  An Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure with Captain Jim and Tom! 🎣

  4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 12, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an excellent fishing trip with Captain Jim and deckhand Tom! I brought my two sons and daughter, and they made sure everyone had a great time. Jim was knowledgeable, friendly, and put us right on the fish. Tom was fantastic with the kids—patient, helpful, and always ready to bait a hook or lend a hand. The boat was clean, the crew was professional, and the entire experience was fun from start to finish. We made some wonderful family memories and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommended—and be sure to ask Captain Jim how much he loves ice cream! 🍦

  What a trip!

  4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 12, 2026 • 6 adults

  I'll start by saying that Captain McGeehan was great! He's funny and interesting. Most of all, he actually gives a damn about his charters! He went above and beyond to ensure that we were having a nice time. He made sure that the weather was optimal for our excursion. He went out of his way to make sure that we were catching fish, and boy did we catch some fish! Our first mate, Derrick kept our lines in tract, or hooks baited and even caught a massive flounder! 22 inches! The boat was everything we needed and more. Comfy ride, even in medium chop. We had a terrific time and look forward to hanging out with Captain McGeehan again. I urge you, book your trips now! Once others catch on, you'll have a hard time snagging a trip with the best Captain in Delaware!

  Great trip!

  12 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 13, 2026 • 5 adults

  We had a great trip with Steve and Derek on the Rusty Reel. They did a great job with managing the timing of things throughout the day, keeping things moving and ultimately helping our group of 5 with having a great full day out to the canyons. Several first time folks in the group. We caught 1 tuna within minutes of being out. After that we were a little slow for an hour or so and pivoted to Tile fish (caught 23 of them). Then the captain said lets move and get back into Tuna this afternoon before the day is shot. Caught 2 more tuna because of that call. Great boat and crew.

  We spent the day fishing with Steve and Terry and had a lot of fun. Tuna weren’t in so we didnt waste a lot of time trying. He took is to a place where we caught plenty of tilefish and Mahi Mahi. We all had a great time. Thanks Again!

  Great day & Great crew

  4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 16, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  Went out with the family (four adults and two children) for a four hour trip and was pleased with the patience and kindness of Captain Steve and First Mate Derrick. They both took the time to work with the new anglers (12 and six year old) to ensure they had a good time (it is amazing how well your kids listen to others). We had a great time and plan to re-book in the future.
