FAMILY FUN FISHING IN OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND
Bay Adventures with Crabbing, Clamming, Flounder & More!
Looking for a fun, laid-back way to spend quality time with the family while soaking in the coastal beauty of Ocean City, Maryland? Get Sum Charters offers the ultimate family-friendly fishing experience — combining crabbing, clamming, drifting for flounder, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Whether it’s your child’s first cast or a relaxing morning on the bay with the grandparents, these trips are perfect for all ages — and built around fun, learning, and connection.
Two Boats, One Goal: Family Fun
With two custom charter boats in our fleet, including the spacious Get Sum and the high-performance Ivy Sea, we’re equipped to make your trip safe, smooth, and packed with action. Each boat has plenty of shade, comfortable seating, and — yes — a bathroom on board, which makes a big difference when fishing with little ones.
Captain Nick is a master at keeping things entertaining for everyone. He knows how to read the group, keep the kids engaged, and mix in just the right amount of fishing, crabbing, and exploration.
