 Inlet Isle Lane 12940, Ocean City, MD 21842, United States

Book your next trip with 30 Deep Sportfishing and find out what makes the fishing in Ocean City so unique. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Stephen knows them forwards and back.

These waters are known for Little Tunny (False Albacore), Atlantic Mackerel, Blue Marlin, Bluefish, Swordfish, White Marlin, Tilefish, Bigeye Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! On the day of your trip you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks to keep their stamina going!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 48’ Ocean Yacht sportfishing with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It’s recommended to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

8 Hour Trip on July 1, 2025

Beautiful boat, comfortable AC, and Captain Steve kindly tried hard to make sure we each caught a fish. We all did. Even a very early season white marlin!! With lots of fun fanfare back at the dock. Even was flexible to change dates last minute due to weather forecast. Highly recommend. Thank you Captain Steve!

Great Day with Captain Steve & First Mate Ethan!

12 Hour Trip on September 14, 2024

We had an amazing day out of Ocean City, Maryland on this charter fishing boat! We caught tuna, mahi, and tile fish – a great variety that kept things exciting. Our kids (15 and 10) had an absolute blast. The captain and mate were not only super knowledgeable, but also a lot of fun, which made the whole trip even better. They were great with the kids, really patient and engaging, and made sure everyone was involved. Can’t recommend this trip enough for families or anyone looking to reel in some serious fish and have a great time doing it!

The Best Fishing Trip Hands down!!! I was on a bachelor party fishing trip with the cast and crew of 30 DEEP, let me tell you all, hearing the words “Fish On!!!” was an understatement. My friends and I never had caught so many fish in one day and on one charter. The knowledge and expertise of the Captain and crew were very professional .10 out of 10 experience we will book again without a doubt a big thank you to Mate Marvelous Mike and Mate Ethan these guys go above and beyond. If you are wondering what charter to book, look no further Thanks again 30DEEP for the fishing trip that we still talk about!!

I'm sorry you did not enjoy your experience with us. We covered ALOT or territory in search of tuna and sea bass for your crew. We also spent an extra hour on your 8 hour trip looking for fish. Inshore fishing is never a guarantee, but I know for a fact that myself and my crew do everything they can to make things happen, unfortunately it doesn't always work out.
