About
*Only YOUR group will be on the boat (i.e. private)
*Bait, rods, tackle, onboard fish cooler, and fish filleting included in the price.
Fish filleting services are NOT available for ""bottom fish"" (i.e. Spot, Perch, Croaker, Whiting). Catches for these are often vast in numbers and simply take too long to clean everything, especially since we have back to back trips booked most of the time. IF you require fish cleaning for bottom fishing, be sure to mention it before booking and we MAY be able to accommodate your request for an additional fee.
More info
*Gratuity (Tip) for the mate is NOT optional 20% of the total cost is the standard and is not included in the price. The mate works very hard before, during, and after your charter and they rely on tips to make their living. For parties of 12 or more people a 20% gratuity will automatically be added to your bill when you pay the final balance
Adventure Tips
Bring layered clothing
Weather on the Chesapeake Bay can change quickly; dress in layers to stay comfortable throughout the day.
Stay hydrated
Pack plenty of water, especially during summer charters to avoid dehydration under the sun.
Safety first with alcohol
Alcohol consumption is allowed but must be responsible—intoxication is prohibited for safety reasons and can end your trip early.
Use sunscreen generously
Open water reflects UV rays intensely; apply and reapply sunscreen to protect your skin during long hours outdoors.
