There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so an 18–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If you have any questions about fishing with Chesapeake Bay Outdoors, just send Capt. Damon a message!
