Sons first boat fishing trip

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (MD) on August 5, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

10/10 I booked this for my son’s 10th birthday. He has fished in lakes and ponds, but I knew he would love a sea fishing trip. I booked the inshore 3 hour trip with Captain Don and my husband said it was amazing. I ended up letting them have a father son fishing day and I saw the pictures. Nothing but smiles from my son. My husband said Captain Don is super good with kids. He caught five fish.. I also didn’t know they clean them, skin them, descale them, and vaccine pack them if you want. Good to know if you are traveling and can take them home. I also found out there are restraints that you can take the fish too and they will cook them for a price and serve them to you! So cool!

Fish On with Captain Don

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (MD) on June 20, 2025 • 4 adults

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Inshore Fishing Experience with Captain Don! We had an unforgettable day on the water thanks to Captain Don! From the moment we stepped on the boat, it was clear we were in great hands. Don is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters, but he’s also personable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. What really stood out was his determination to put us on fish. He worked nonstop—changing spots, adjusting tactics, and sharing tips—to make sure we had the best possible chance at landing some great catches. And we did! the scenery was beautiful, and the company couldn’t have been better. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just getting your feet wet, Captain Don makes everyone feel welcome and excited to be out there. He went above and beyond to ensure our trip was successful and enjoyable. If you’re thinking about booking an inshore trip, don’t hesitate—Captain Don is the one you want. Can’t wait to go back out with him again!

Gran pesca

6 Hour Trip – Extended(AM) on July 27, 2025 • 4 adults

Excelente momento, fue amable y el capitán nos indicó cada detalle de cómo pescar, además de darnos referencia de los peces sacados, agarramos uno enorme de 27” pero por reglamento debimos regresarlo, fue emocionante y divertido, volveremos con nuestro capitán dom , sacamos 6 peces de más de 20” y casi sacamos un “cazón” o tiburón bebe, pero se nos escapó casi llegando el naylon al barco, recomendaría indicar al Momento de la pesca si el sitio a donde nos dirigiremos será alta mar o cercano

10/10 would book with Dauphins Charters again.

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 30, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

He had us on fish immediately. This was definitely on my and my wife’s bucket list to catch some salt water fish and the variety we caught with him was a great diversity which made it that much more fun for us and our daughter as well. We can’t thank Captain Don enough for this adventure and experience thank you for everything and God Bless

Captain Don was very patient and kind

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (MD) on July 9, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children

Booked a 3 hour trip with my 13 year old son and his friend. It was their first time fishing outside of pond hopping. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Captain Don was very kind and patient. The boys had a great time. I enjoyed the trip and the best part was them talking about it on the way back to the beach house.
