What sets them apart is that Ocean City Girl is a commercial fishing boat and a full-time, year-round professional captain. They run charter trips Spring through Fall and fish commercially the rest of the year.
The boat is a 50’ Davis offshore sport fisher, powered by twin 450 HP Cummins engines. Its spacious design allows even large groups of up to 16 passengers to comfortably fish together. Being a commercial fishing vessel, she’s equipped with all the safety equipment and electronic systems you could think of. The boat also features a private toilet.
To put it simply – this charter knows how to catch fish. Even if it’s not always the species that is targeted, the crew will work hard to show you some action and get you hooked up on something that’s biting.
Depending on the season and your preference, the captain will employ a whole list of techniques and visit a variety of fishing spots available in the rich local fishery. So whether you’re trolling the canyon waters or fishing the wrecks, get ready for some action that will test your skills to the fullest.
Gear, bait, and licenses will be provided by the captain on all trips. All that you need to bring with you are food, drinks and a cooler. Also, remember to dress comfortably for the season you’re fishing in.
All that remains to be done now is to find a date in the captain’s calendar that works for you and book your next fishing adventure today!
