing #FishingCharter #FishingTrip #TightLines #FishOn #EasternShore #MarylandOutdoors

    Experience caught fish

    Sunset Fishing Adventure on July 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt Tony was phenomenal. We booked a late afternoon bay trip and the water conditions were less than optimal, however, Tony knew just where to go to get us on some fish. His experience is second to none. We landed 5 flounder with 2 being keepers and my family loved it! Captain Tony’s honesty also shines through, the water quality was getting bad and rather then having us come up blank he credited me with an hour towards our next trip! I will definitely be booking again with saltwater adventures!

    Perfect Fishing Adventure!

    2 HR "Back Bay" Intro To Fishing on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults

    This fishing trip was better than I ever expected! The mate and the captain were so accomodating. They made we sure that we experienced more than catching fish. They followed a dolphin, showed us where the horses roam on Assateaque Island, and let us swim on the sand bar! We caught flounder immediately. It was the best part of any Ocean City vacation I’ve had so far. Perfect day! I will absolutely be adding this to every Ocean City trip in the future!

    Great Trip!

    Sunset Fishing Adventure on August 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    This was our second time fishing with Captain Tony and Saltwater Adventures. We have 8 and 10 year old kids with limited fishing experience, and they took great care of them and made sure they had fun both times. I have had just as much fun with a lot of fishing experience and caught my personal best flounder. I especially like that they specialize in light tackle. We highly recommend Saltwater Adventures!

    Wonderful trip with an accommodating crew!

    Sunset Fishing Adventure on June 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had booked an evening trip but woke up to high winds in morning. Tony was quick at contacting me to get our trip rescheduled. We were able to get out to the ocean and catch 12 Sea bass prior to me getting sick. Tony and Mason were helpful with attending to the rod, getting me water, and getting me back on land. Highly recommend this crew for any charter! We will be back, I’ll just stick to the bayside 😊

    Great trip

    AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip on September 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    Fun trip with a knowledgeable captain. Excellent communication. Worked with us on a trip due to impending bad weather on the day we had planned. Changed to a 3 hour bay trip which he extended so it ended being closer to 5 and caught some flounder. He was working his network of captains to get us on fish the whole time. He got us on fish when nobody else was. We will be scheduling with him again.

    Awesome day on the water with Capt. Tony!

    AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip on September 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    The conditions were not all optimal, very windy and working against the tide but Capt. was diligent in trying new things until we got on the fish. We caught a variety of species and came home with 2 nice keeper flounder. Boat was extremely comfortable and Capt. was super accommodating. Appreciated all the hard work to get us some tight lines. We will be fishing with Capt. Tony again.

    Great Experience

    AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip on July 5, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Tony and his first mate showed us a great time. They had us on fish quickly and knew exactly what we should be doing. Caught several flounder (including some keepers) and a sea bass in our trip. My brother brought his 12 year old son and he had a great experience thanks to Tony and his 1st mate. Tony cleaned the fish and we were able to take it into fish tales to have it fried up for lunch.

    Fantastic time!

    AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip on June 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Couldn't have asked for better seas, a better time, or a better guide and first 1st mate. Captain Tony put us on the fish, provided great conversation and great music. The weather was perfect and the fish were on. I didn't know Trigger fish were so delicious. Fried, grilled, baked, blackend...had enough to do it all. Will go again. 6:30 am trip.

    2 HR "Back Bay" Intro To Fishing on August 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Tony and First Mate Mason were awesome!!! Caught a bunch of flounders, a stripped bass, and an ugly toadfish. A flounder and stripped bass was a keeper. Very friendly and helpful. Captain knew where to go and where to cast. It was a great experience with my 12 yo son. Thanks for everything and will be back again next OCMD trip!!

I started fishing with my grandfather at age 9. As a child, I grew up fishing on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay and off of the Rt. 50 Bridge in Ocean City, MD. In the early days it was all about Perch (both Yellow and White) and small rockfish. In Ocean City, it was all Flounder. My grandfather loved to catch Flounder. In my early teens I was introduced to trolling. Mostly for Striped Bass and Bluefish on the Chesapeake. These fish would range from 5 to 20 pounds with an occasional fish over 25. It was on one of these trolling trips that I got to experience light tackle fishing for the first time. Late in the afternoon, a school of 10-12 pound Stripers started breaking on the surface. The captain had the mate pull all of the trolling gear in and then handed everyone a spinning rod with a red and white bucktail on it. For the next 2 hours, we made cast after cast hooking up every time. I was hooked! I couldn't get enough of fishing, it's all I wanted to do during my summer breaks!

    Weather took a turn (which we were prepared for) but Captain still reached out to us prior to arrival to make sure we were aware and ok with it (since we had two kids)and was upfront about conditions , which I’m always thankful for upfront honesty. We still made out great! Tried multiple fishing spots, even though there were no keepers, he knew exactly where to go so the kids could catch things and see things. We caught flounders, bass, stingrays and saw sharks too. Took a cruise to look for ponies , where we saw one of the herds and overall had a great few hours just being out on the water. Will be booking another trip☺️

    Captain Tony made all the right moves to put us on fish in less than ideal conditions. His knowledge of the local waters helped overcome post torrential rain, which muddied up the waters, which landed my son his PB flounder. Put a 25 3/4” 6 and a half pounder in the boat! These guys were great and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great day on the water.
