lots of fish

8 Hour Trip5 adults

We had a great experience with Master Sportfishing. Captain Mike moved frequently to ensure we were on fish. The five of us fishing landed well over 100 fish on the day. Although most of the fish did not meet the size restrictions for sea bass or flounder, which is primarily what we caught, we still brought home enough for a few meals. First mate Marty kept our lines in the water as well. We had a great trip.

    Family Fun!!!

    4 hr PM4 adults2 children

    From booking, to arrival and the trip itself, everything was so easy! Captain Mike was friendly and asked what kind of experience we wanted to have. We had our preteen daughter and our niece with us, they were looking forward to having a fun day fishing on the ocean. That is exactly what we all got. We caught more fish than I could keep track of and had a bunch that we were able to keep to eat. The first mate and mate in training were very professional and friendly. They kept fresh bait on our hooks and took care of unhooking the fish we did catch. We even caught a decent size shark! We had an amzing experience and made many amazing memories. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it!

    Fishing for any occasion!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults

    For my 50th birthday, we headed to Bethany Beach to celebrate with family, and my wife surprised me with a four‑hour fishing charter for me, her cousin, and his son. Despite us running a little late, Captain Mike was incredibly flexible and welcoming. We climbed aboard his beautiful 38-foot vessel and he walked us through three different fishing options. We chose “lots of action with an edible catch,” and he absolutely delivered. For four straight hours, with the help of Captain Mike and his daughter, we were reeling them in nonstop. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and family‑friendly, and we never went more than a few minutes without a bite. When we got back to shore, Captain Mike even offered us the chance to purchase fresh lobster to go with our catch. That evening we cooked up the fish and lobster for a birthday feast—it was the perfect end to an unforgettable day, and everything was absolutely delicious.

    Good trip for beginner youth fishing

    4 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

    We caught a bunch of Croakers, Spot, and small Weakfish. Over 50 fish in a couple of hours. Pretty much non-stop. Also caught a 60 pound shark. Great for beginner youth fishing. First mate Ellie was very helpful and patient. And Captain cleaned fish at end for incredibly reasonable charge ($0.50 per fish). Trip is not inexpensive, but given fuel costs and maintenance, makes sense and certainly competitive with other charters. Also Captain Mike’s boat is larger than most. 38 foot so if you want to get out of sun you can.

    Wonderful Captain and Mate

    4 Hour Trip – Shark - 3:30 PM3 adults

    The weather didn’t cooperate — rough seas and all — but honestly, that ended up being part of the story. The vessel handled the conditions like it was built for exactly that, which gave us real confidence out there. The captain and mate are the kind of crew you hope to get. They kept the trip upbeat, stayed on the fish even with the chop working against us, and we walked away having landed two sharks — not bad for a tough weather day. What made it memorable, though, was that they wove in some local history along the way. It wasn’t a lecture; it was the kind of context that makes a place feel richer. If you want a charter where the crew genuinely invests in your experience — not just the catch — this is it. We’ll be back.
