Combining over 4 decades of local experience, we have mastered the waters and know the hottest spots and the best bite.

Hop aboard the Fin Crazy! She's an unsinkable Boston Whaler 320 Outrage center console powered by twin 300 Mercury outboards! She's well equipped with the systems to get you to all the places the fish hide and keep you there! The boat can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people total.

The boat is fully outfitted with a cobia tower during season, trolling motor and the latest and greatest tackle, navigational, safety, and fish-finding electronics and other professional accessories as well as a toilet and freshwater sink for the kids and ladies.

The species you'll target change based on availability and chosen trip. The crew will gladly talk to you and tell you what's going on in advance. It's called fishing, but the crew likes catching just as much as you do! They keep it real and honest.

You will be able to enjoy fishing for Tuna, Marlin, Mahi, Swordfish, Tile Fish, Sea Bass offshore and Cobia, Drum, Sheepshead, Tautog, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Flounder, and more in the nearshore waters.

All trips come with smiles, memories, quality gear and tackle. Just bring your own food, drinks, and the desire to have a good time!

The captain and mate on board always do their best to keep you hooked up. Please note that they both work really hard hours before you get there and after you leave. The mate works for tips, 20% of the trip price is the industry standard.

Fun day of fishing
6 hr Nearshore Trolling/Bottom Fish on September 10, 20242 adults

We had a fun day of fishing. Weather was perfect and the crew was great. Fishing was a little tough but the captain made lots of changes and at the end of the day we had dinner in the cooler. Thanks again for everything.

Full Day Trip
6 hr Trip – Speckled Trout/Reds on June 18, 20223 adults

We went on a near-shore-ish trip on Father's Day weekend with Captain Robert and we had a good time. The fish weren't as cooperative as we wanted them to be but we all learned a lot about being out on the water with a knowledgeable Captain. We still caught some spadefish on light tackle and it was a blast. My dad caught the biggest one and it had that reel screaming at times. I will definitely recommend Captain Robert and hope to be out on the water again with some of my friends with a fly rod.

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for fishing with me! Looking forward to fishing with you again!

I grew up fishing the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean from a young age. I don't have a favorite fish to target, honestly. It depends upon the season and what fishery is hot at the time.
