No, we pay for a license that covers everyone on the boat.

Trip lengths vary from 4 to 8 hrs. We have both morning and afternoon start times. Additional time can be added to extend your fishing experience.

All our spring and summer trophy Redfish and Cobia trips are 6 hours, but additional time can be added for an additional charge. Because we only run one trip a day during these seasons, this can be an on the water decision if needed during your trip!

Water and Gatorade are provided… We have a cooler for your adult beverages on the boat if you wish to bring some. Bring whatever makes your day on the water enjoyable. We often recommend your favorite snacks or drinks (no glass please), a hat, quality polarized sunglasses like SMITH, nonslip shoes (no black soles please), appropriate clothing for the weather (including rain gear if it's in the forecast), sunscreen (please do not bring spray sunscreen), a camera to capture the epic moments. Also, any medication you may need.

We are all professional USCG and Maryland DNR licensed and first aid certified captains. We love to fish and love to see our clients catch a ton of fish. We provide the best fishing experience on the Chesapeake Bay. All top-of-the-line tackle and bait is on board for you to use. We are on the pro programs or sponsored by some of the best tackle manufacturers in the world. Our boats have the latest and best electronics, radars, equipment, and tackle plus our captains know the best “spots” to make your day successful.

Our charters come with a fishing license for all guests, all gear necessary, water and ice in a cooler and include fish cleaning services.

Our trips vary in cost because we have lots of different trips. Family and kids, walk-on trips, custom trips, fly-fishing trips all are different price levels. 100% FAIR pricing PLUS great and safe trips for ALL our clients is our philosophy.

We tailor every trip to make sure our client’s charter trip exceeds expectations and our captains go the extra mile to facilitate that!!

Fish have tails and we move when they move. We have different meeting locations depending on the fish, the time of year and weather. We launch anywhere from Annapolis to Point Lookout in Maryland. Most trips launch from either Marina West in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland or the public boat ramp in Solomons Island, Maryland.

In season and legal size, yes. BUT We strongly encourage Catch and Release on our trips! Keeping legal fish for the dinner is 100% up to you.

We will clean and bag the fish for you, and this is included in your trip.

Mother Nature, our captains and the USCG will make the call. A Small Craft Warning is a no-go situation, 100%. Our captains have the final call on the weather. If conditions are less than ideal for the scheduled trip, we will first offer a different location or style of trip. If the weather forces us to cancel you will be given the chance to reschedule your trip or receive a refund on your deposit.

We’re very flexible as long as it's done within reason and covered by our policy. Rescheduling is subject to availability. We understand life happens so we will do our best to work with changes in your schedule. Please review our cancellation policy prior to booking your trip.

The captains work hard to make sure you have a great time and a 15-20% gratuity is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work and are not included in our pricing. They are guides, not gods. They cannot control the weather or make fish jump on your hook. They are 100% committed to providing a 5-STAR charter trip for every angler. If there is anything they can do to ensure you have a great trip, just let them know.

They are different fish we can target on almost all trips, and our work is not done and your trip is not over if we reach a limit on one species of fish.

If equipment is lost or neglectfully broken we would welcome reimbursing us at replacement value.

Our most common targets include striped bass (rockfish), redfish, bluefish, perch, and other seasonal Chesapeake Bay species. Target species depend on the time of year and conditions.
