Day On The Bay Charters
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!

Caitlyn Magee5.0VerifiedAwesome Time
2hr fishing/cruise -brunch special on July 14, 2026 • 4 adultsWe had an awesome time on this fishing trip! The whole experience was relaxed, fun, and exactly what we were hoping for. The captain was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable, He kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable while making sure we had every opportunity to catch fish. We never felt rushed, and it was clear he genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. We made some great memories and would absolutely book another trip. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a laid-back day on the water with a great captain!
Jaime Schlegel5.0Verifiedso much fun!!
2 hr happy hour on August 7, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptin Josh was awesome! My 4 kids and I had a very nice cruise out to some great fishing spots. The water was extremely busy due to the White Marlin boating contest and Captin Josh navigating us through the traffic was flawless. He educated us on homes, history and taught kids how to fish in the bay. My one daughter caught a pregnant blue crab and he took time to teach us all and show us her “sponge” like egg sack. Thank you for a wonderful trip Captin Josh!! We will definitely reach back out for future rides when OCMD.
Tammy Bullied5.0VerifiedCaptain Josh was great!
2hr kids special on September 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Josh was very knowledgeable, patient and generous with his bait. Only complaint with my husband was that the women got all the fish (Me) LOL. He took us in the areas that were good spots. My catch for the 2hr trip was 3 Flounder, a Seabass and 2 crabs. I had one Flounder that was 18” that Josh quickly and professionally cleaned for us, bagged it up for us to take home. We will definitely look up Josh nexf year when we return. We all enjoyed our trip!
Matthew Hayes5.0VerifiedBest trip ever!
2hr fishing/cruise -brunch special on September 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenThe Captain was AMAZING! My wife and I took our daughter, her husband and two children, and the captain was great with the kids, a two year-old and a seven-year-old. We even got to do a little sightseeing! We got his business card so the next time we’re back in the area we can make sure we book with him. Great memories were made today. If you’re thinking about going, this is the guy to book. He is fantastic!
Gina Shade4.7VerifiedGood time and relaxing
2hr early bird special. on June 30, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain 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.
Susan Anders5.0VerifiedAlways fun with Capt Josh!
2hr afternoon delight on September 12, 2026 • 6 adultsCapt Josh takes you wherever you want to go, will stop on the beach so you can swim, or stop at the bar to grab drinks or food or what we did, which was just float around the bay for 2 hours with good stories and drinks in the cooler.
Gregory Young5.0VerifiedWhat a great time!
2hr fishing/cruise -brunch special on June 30, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenNot everyone caught a fish but thats why they call it fishing and not catching. The captain was a great guy and worked hard for us. He had good knowledge and stories. If we're ever in tbe area again, we'll definitely book another trip.
Kaitlin Cribbs5.0VerifiedHighlight of our trip!

Kristin Dare5.0VerifiedGreat family evening!
Sun set special on August 5, 2026 • 4 adultsWe did the sunset trip. The captain was very nice and knowledgable. We had a ton of bites but we reeled in some crabs. Even had bites from a stingray and shark! Will definitely book with him again.
