WELCOME ABOARD
CHESAPEAKE BAY & OCEAN CITY, MD SPORTFISHING BOATS
"MY DESIRE"
The Captain that lets you "BE YOUR OWN MATE"
WHAT TO EXPECT
When you arrive you will find both sportfishing boats to be in excellent condition. Keeping a charter boat up to the standards that I set for myself requires a lot of hours. "MY DESIRE" is not a charter boat that will fish 7 days a week. Several days a week will be set aside for maintenance, bad weather days, and family time. They are sportfishing boats that will be ready for those anglers who want the best in a fully prepared boat for a day of sportfishing.
About the mate! "I DON'T HAVE A FULL TIME MATE" The decision whether to be bring a mate will be up to you (When in Ocean City, MD we are required to take a mate on all trips booked by SUNSET MARINA). If you decide NOT to take a mate, I want your charter to become a sportfishing team with everyone envolved in every aspect of the trip (No you don't have to clean the boat at the end of the day). This is not a trip that you will sit and wait for your turn on the rod. It is a trip that the Captain will allow you to participate in all of the activities necessary to catch and boat a fish.
If you would like to have a mate in Ocean City, MD to help assist you at any level you desire in the catching and landing of the fish, let me know well in advance so I can make arrangements for one. There is no additional charge to have a mate join us.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
The day before your trip I would recommend that you do the following check.
Enough food and drinks for a full day. (Avoid all glass containers) You are welcome to bring your favored brew. Limit 2 coolers on the boat.
Cameras, film, sunscreen or sunblock, a jacket, sunglasses, hat, and motion sickness remedy.
WHITE SOLE TENNIS OR DECK SHOES. (No bare feet, black rubber or hard sole shoes.) Black rubber and scuff marks are very difficult to remove.
THE TRIP WILL BE TERMINATED WITH NO REFUNDS if any of the following items are brought aboard. (ILLEGAL DRUGS or FIREARMS)
THE TRIP WILL BE TERNINATED WITH NO REFUNDS if the Captain's judgement determines intoxication of a member of the party to be of concern. The Captain ask the members of the party not to become intoxicated to a point where he has concerns about the safety of the people on board.
Last but not least, when leaving from Ocean City, MD bring the beach towel and the unbrella. Just in case the weather is bad the day of your charter (The Captain will make the final determination on the weather).
EXPRESS YOUR DESIRES AND CONCERNS
Every charter has a different idea about what to expect from their sportfishing adventure. You should express any concerns you may have about the trip. I recommend you take the time and work with me to achieve a understanding of what your hopes and level of participation are before we start our trip. Lack of understanding between the charter and captain can create a disappointing day. If during the trip you would like to try a different level of participation please let the captain know. I am willing to work with the beginner to the experienced angler. It is not "MY DESIRE" to be the top charter boat on the pier with the most fish caught (although it would be nice), it is "MY DESIRE" to let you participate regardless of how many fish YOU catch or loose. It is also necessary for me to know what type of sportfishing you would like to do when in Ocean City, MD ( Marlin, Tuna--Chunking, trolling etc). A discussion with the captain will help him prepare in advance for that type of sportfishing. Too sum it all up I am setting this day aside for you and I want it to be a memorable sportfishing experience.
Thank You, Good Fishing! Captain Bill Kneessi
