I found out that the trip had been canceled ONLY because I reached out to the owner to confirm, since the deposit and contract was made months before, 3 days before the contractional date. Just to be texted that all scheduled trips will have to be done on a later date. No contingency plan or future discounted trip for the extreme inconvenience. A big fat NOTHING....

We booked Miss Susie Charters for a late October catfishing trip out of Tantallon Marina, and the…read moreexperience far exceeded our expectations. Getting there was a little tricky since parking is street-only, so I highly recommend arriving early like we did. We were able to find a spot without issue, but I can imagine it getting tougher later in the day. It was also a bit confusing at first since you have to walk through a closed marina gate marked "No Trespassing" to get to the dock. Thankfully, a crew member from Miss Susie met us at the second gate and escorted us to the boat (Miss Susie III). Once onboard, both the captain and his mate were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely funny. They gave us a clear walkthrough of what to expect and were very patient with the first-timers in our group. Everyone felt comfortable, even those new to fishing (and there were several). We had modest hopes and just wanted to catch a few fish but ended up catching over 50 catfish between the seven of us! It seemed like non-stop action, and everyone on board was raving about the experience afterwards. Several folks even said they hoped we'd do it again and I guarantee you that we will. This is very likely becoming a yearly tradition! If you're looking for a fun, well-run charter experience with a great crew, I can't recommend Miss Susie Charters enough. We had a blast!

We were a group of nine adults and one child with this being the first time for most of the group. We didn't catch our limit of fish but everyone had a great time on the water. I can honestly say that they gave us their best. We moved around when nothing was biting and we did not stop trying. We obeyed all laws and threw back all that were under 19 inches , which seem to be more than what we could keep. Had fun! Next time We'll try an early morning trip.

The perfect mix of professional staff, quality services, and a relaxed environment makes this the perfect place for someone looking to have a relaxing time while enjoying the local water ways. The facilities are nice, with an on-site, in-ground pool that is quiet and well kept. The lounge has recently been updated and houses two bathrooms with showers along with a TV and a place to relax out of the sun. There is an on-site Scuba Dive Shop as well that is well stocked and has all those little things you might need for a weekend on the boat. The on site mechanics are knowledgable and can take care of anything you need to have done. Lou is a pleasure to do business with and she always has a smile on her face. If your looking to keep your boat somewhere away from the busy Solomons area but yet only be a few minutes from the attractions, this is the place for you!

You can read her rating of herself in this review section. I had my 44' sailboat there all last 2025 season. The electric shore power pedestal did not work when we got to the slip in May. We were assured it would be fixed immediately. I kept asking all summer. Always the same answer but no fix. All summer I had to run my own longer cable to various other pedestals which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. All that time my cables were run over by dock traffic. Management response to other issues was similarly bad as well. I won't go into it all. The season's experience was frustrating. Requested services were promised and not performed. Lower-level workers were very helpful. I expect to see these guys write some sort of rebuttal in the form of another self-assigned 5-star rating to offset this one. All I can say is "reader beware".
