About Your Guide

William Powell

Independent Guide

Born and raised on the Eastern Shore, Captain Will has spent his life fishing, hunting, and working the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. From skiffs to tugboats, his experience runs deep—and now, as a USCG-licensed captain, he brings that expertise to every charter. Whether it’s your first time holding a rod or your hundredth trip on the water, Capt. Will is focused on giving you a fun, personal, and memorable day of fishing.

His passion for the Bay is matched by his ability to put anglers on fish. From understanding seasonal patterns to selecting the right lures or bait, he’s dialed in and ready to help you make the most of your trip.

You’ll fish aboard a 23' custom center console built for performance and comfort. Cruising at up to 40 knots, it’s fast enough to stay on the bite and roomy enough for up to five anglers. Depending on the season and target species, you’ll fish using artificial lures, cut bait, or live bait—all with light tackle custom-built by Capt. Will himself.
