    Capt Greg was awesome

    Half Day on July 1, 2026 • 4 adults

    Kind of a slow bite day but Capt Greg was awesome. Knew where to be and keep our lines on good drifts. Caught enough fish for fun and hit some keepers for dinner.

    Fishing with Gregory

    Half Day on August 17, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Decided to take a fishing trip while staying in Ocean City, Captain Gregory was available on short notice. Everything went very smoothly, we started catching fish immediately. The boat was clean, Captain Gregory was very knowledgeable and accommodating to what we wanted to fish for. We hauled in several blacktip shark and 48” Cobia. He cleaned and packaged the cobia for us to take home. Overall one of the best charters we’ve done. Definitely would recommend.

    Great Trip

    Half Day on July 25, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Greg talked to us about what we wanted to do and how the weather would affect our plans. We fished the inlet and caught some flounder. After a while we were getting less action, so he moved us into the bay and we started catching again. Captain Greg was very helpful and informative. My 10 year old had a blast and caught his first flounder. He wanted to filet the fish we kept and Captain Greg showed him how to do it. Would highly recommend a trip with Lauriana Charters.

    Nice morning on the Laurianna

    Half Day on July 29, 2025 • 4 adults

    Greg was a great skipper. We headed out to the reef, as did lots of other boats, but there was no action there. We headed to the OC inlet and started to catch the fish. Overall it was a great morning. The boat was comfortable. I would recommend this charter and would go out with Greg again.

    Half Day on June 16, 2024 • 4 adults

    Had a great time out on the water catching summer fluke. Captain was great the entire time with every detail thought out and prepared in advance. Parking and location were very convenient. Boat was immaculate and we caught plenty of our target fish. Will definitely book again.

    Great trip

    Back Bay Fluke - 8:00 AM on July 31, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt Greg was fantastic! He made some adjustments to our trip even before we went out to make sure we had the best conditions. Made it out to the reef and were on some fish almost immediately. We caught about 10 flounder, unfortunatley only 1 keeper. But it was great to be out there catching fish. Had my 14 yr old son and 12 year old nephew and he was great with them. Did his best to make sure they had a great day. Even was able to help my nephew get past a little bit of sea sickness he had. I am definitely planning to head back out w/ Capt Greg when the stripers come around. Great experience overall and I highly recommend booking w/ Laurianna.

Captain Gregory Castellane has been guiding customers on exciting fishing trips since 2012 and isn't showing any signs of stopping! He holds a U.S. Coast Guard 100-ton master license. He's also an avid angler who won the Ocean City Marlin & Tuna club Shark Tournament with a massive 346 lb Thresher Shark! Capt. Greg is very hands-on and wants his guests to learn every single thing in the angling process. He says one of the more rewarding things about being a charter captain is teaching kids how to fish and watching them light up when they reel their first one in.
