We have three excellent captains running charters directly from Knapp’s Narrows Marina & Inn in Tilghman Island. Each one has a great boat for the Bay and many years of experience to offer. They base their boats here because we’re within easy reach of so many great fishing spots, including “Stone Rock,” arguably the best fishing spot on the Chesapeake Bay for rock, trout, blue, hard head, and drum. Each boat is USCG inspected, and each captain is licensed to carry up to six passengers.
