Kids Fishing 3 hour - 12:00 PM on June 20, 20265 adults1 child

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.

Trot Line Crabbing!!!! on June 14, 20262 adults2 children

We had an absolute blast catching crabs with Captain Mason! I originally booked this trip for my little girl’s birthday, but I think I ended up having the most fun. Captain Mason was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and great with kids. He made the experience enjoyable for everyone while teaching us so much along the way. The boat ride was smooth and comfortable, and the pace was perfect for our family. I had my 2-year-old and 5-year-old daughters with me, and they stayed entertained the entire time. It was such a memorable experience, and we can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Fantastic Experience
Kids Fishing 3 hour - 4:00 PM on June 18, 20264 adults2 children

We booked this trip for our daughters 7th birthday and Captain Mason did not disappoint. He was very accommodating, even with a scheduling error (that was 100% my fault). He took the time to explain to my daughter about the flounder that was caught and cleaned it and everything for her. The weather conditions were less than ideal (high wind) but the vibes were on and we all had an amazing time. If you aren't booking this charter, you are missing out.

Captain Mason was wonderful! He was extremely accommodating when we needed to reschedule and then was the perfect captain for a crabbing trip with young children who had lots of questions! The kids were blown away by all the crabs they caught. I highly recommend this experience to anyone with children looking for a special adventure.

4 hour kids fishing and crabbing on July 5, 20252 adults2 children

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend Crab Burner Charters! We had an incredible experience with Captain Mason of Crab Burner Charters! He went above and beyond with the boys—super knowledgeable, patient, and really took the time to teach them all about crabbing and fishing. The kids loved getting up close with the crabs and learning the ropes, and Mason made the entire trip fun, educational, and exciting. He specializes in kids fishing trips, and you can really tell he loves what he does. The boys are already talking about our next trip with him—we will definitely be back again soon! If you're looking for a great family-friendly charter that’s perfect for kids (and adults too), don’t hesitate to book with Mason. 10/10 experience!
