Excited to cast a line in Ocean City? That's what Day On The Bay Charters is here for! Captain Josh will be your guide, giving you access to years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Clam, Sheepshead, Crab, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Skate, Speckled Trout, Weakfish, and plenty more. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there's bowfishing.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks!

You'll be casting lines from a 30' Lowe pontoon boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. Its very stable, safe and comfortable, and comes with all the essentials. Capt. Josh has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The fishing license is provided, that covers the entire boat. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Day On The Bay Charters!

2hr afternoon delight on June 13, 20266 adults

We came for our bachelorette trip, we didn’t catch any fish but a couple crabs. Captain Josh was really nice and we had great conversations on boat. The airshow was going on too so it was a nice little bonus. We will definitely be back. Thank you for taking us & we will definitely be back for that longer evening trip! Thanks Captain ❤️

Response from Captain

thank you and best wishes for your wedding. see yall soon.

Good time and relaxing
2hr early bird special. on June 30, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Josh made it easy. We asked questions. We learned. All four of us fished. We only caught two sea bass and lots of little crabs. Nothing large enough to keep unfortunately. But it was a good time. We did the 7 am two hour tour on the bay. We would do it again. All the equipment was in good working order. The captain had lots of knowledge of the craft and the area. Thanks again.

Amazing Morning on the Water with Captain Josh
2hr kids special on July 7, 20252 adults2 children

Captain Josh's life long experience and love of the sea brings an experience that will make your trip! My 10 year son has wanted to go clamming and Captain Josh made sure it was the trip of a lifetime. He was so kind to modify our experience as my neuro sensitive child was very apprehensive, and, there was a tropical storm coming in. I cannot properly express the grins and sheer joy Josh gave our family. Josh's keen eye saw a family of porpoises...they had been playing possum with the crowds..to my children's delight, and mine!, ,they softly played next to us. The ponies were out to play so we had the added treasure of seeing them on our way. Wow!! We were soooo close. Josh redirected our trip with the weather...we headed out to a safe place and we found clam after clam , and some AMAZING shells along the way. Captain Josh was someone who you will call a friend upon departure. We learned so much about the surrounding area, we had an absolute ball. We love you, Captain Josh! And are really looking forward to your ideas for our next family voyage with you! Thank you!

Great company
2hr kids special on July 3, 20263 adults2 children

Capt. Josh is a super nice and knowledgeable guy. We did a family trip with him on the bay and he put us on a sand shark, flounder and a number of black sea bass. Stable boat perfect with little kids. Highly recommend for a morning or afternoon on the bay!
