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. He is not in the 'boat ride' business.

Somethings can't be controlled, but you wasting your money can.

That being said, there are a lot of factors involved when choosing the best time is to fish. Tides, water temperature, water clarity and wind.

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

Time is also a factor, 'How long of a trip should I book?' The answer varies. Are you looking just to bend the rods or do you want to take fish home with you?

If you are looking for the latter, I would recommend at least a 3 hour trip.

For a family with young kids just looking to bend some rods, a 2 hour trip is just fine. You still have the opportunity to catch a keeper, but time is a limiting factor. These trips are $278.00 and we run 3 a day. 10:30 AM, 1:30 PM & 4:30 PM.

You can find our '2 Hour Trips' listed under the 'Short trips & light fishing' tab. It is highlighted in 'blue' right under our 'PM 4 Hour Near Shore Wreck Fishing' listing.

Also check out our 'Sunset Fishing Trip' and the 'Hook & Cook' option which is available on our 3 & 4 hour morning trips.

Extra time can be added to any of our trips.

Four Anglers. Fish for Everyone. 🎣πŸ”₯
AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip on August 15, 2026 β€’ 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 πŸ”₯ Flounder were the stars of the day πŸ“ 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

Great Day in the Bay
Sunset Fishing Adventure on September 2, 2026 β€’ 2 adults

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.

Response from Captain

Hey Michael, I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us. Mother Nature made us work extra hard for that one. I knew we would have a chance if that water cleaned up a little and cooled down at the end of the incoming tide. That fish was our heaviest of the season. We had one a little longer, but it weighed a little less. Awesome fish, congrats. I hope the memories last a lifetime or till he catches one bigger.

Experience caught fish
Sunset Fishing Adventure on July 6, 2026 β€’ 2 adults β€’ 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!

Reported catch:
Flounder

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!!

Book with Captain Tony!!
Sunset Fishing Adventure on July 23, 2026 β€’ 3 adults β€’ 1 child

Captain Tony and Mason both were extremely knowledgeable and patient. We caught 16 flounder and 1 blue fish. 3 of the flounders were keepers! There was no question that Tony’s professional experience fishing and years of knowing the right fishing spots made our experience the best. We loved the Sunset Fishing Cruise. Tony made sure that we had amazing photos, clean fish, and felt like we were never without a baited line in the water. So glad we booked and will for many years to come.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

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!
