About Your Trip

For those ready to spend a full day chasing some of the most thrilling game fish the Atlantic has to offer, this 12-hour offshore adventure with Captain Doug is as good as it gets. Departing at 5:00 AM from Ocean City, Maryland, this trip takes you 30 to 60 miles offshore into prime bluewater territory where big fish roam—and big memories are made.

With over 15 years of experience and a reputation for putting anglers on the bite, Captain Doug knows exactly how to make the most of a day offshore. You’ll be fishing aboard a powerful 50’ Custom Carolina Buddy Harris, equipped with brand-new 650 FPT engines that power through the chop with ease. High-end Garmin electronics and autopilot help lock in on the fish and stay in the zone, giving you the best odds at landing a trophy.

Depending on the season and conditions, you could be trolling through deep blue water for Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, White and Blue Marlin, or vibrant, high-flying Mahi-Mahi (Dolphin). The crew uses a wide spread of lures and bait, working every angle to draw big predators up from the depths. For anglers looking to target something even more elusive, daytime deep dropping for Swordfish is also on the table—a thrilling challenge with the potential for serious reward.

From the moment the lines go in until the ride back at 5:00 PM, Captain Doug and his crew are dialed in, adjusting tactics throughout the day to put you in the best position to succeed. With top-of-the-line Penn and Shimano gear—including electric reels for deep drops—you’ll be fully equipped to go toe-to-toe with whatever bites.

This trip is all about adventure, excitement, and the pursuit of pelagic giants. Whether you’re after your first billfish or a cooler full of sashimi-grade tuna, Captain Doug will give you the best shot at making it happen. If you’re looking for a serious offshore experience with a crew that’s as passionate as you are, this is the trip for you.

Since first chasing big game fish in 1996, Doug has dedicated the last 15 years to sharing his deep love for fishing with others—and it shows in every detail of the experience he delivers.

Departing from Virginia Beach, you’ll head out on a 50’ Custom Carolina Buddy Harris, fully outfitted in 2023 with brand-new 650 FPT engines and a top-tier arsenal of gear. From Shimano and Penn reels to electric setups, 38’ outriggers, and a green stick, this boat is rigged to the gills for serious offshore action. Whether you’re trolling for tuna or chasing billfish, everything on board is built to give you the edge.

But the action doesn’t stop on deck—just steps away is a climate-controlled cabin packed with creature comforts, including a TV, DVD player, Sirius XM radio, coffee pot, microwave, hot plate, skillet, fridge, and coolers to keep you comfortable between bites. Whether you’re after full-throttle fishing or a laid-back day at sea, Doug offers the perfect balance of both.

Captain Doug takes pride in offering not just a charter, but a true sportfishing experience. With his high-energy approach and commitment to quality—from the gear to the crew—you’re in for a day that’s as exciting as it is unforgettable
