As of today, 8/3/24. The Lost Sailor has been repowered with a new 2024 Suzuki 300. We’re excited about the boat and its new addition.

Lost Sailor Guide Service welcomes you to Fenwick Island, Ocean City and offers to take you on a day full of fishing. Join Captain Skip Maisel and have a memorable time chasing prized fish and enjoying Maryland’s beautiful nature. Whether it’s inshore, nearshore, reefs, flats, or wrecks, Captain Skip will know how to make your trip productive and fun. Pick a day that suits you and join him aboard for a fishing adventure you won’t soon forget!

The boat you’ll be using for fishing is a 25’ Privateer pilothouse that can safely carry up to 3 anglers. It’s powered by a 225 HP Suzuki and rigged with modern navigation electronics, which include GPS, a fishfinder, and a VHF radio along. This boat comes with an ice-box and a livewell.

On your trip, you’ll be chasing Blacktip Shark, Bluefish, Striped Bass, Cobia, Flounder, and Weakfish. The techniques you can use to catch your targets include light tackle, bottom fishing, spinning, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and popping. Kids over 12 are welcome to join aboard. You’re free either to keep or release the fish you catch.

Captain Skip will cover you for all the fishing rods, reels, tackle, licenses, and even drinks. Before you start the trip, you should just bring some snacks.

Lost Sailor Guide Service is waiting for you, pick your day and have a terrific time on the water!
