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.

This was our first OC fishing trip and we’re sold on coming back every year for it. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, Sergey was truly great educating my younger son every step of the way. The boat is clean and equipped with a bathroom. Location is prime for before and after food stop. Highly recommended for all ages! Thanks for a great trip and a lifetime of memories!!
