We had an amazing fishing trip for my son’s birthday! I took him along with 3 of his friends, and they had an absolute blast from start to finish. The Captain could not have been nicer or more helpful. He was patient, knowledgeable, fun, and made sure the boys had a great experience the entire time.

Everything was well organized, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the Captain went above and beyond to help the kids catch fish and enjoy themselves. He made the trip exciting while also making everyone feel safe and welcome. The boys are still talking about it and already asking when we can go again!

This was such a memorable birthday experience, and I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, family friendly fishing trip. Thank you for making my son’s birthday so special!

We had an amazing trip with Captain David! As first-time rockfish anglers, we really appreciated how patient, knowledgeable, and informative he was. He made the experience easy, entertaining and enjoyable while sharing his expertise along the way.

Best of all, we caught our limit and had a great time doing it! Captain David clearly knows what he’s doing, and we highly recommend booking a trip with him. A fantastic experience from start to finish!

Caught Strippers and Catfish.  Captain Dave was very professional but also easy going.  He seemed very knowledgeable about fishing the Chesapeake Bay area. Me and my two sons had a great time on the water.  Looking forward to the next time we can go out with Chasing Dreams again. 🎣

I booked this charter for my son’s birthday and my only hope was that he’d catch at least one big fish — and it far exceeded every expectation!! The boat was spotless and thoughtfully organized and ready to go at arrival. The captain was responsive to all messages, professional, kind, and prioritized our safety from the start. He shared tons of knowledge throughout the day for a fully immersive fishing experience. I’d also note that for having children aboard, he was a perfect fit and showed complete patience, and even shared their joy. It’s clear that he truly loves what he’s doing and is eager to share it with others.

So on our ride home, I asked my son what he thought about the trip, and what he said next spoke louder than anything else I could say…. “I feel like the captain was being himself and is just a really genuine person.” For a teenage boy with big fish chasing dreams, who had just reeled in his bigggest fish, it was ultimately the captain’s character that came to mind first for how his day felt so special. We came home with memories we’ll never forget and a cooler full of fish! Needless to say, we won’t be booking with any other Captain in the area from here on out.

We showed up early and left early, captain liked that. Captain Dave is very friendly and engaging. Had boat ready to go. We made it to his fishing hole and caught 7 Rockfish in about 2 hours (could only keep 3 so released the biggest and best unfortunately), then went after Black Drum about 30 minutes south. Had a few hits but none hooked there. Got back to dock about dusk where Capt Dave fillets the catch and bags the meat for us. Highly recommend his trips.  I do recommend ear plugs if youre sensative to noise as the deisel is very noisy.
