Meet Your Crew
Captain Dave is a lifelong Ocean City fisherman who grew up on these waters and now shares that passion with guests from all over the country. Capt. Dave lived in OC during the summer months growing up until going away to college. As a father of five sons, he understands exactly how to keep kids engaged, safe, and smiling on the boat.
Mate Connor, Captain Dave’s son, has grown up fishing alongside his father all over the Eastern Shore of Maryland and has spent countless hours chasing flounder in Ocean City. Mate Frank is an OC local with years of experience fishing these waters and working with anglers of all ages. Frank and Connor share mate duties on trips, ensuring hands-on help throughout the day.

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.

Great first day out on the boat
3Hr Back Bay (10:15AM - 1:15PM) on June 4, 2025 • 5 adults
We fished the early afternoon. Everyone caught something, but only one keeper. Captain Dave really worked hard to get us into the fish, moving multiple times to find some action. First Mate Frank had us ready at all times, baiting hooks and fixing snags and retrying lines when needed. I took four of my kids on the fishing trip and Captain Dave and Frank were great with them, teaching and helping while providing great conversation the whole trip. We didn’t even make it to the car and the kids were already talking about wanting to get up at 5am to go out again with Captain Dave to really get into the fish! Very good family atmosphere with the private charter. I can’t imagine having a better experience out on the water. We’ll be out with Captain Dave the next time we are back in town for sure. Many yhanks Nanticoke Outfitters, First Mate Frank and most importantly Captain Dave for giving us an experience we will never forget!

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!
