Class Act Charter

Class Act Charter Fishing is based out of Tilghman Island. We fish with the lightest tackle possible to ensure the best challenge in catching a variety of fish. Experienced anglers, we will let you handle as much as you are comfortable with. Inexperienced anglers, we will take the time to show you and assist as needed.

Full day charterUp to 6 people. Departure is usually between 5 and 6 in the morning, and the day runs until the fishing is done.
$900Up to 6
Half day charterA shorter trip on the same boat with the same Captain. Good for families, first timers and anyone on a tighter schedule.

Bait, tackle and ice

An expert captain

The Captain finds the fish, rigs the rods and shows anyone who wants showing. We enjoy taking families out and make sure the children share in the excitement of a good catch.

Not included

The mate's tip

20% is the customary tip for the mate, who works for tips only and works to make the day a good one. A mate is not required if you want to be your own.

Booking, deposits and weather

What is included in the price?

Bait, tackle, ice and the Captain. Not included is the tip for the mate: 20% is customary, and the mate works for tips only. A mate is not necessary, so if you would rather be your own mate and do more hands on fishing, that is just fine.

What happens if the weather is bad?
