    Amazing day!

    6 Hour Trip (PM) • 8 adults

    We had such an amazing time, they were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable with everything we needed to know. We caught fish right away and it was just so much fun. This trip is great for anyone looking to try something new and wanting to do something outdoors with a group of people. We are definitely going to book again soon.

    Reported catch:

    Awesome bachelor party trip

    6 Hour Trip (PM) • 12 adults

    Captain and first mate top notch we caught fish from the time the hooks hit the water to time to go. It was crazy to us. The Captain would move us because he thought we weren’t catching enough fish and all by the way in five hours we had 90 fish in the boat. I kind of felt sorry for the first mate. His name was Billy. Captain’s name was FRANK. I felt sorry for him because he cleaned every fish. Awesome trip highly recommend.

    We recently went on a fishing trip with an amazing crew who were not only great but also very attentive. Their excellent service truly made our fishing experience enjoyable and memorable. We had such a fantastic time that we would definitely choose Loosen Up Charters again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful fishing adventure!

    Had a beautiful day on the Bay; caught two stingray but the fish just weren’t interested that day. Captain and crew were extremely professional and informative. They did everything they could to make the experience a great one; which they did. That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching . Would highly recommend this crew. Had a great time with coworkers and the day was perfect.

    Capt. Frank and his first mate John ran a fantastic trip for our new graduate and his buddies. “Best graduation party by far!” The guys had a successful outing with everyone having a chance to catch stripers, and the group catching a ton of big bass. Took home a bunch of fillets (thanks John!) that they fried up that night. Super accommodating for our group. Boat is amazing and the right size to have lots of fishing happening at the same time without feeling at all cramped. Weather was perfect, so once the limit was reached, it was a nice to hang on the beautiful Chesapeake and try to appreciate the milestone. Cheers and Congrats!
