Welcome to Stress Reelief Charters, your premier destination for an unforgettable Maryland fishing charter. Located in the heart of the Eastern Shore in historic Oxford, MD, we offer top-tier Chesapeake Bay fishing charters guided by Captain Shane Burns. With 12 years of professional guiding experience and a lifetime spent working and navigating these local waters, Captain Shane provides highly engaging, hands-on fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels.

Whether you are looking for a private fishing charter in Maryland to target Striped Bass or seeking a family fishing charter to introduce your kids to the joy of catching their first fish, Stress Reelief Charters delivers. We specialize in topwater fishing and light tackle fishing across the region's most productive waterways, including the Choptank River, Miles River, Wye River, Tred Avon River, and the main stem of the Chesapeake Bay. Depending on the season, our guests successfully target Striped Bass (Rockfish), Cobia, Redfish, Bluefish, Black Drum, Catfish, and White Perch.

What sets Stress Reelief Charters apart is our commitment to true Eastern Shore hospitality and education. We believe every trip on the water should be a valuable learning experience. Captain Shane loves to teach and ensures every guest feels welcome, supported, and confident holding a rod. We offer flexible options, including 3-hour and 5-hour private fishing trips, as well as shared charters, making it easy to accommodate your schedule and group size.

Beyond our signature light tackle fishing, we offer diverse ways to enjoy the beauty of the region. Book a traditional Maryland crabbing charter to catch your own local blue crabs, or relax on a customized sunset cruise and Chesapeake Bay eco-tour. Families are always encouraged to join us; our beginner fishing charters in Maryland are specifically paced and designed to be safe, fun, and highly rewarding for young anglers.

Guests ride comfortably on our 2017 Sportsman 234 Tournament 23-foot boat, powered by a reliable 200 Yamaha engine. Outfitted for success in both shallow and open waters, the vessel features a trolling motor for stealth, power poles, a VHF radio, and top-of-the-line safety equipment. We provide all the necessary fishing gear, fresh bait, tackle, bottled water, sodas, and we even cover your Maryland fishing license for the day.
