3Hr Back Bay (2:00 PM - 5:00PM) on June 4, 2026 • 1 adult

Had a great trip with Captain Dave and Frank. It was just the three of us on the boat, which made for a really fun and laid-back experience. These guys were easy to talk to, worked hard the entire trip, and clearly know their stuff.

Captain Dave put us on fish, and Frank was always right there to help, keep things moving, and make sure I was having a good time. It never felt rushed—just a great day on the water with good company, plenty of laughs, and fish coming over the rail.

cant wait to get back out with these guys

Good day on the Bay

Back Bay & Near Shore (7AM - 12PM) on August 7, 2025 • 4 children

We purchased a Bay/Inshore 5hr trip. Unfortunately the conditions on the ocean were not great especially given we had 4 young kids, but Captain Dave alerted us the night before and gave us the option of canceling. We went forward with trip, just sticking to the bay. Capt Dave and First Mate Frank were great, very thorough with all the protocols, etc. Frank was on all the boys lines and they never waited to get bait and a line back in the water. We caught about 15 fish total. Boat was immaculate as well.  Would def book again and hope the conditions allow for some inshore, etc trips.

Best trip ever!

3Hr Back Bay (7AM - 10AM) on June 14, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

The captain and his mate,Connor were amazing. They made my 7 year old daughter so comfortable, she was the first to catch a fish. We all chatted small family talk and it was such a good vibe. I caught a flounder to keep and they cleaned it for me.  I would definitely book again!!

Amazing trip, huge value and great for kids

3Hr Back Bay (7AM - 10AM) on July 22, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

This was the first time both of my children had been fishing. Captain Dave and his first mate Frank were knowledgeable, patient and super kind to our family. They knew exactly where to go to catch fish and taught my kids everything they needed to know. They took care of everything, I would HIGHLY recommend this trip for experienced as well as novice anglers and everyone in between. Perfect for all ages! We will be making this trip an annual tradition when we visit Ocean City from now one! Thank you again Captain Dave! See you soon!
