At Schooled Up Charters we offer something for everyone.  From world-class experiences for serious anglers to family trips!

Captain Travis is a friendly and experienced angler. This charter covers the inshore area of the Chesapeake Bay. As a school teacher, he has all the patience in the world for children and loves to run family trips.

You'll be exploring the local waters on board the locally built Judge Yachts center console. She's spacious enough to take on groups of up to 6 guests per trip. It also boasts the latest fish-finding equipment too, so you know you're in good hands.

Additionally, the charter covers your Maryland fishing license. You can bring your own snacks and water and, if you get lucky, you'll get to keep your prized catch. What's more, the crew will help you with the cleaning!

We use only the highest quality fishing rods and reels as well as tackle! No need to bring any gear on board. Just bring your food and drink. We have an iced cooler on board for your food/drink too!

    Great experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Family (PM) on August 2, 2024 • 5 adults

    This was a great trip. My fiancé and our three teens got a lot of experience catching fish. The captain and his first mate were very knowledgeable and patient teachers. The captain was also in the lookout for potential bad weather. I appreciate that he was able to let us know we may need to move up or schedule due to incoming storms - which means the safety of his passengers is his priority. We will definitely book another trip with him!

    Wonderful experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Family (PM) on July 6, 2024 • 3 adults

    Captain Travis was very kind and carefully taught us how to fish. He was also very flexible with how we wanted to. The boat was very clean and fishing rod and reel which we borrowed were nice as well. I have ever tried many deep sea fishing in many countries however, this was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had. I deeply appreciate for this opportunity to Captain.

    4 Hour Family Fun Trip AM on June 15, 2024 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Travis and Nick were so good to us! Communication was great, when the weather was questionable he did everything to accommodate us, we went to bottom fish and ended up going for rockfish! What a fabulous day! An evening trip made it a beautiful sunset to see as well! Thank you, Captain, and we will see you again!

    5 Hour Trip – Light Tackle (PM) on June 11, 2024 • 4 adults

    Great captain. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He got us on the bite and kept us on the bite despite unfavorable weather conditions. We wanted a day trip but he recommended the evening trip when he learned that my sons wanted to catch Rockfish. We listened to the Captain and did not regret it!!! Wonderful trip!!

    Perfect Trip for Kids of All Ages

    Kids Trip on July 20, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Took this trip with my 8 year old and my extended family. We didn't have to go far from the dock and the Spot hit almost immediately. There was consistent action the entire 3 hours. It's the perfect length for beginners or fishing with small children.

    Captain Travis put my grandson and I on fish!

    4 Hour Family Fun Trip AM on June 17, 2024 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Travis customized a fishing experience for my grandson and I, he worked with challenging wind conditions, and put us in a good location to catch fish. He and his deck hand Nick taught us the right fishing techniques, we caught some nice stripers, and it was a fun and memorable experience.
