Fuel Shortages: Currently the country has been plunged into a fuel shortage situation that is effecting every single American and business. Fuel has always been a major expense that is calculated into the pricing of a fishing charter simply because our safe reliable boats use a lot of fuel on every trip. We will continue to keep our pricing at the very minimum that we can afford and still be able to run charters but we want our customers to understand that the price of charters at this time is based on the price of the fuel. While we are dealing with these extremely high fuel prices we will be forced to add a fuel surcharge on 12, 10 and 8 hour trips when our price reaches $5.25 per gallon. For that reason, we suggest contacting us or the Captain before your charter in order to confirm the current charter price. Customers will have the option of sailing at that price or declining their charter and receiving a full refund of any deposit they made.
All Over-Board Ocean City, MD charter prices are based on the entire boat which will include up to 6 anglers. Our USCG license only allows us to have a maximum of six guests whether guests are fishing or not. Our Over-Board charters include rods, reels, ice, bait and tackle. We require a $200 deposit to confirm your reservation. Your final payment will be due prior to leaving the dock. Please remember that it is extremely difficult to fill canceled dates. Any cancellations must be made prior to 14 days of your scheduled date in order to receive a refund on your deposit.
Weather Cancellations:
If the weather becomes an issue threatening your charter trip, the captain has sole authority to make the call at the dock and refund your deposit accordingly (or you may elect to apply your deposit to another charter date). We know you want to fish and our goal is to provide you with your scheduled trip if at all possible. Cancellations are only considered when there are safety issues for the group.
