Great afternoon on the Crab Burner! Captain Mason put us on the fish right away, and was great with our boys (10 and 8). The boat is dialed in for the bay, its fast and had plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 kids. Mason worked to diversify our experience after getting on a hot bite early. We caught several species and checked a few crab pots on our way in. The boys helped measure (and keep) some big crabs! We had such a good time we booked a second trip for later in the week before the first was over. Mason cleaned and packed up the fish we kept. Great experience for our whole group.
Captain Nick was great and is very knowledgeable! 3 kids (5, 7, and 8 y.o.) and 3 adults. 2 of the kids didn't want to fish but capt. Nick did a great job keeping up with the rest of us and gave us great tips to be more successful anglers. We bent rods on spot fish and a couple other species, but no keeper fish. We did check 2 crab pots and came home with 11 crabs that were delicious. Highly recommended for kids or newbies who want to wet a line and hook some fish. Not necessarily negatives, but the captain acts as the 1st mate and there isn't a canopy on the boat.
captain Mason was fantastic! He was incredibly patient, friendly, and amazing with our two kids, making sure they had a great time from start to finish. We caught spot, croaker, flounder, and a few other fish and I even caught a crab on my line... which was a fun surprise! My 10-year-old said it was the best experience he's ever had and that says it all. We highly recommend this trip to anyone. especially families with kids. We'll definitely be back!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Crab Burner Charters! Captain Mason was fantastic from start to finish. He kept everyone on the boat entertained, involved, and laughing the entire trip, especially our two boys (ages 6 and 8). The fishing was outstanding, and Captain Mason made sure the kids had every opportunity to catch fish and have fun. His patience, knowledge, and ability to keep young kids engaged made the trip unforgettable. Our boys haven’t stopped talking about it and are already asking when we can go again! If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter with an amazing captain who knows how to put you on the fish and make sure everyone has a great time, Crab Burner Charters is the one to book. We can’t recommend Captain Mason enough!
We had a great experience with Crab Burner Charters today on a 3-hour fishing trip in the bay. I took my two sons, and as beginners, we weren't quite sure what to expect. Captain Mason immediately made us feel comfortable, explained everything clearly, and had us fishing confidently in no time. Even better, we were catching fish almost right away, which made the trip exciting for all of us. Captain Mason was patient, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. I would highly recommend Crab Burner Charters to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable fishing trip in the Dewey Beach area.
