Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses.

Myra Mathews5.0VerifiedNewFantastic experience!
The Beginner on October 12, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childWe had an amazing experience! I brought my 12-year-old son, and it was the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together and make some great memories. Captain Sam was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable for both of us. We felt well taken care of throughout the trip, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, memorable fishing adventure. We would absolutely book again!

Cyndi Frank5.0VerifiedBest Day of Fishing Ever with Captain Samuel!!
Afternoon mixed bag on September 3, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 childrenFor anyone looking for a phenomenal day of fishing, I highly recommend BayTime Charters & Captain Samuel! He treated our teenage boys to a day of learning, lessons & a world class fishing experience that they will always remember & we look forward to booking him many more times in the future! Captain Samuel shared his skill & expertise & really helped our boys enjoy this awesome adventure to its fullest! He even prepared our day by catching baitfish & had everything, all rods ready to go perfectly. With his guidance, our family caught fish all day & we were able to keep quite a lot of them after he kindly prepared them for us, all ready to grill delicious! I recommend this Captain for any age & skill level, but if you are looking for someone perfect for a family outing, this is the Captain, so patient, he helped us with every hook, every detail, explained about the proper lengths of fish, told us interesting stories about his life growing up on these waters & history of the area. I really enjoyed & appreciated the time he gave us! We are hooked & we will be back!!!!

Half day A.M on September 7, 2024 • 3 adultsWe had a great time fishing with Captain Samuel and learned a lot from him about LIS, the types of fish and their behavior, proper fishing technique and safety on the water. Clearly a seasoned fisherman, he made it a fun and memorable experience.

What a fantastic fishing trip! Despite the chilly weather, we had beautiful sunshine and an amazing four hours out on the water. Our captain went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and caught plenty of fish. We ended up catching three different species! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the whole experience enjoyable. A great day on the water, and a charter I would definitely recommend!
Capt Sam knows the spots, has the gear and tech, and the nose to stay put or move on. First time on a boat for my 15 year old son, and Sam made sure he would have a memorable experience. Can’t guarentee you’ll see dolphins like we did, but i can assure you Capt Sam will be on the fish; he takes that personally. 2 hours, cought 6+ porgies, 2 bass, and a few got aways; all during a slack tide dead of noon. Thank you captain, will see you in October.
Booked this trip for my son and a few of his buddies for his 17th birthday. They could not have had a better time with Captain Sam. He was responsive, proactive and really helpful.
thanks to Captain we were able to catch some good fish. great time on the water with a knowledgeable captain and fisherman makes all the difference.
