About Your Trip

Get ready for an exhilarating day of offshore action with Captain Doug in Ocean City, MD! Whether you're a seasoned angler with a love for big-game thrills or a first-timer looking to reel in your first tuna, this trip has it all. Captain Doug’s crew prides itself on offering a truly interactive fishing experience, so you can choose exactly how involved you want to be. Want to hook your own line, bait the rods, and feel the full thrill of the chase? Or maybe you'd prefer to sit back, relax, and just enjoy the thrill of reeling in a powerful fish. Whatever your preference, Captain Doug’s team will make it happen.

You’ll be fishing aboard a sleek 41' Regulator custom-built in 2017. This boat is a true offshore machine, fully equipped with top-of-the-line electronics and safety gear to get you out to the canyons with ease. Powered by four mighty 350 HP Yamaha outboards, it can slice through the waves, making quick work of the run to deep blue waters or pivoting to hit inshore wrecks and reefs if the conditions call for it. With ample deck space and a layout designed for serious fishing, this boat has everything you need for a day of chasing giants.

Once you reach the canyons, you’ll be in prime territory for White and Blue Marlin, Yellowfin and Bigeye Tuna, and the occasional Mahi Mahi or Wahoo. Captain Doug and his crew know these waters well and will use their expertise to put you right on top of the action. They’re equipped with the latest in Penn and Shimano gear. Their spread is designed to maximize your chances, whether trolling, chunking, or drifting — every setup is ready for whatever the day’s conditions call for.

Captain Doug is all about customizing the trip to suit your style. If you want the hands-on experience, they'll teach you how to bait the hook, set the line, and even guide you through the gaffing process when your fish comes boat-side. If you're just here to feel that rod bend and take home some incredible memories (and hopefully a trophy catch), you can trust the crew to handle the rest.
