Embarking on aquatic adventures is effortless aboard Captain Drey's vessel, the luxurious 2022 Pair Marine 24Mv.

Whether chasing the sunrise or racing towards sunset, every moment aboard this sleek vessel is imbued with excitement and anticipation, as anglers eagerly anticipate the thrill of casting lines in pursuit of their piscatorial dreams.

In the vast expanse of the Chesapeake Bay, a diverse array of fish awaits, including Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cobia, and Redfish. With each passing moment, excitement mounts among the crew as they anticipate the day's catch. Colorful Spanish Mackerel shimmer near the surface, while Speckled Trout lurk in the shadowy depths of oyster beds. Above, birds swoop and dive, adding to the lively atmosphere as they search for their morning meal.

Knowledgeable captains that work hard to find their customers fish! Tackle is well maintained and the fishing platform is superb. As a mate for over 40 years, I recommend them highly!

Captain Drey is the best!! He always finds the fish.

July 26, 2024

Captain Drey is an excellent fishing guide. He asked before our trip what kind of fishing we were interested in and designed the fishing around our preferences. Since we were not familiar with catching the huge redfish we were targeting, he made sure we understood how to attract them and what to expect when we hooked one. When we did get one on the line, he helped get the fish to the boat by offering clear advice throughout the 15-minute flight. He was very careful with his handling of the fish and made sure that all of those we were releasing were fully revived. Most importantly, Captain Drey made clear that the trip was about having fun and he made sure of that by putting us on huge numbers of fish, including some giants (50-inch redfish, 40-inch cobia, too many rockfish and blues to count). I’d recommend him without any reservation and plan to hit the water again with him soon.
