Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 19, 2025
My son and I spent 2 days with Capt Derick and his mates fishing on the Bay. We caught our limits both days and had a great experience. The boat and equipment were great and Derick certainly knows where to find fish. We had a great time!
June 19, 2025
All three of us enjoyed our trip. It was relaxing and reenergized all of us. After the trip, we ate at the restaurant the captain recommended and the food was really good. We definitely recommend this crew.....

Derick was great at keeping us busy between crabbing and fishing. We learned a lot about the area, caught our limit and had so much fun!!!

This was my 8 yr old daughter’s first time doing some they like this. Captain and first mate were very attentive and made sure the day was about us. Highly recommend booking with them.
June 19, 2025
My family and I had a great day fishing for rockfish! We caught our limit. Capt. Derick and his first mate were awesome and super friendly- they handled everything. Boat was clean and perfect for what we needed. Cabin was comfortable to sit while we headed out and when we ate our lunch. We will plan another trip for sure! Thank you again for a great day on the bay!

Morning (5:30-12:30) Rockfish Charter booked with Captain Derick and First Mate Gordy: Could not be more pleased. Clear communication was established from booking through Catch, Clean and Enjoy. Derick and Gordy know exactly how to get “Fish On!” - Catching our daily limit before 11AM. Fin & Feather’s boat is in top shape, as was the communication between Derick, Gordy and our Fishing Party of 6. Gordy cleaned our catch and Fin & Feather’s partnership with Dock of the Bay Restaurant ensured Catch of the Day Freshness - Ours! If you’re looking for a good charter, look no further: Fin & Feather Chesapeake Adventures is the one!
