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.

From start to finish, your trip is designed to maximize your time on the water and create the kind of memories that keep you coming back.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
