Tortuga Bay Fishing

We went on a trip with Tortuga on July 22nd. My 85 yr old father is in a wheelchair. He’s been asking about doing a boat fishing trip for some time, so I surprised him with this trip while visiting Ocean City. I messaged ahead to make sure they could accommodate him. They were able to answer all my questions so that I was satisfied that this boat and staff was the right choice for us. They let him board first, he was able to walk with his walker over the ramp and step down one step into the boat with the help of the staff. One young man was so helpful getting him to the back of the boat using the railing and holding him on to him on the other side so he didn’t fall (saying he was used to it with his grandfather). Another brought his transport wheelchair to the back for him to sit in once he got back there. He fished off the back of the boat (clear of bench seating) from his chair. He has arthritis in his hands and they helped him putting the bait on until my sister was comfortable doing it. They also checked on him, as well as, everyone on the boat to offer help reeling the fish in when one was caught. They were all so friendly, patient, fun, and helpful that it made the trip such an awesome time. He had several catches but none met the size requirements to keep; so, it’ll be his goal for next year. We will definitely use this company next time and would encourage others to also.

We were lucky enough to take a trip out Labor Day weekend & it was the best way to end our trip! From start to finish we knew we were in good hands, especially with all the location changes to ensure we were going to get a catch. We’ve been home for almost a month now and to this day we continue to mimic the captions orders “surge we need you up front” — I even had a shirt made. Surge was so nice & someone we won’t forget. Luckily we got a picture with him too! Absolutely recommend.

Myself and 2 girls 9 and 7 years old had a blast fishing aboard Tortuga! Captain took us to many locations looking for the best flounder fishing spots. Everyone caught something! Sergey the boatman was attentive to everyone on board, always busy helping bring in the fish, replenishing bait on hooks, cheering everyone on! Three hours of beautiful scenery, fresh air and lots of fishing success! My girls were so happy catching different kinds of fish! I highly recommend this outing for your family.
