crab trip

Trot Line Crabbing!!!!4 adults2 children

We had an absolute blast catching crabs with Captain Mason! I originally booked this trip for my little girl’s birthday, but I think I ended up having the most fun. Captain Mason was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and great with kids. He made the experience enjoyable for everyone while teaching us so much along the way. The boat ride was smooth and comfortable, and the pace was perfect for our family. I had my 2-year-old and 5-year-old daughters with me, and they stayed entertained the entire time. It was such a memorable experience, and we can’t wait to come back and do it again!

    Spot, not Dot

    Kids Fishing 3 hour - 4:00 PM2 adults

    Great afternoon on the Crab Burner! Captain Mason put us on the fish right away, and was great with our boys (10 and 8). The boat is dialed in for the bay, its fast and had plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 kids. Mason worked to diversify our experience after getting on a hot bite early. We caught several species and checked a few crab pots on our way in. The boys helped measure (and keep) some big crabs! We had such a good time we booked a second trip for later in the week before the first was over. Mason cleaned and packed up the fish we kept. Great experience for our whole group.

    We had an absolutely incredible experience with Crab Burner Charters! Captain Mason was fantastic from start to finish. He kept everyone on the boat entertained, involved, and laughing the entire trip, especially our two boys (ages 6 and 8). The fishing was outstanding, and Captain Mason made sure the kids had every opportunity to catch fish and have fun. His patience, knowledge, and ability to keep young kids engaged made the trip unforgettable. Our boys haven’t stopped talking about it and are already asking when we can go again! If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter with an amazing captain who knows how to put you on the fish and make sure everyone has a great time, Crab Burner Charters is the one to book. We can’t recommend Captain Mason enough!

    Highly Recommend Crab Burner Charters

    Kids Fishing 3 hour - 12:00 PM6 adults1 child

    We had a great experience with Crab Burner Charters today on a 3-hour fishing trip in the bay. I took my two sons, and as beginners, we weren't quite sure what to expect. Captain Mason immediately made us feel comfortable, explained everything clearly, and had us fishing confidently in no time. Even better, we were catching fish almost right away, which made the trip exciting for all of us. Captain Mason was patient, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. I would highly recommend Crab Burner Charters to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable fishing trip in the Dewey Beach area.

    Awesome trip for kids or beginners

    Kids Fishing 3 hour - 12:00 PM6 adults3 children

    Captain Nick was great and is very knowledgeable! 3 kids (5, 7, and 8 y.o.) and 3 adults. 2 of the kids didn't want to fish but capt. Nick did a great job keeping up with the rest of us and gave us great tips to be more successful anglers. We bent rods on spot fish and a couple other species, but no keeper fish. We did check 2 crab pots and came home with 11 crabs that were delicious. Highly recommended for kids or newbies who want to wet a line and hook some fish. Not necessarily negatives, but the captain acts as the 1st mate and there isn't a canopy on the boat.
