    Captain Tried His Best

    3 Hour Trip – Weekday on July 30, 2026 • 3 adults

    Despite a few rescheduling issues due to weather the trip was fun and memorable.. The Captain did his best to deliver on the fishing experience but the region is heavily fished this time of the year. We all hooked some fish very few keepers but over it was a fun and scenic boat ride on the ocean and the bay.

    Had a wonderful 3 hour trip!

    3 Hour Trip – Weekday on August 6, 2026 • 4 adults

    Wasn’t ideal fishing conditions, it was windier than the captian liked, but we still caught some fish, caught some Blues, Flounder and Stripers. I would definitely use Captain Robert again.

    First time fishing

    3 Hour Trip – Morning Weekend on June 7, 2025 • 4 adults

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Unforgettable Experience! From the moment we met Captain Robert, I felt completely at ease. His calm presence, deep experience, and genuine kindness created the perfect atmosphere for our trip. He was patient, attentive, and made sure we felt safe and supported every step of the way. Though the fish weren’t biting, the energy of the day, the ocean breeze, and his guidance made it an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for more than just a captain—someone who brings both skill and soul to the sea—I highly recommend Captain Robert. 🌊⚓

    The Best Captain

    3 Hour Trip – Afternoon Weekend on May 10, 2025 • 2 adults

    Should you ever want to go fishing in ocean city MD look for Captain Robert Bruff. He us accommodating, sincere and loves to fish. Your skill levels do not matter because he is patient and teaches you with intent. My brother who had never been fishing learnt how to cast a caught a few fish not just one. It was his birthday and I was delighted to have made the right choice. We didn't go during prime time (am or om) but only thanks to Captain Rob that we collectively caught a dozen decent sized fish and a lot of varieties. I'd vouch for him anyway.

    Great Charter Experience

    4 Hour Trip – Weekend on August 23, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Rob really made this experience. he’s very accommodating and experienced. We caught quite a few rockfish (and hooked a keeper). He is well equipped and very knowledgeable. We felt like we were in good hands with a captain who was very passionate about fishing. Will definitely be back!

Nikolaos, It was great to meet and fish with your family. Remember Bonine to help with the motion sickness on the next trip out. Which fish tasted better? The Flounder or The Trigger fish?
