What an awesome time with Captain Bill and his lovely wife Captain LoriAnn!!!…read more Went out for Snakefish (they are elusive) but failed but did catch catfish with a bow! First time bowfishing and will not be the last! I have a PSE compound bow but this was just slightly different and definitely more exciting than shooting at paper targets. LoriAnn gave us the run through and encouragement and we were off! Both Captain Bill and LoriAnn were awesome hosts! I say hosts because it was like friends letting you into their boat to fish with them. They were both nice (Captain Bill is retired USMC and my cousin is retired Air Force), accommodating, helpful, knowledgeable and can hold a conversation! It was such a good time and we even got to the VA side. Keep in mind we loaded up and left dock at 8PM and did not get done until past 1AM...So wear comfy shoes. We caught fishes and had an awesome time learning what we could from them both. 9 fish was a nice total with one 15lb, 3 over 7/8lbs and the rest between 3/4lbs...The pictures say it. My cousin and I were happy! So if you have never gone bowfishing, Southern Maryland Bowfishing is who you should do it with! I highly recommend Captain Bill and sprain LoriAnn! They are good people who showed us a damn good time!

Disappointing, uncomfortable experience and would 100% not return…read more We booked a trip with Southern Maryland Bowfishing as a group of three, excited to try bowfishing for the first time and hopefully catch some snakehead (we're optimistic like that). I had assumed based on our communication that our small group would have the small boat to ourselves, which is typically why I pay for extra spots; to keep things private. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were surprised to find that two of the captain's "regulars" were added to our trip without any heads-up, which immediately shifted the tone of the experience. Things only got worse from there. Fewer than five minutes into the trip, the captain commented on how "good" my English was and that I didn't have an accent; clearly implying that, as a Hispanic person, I was expected to speak with one. We quietly noted that we didn't even make it five minutes without a tone-deaf comment, and tried to move on and enjoy the trip anyway. Unfortunately, we didn't. There was very little instruction provided, and we mostly had to ask questions to figure out what to do. Meanwhile, the couple of regulars, clearly more experienced, were set up at the front of the boat catching fish, while we were left to figure things out ourselves or ask a million questions. We felt like spectators rather than participants. To add a final insult to injury, when we returned to the dock and I still tipped the captain out of courtesy, I overheard him in conversation with a small group of men joking about how much he charged. One of them turned to me and commented that I should make sure to come back again (It was clearly implied we had overpaid or been taken advantage of). The captain then offered for us to come back in another season since we didn't catch anything which honestly just felt like a weak consolation. This was an overall uncomfortable and disappointing experience. Between the lack of professionalism, the unwelcoming vibe, and the racial microaggressions, I can confidently say we won't be returning. Luckily, there's no shortage of other bowfishing charters in the area, we'll try one of those once the bad taste from this experience fades. Alternatively we recently chartered a boat for blue catfish fishing and had a completely different experience. Look for that review if you're looking for a good time fishing.

Captain Shane and the crew ushered us onto this beautiful vessel, gave us a tour of the multiple seating options (including two outdoor-front of the catamaran-seating areas, and an indoor oasis with kitchen and restrooms- fit for about 12-13 people), curated a scenic tour of the Harbor and open waters, AND kept the music going!! And...plus...also...if you decided not to bring your own food (which you can do) there is an option to have a private chef on board (which we did )! AND I CAN'T skip the Birthday Package they had set up!! The baloons, the lights, the cake, the libations!!!! Now I think we have universally banned the use of the word "moist" unless it's related to a cake...but I'm going to use it because it's related to the cake! Delicious! I sliced it up before we ended our trip and everyone was more than satisfied. When you go on your outing tell Captain Shane I said, "Hi" ‍!!!

How many times can you say, "I rented a private yacht for the night?" Not very often when you're…read morein my income bracket. But thanks to my job and my role in planning meetings and events, I got to finally check renting a yacht off my list. Setting up the event was easy. A phone call, talking through options and placing a deposit secured the boat. It wasn't inexpensive, but it also wasn't bad since food and drinks are included for our 25 guests. For food, there are several options to choose from. You can do appetizer stations, have appetizers passed while people are enjoying cocktails, or you can skip apps and just do dinner. For dinner we opted for a sit down meal, but they also offer a buffet. For the plated meal, you get to choose two proteins, a starch and a vegetable. I chose a filet, mahi mahi, potatoes and carrots. The meal also comes with a spinach salad and bread. They kept the drinks flowing throughout, and for dessert we selected the chocolate cake. The boat is nice, the staff super, and cruising around is awesome! Sadly, the food is the low point. For appetizers we had a mix of things, including seared beef, spanakopita, samosas, chicken satay and bruschetta. The appetizers were pretty good but the bruschetta was served on stale crackers. I always thought the point of bruschetta was the bread. Also disappointing was the filet and mahi mahi. The filet was ordered medium to accommodate different tastes...middle of the road, I figured. Every filet was well done and the sauce tasted only of mustard. The fish was like shoe leather...so overdone. I ended up eating the salads and sides. I know it's difficult to cook on a boat, but what about cooking the filet whole and then carving it? Or just get someone who knows how to cook. If I were to do this again, I'd skip the food altogether, or maybe just do appetizers (I can buy the bread for them). People still had fun, even with the bad food. Just being on the water makes everything better.

3.5 Stars! My friend…read moreand I were running a little behind, but were able to get there in plenty of time and did not have to take a running jump to get on the boat. (woo hoo!) We were aiming for a Cherry Blossom tour, but the trees weren't on our side this time. The cruise itself was fine, as it took us around. I didn't really notice anything of note, except the Washington Monument in the distance. (This could just be my ignorance as well.) There was a deceptive display of coffee urns and mugs, but there was not coffee. That was disappointing. The bottom deck had several chairs in rows, and upstairs there are a few tables. You can also go outside on either end of the vessel. If you are on the bottom in the back, it's really loud, as that's where the motor is. Upstairs has cushioned seats and the engine isn't as noisy up there. In the front, there is some seating as well and it can also be loud if it's windy. We didn't buy anything from the snack station as we had just eaten, but I saw that they had a decent snack selection.

My favorite season is boat season and SeaDC has helped me spend lots of time on the water at an…read moreaffordable price! I first stumbled across SeaDC when I moved to the area in 2023. I was looking for a duffy boat to rent to celebrate my birthday since that was my birthday tradition for the past couple of years living in CA. I was so happy when I found this business and immediately booked a 2/3 hour ride. Split between 10 people it was less than $50 per person! What I love most about SeaDC is that you can drive the boats yourself and don't need a license. They're electric and better for the environment. The boats are a cool way to hang out with friends instead of going to a restaurant/bar in my opinion. There's bluetooth on board and you can bring any snacks and drinks that you want. Since celebrating my birthday on the boat 2 years ago I've done numerous days out on the water thanks to their membership option. You can pay a flat rate for the season and enjoy going out 2x a month or unlimited depending on your tier. And then lastly I want to shout out Benjamin, the manager of SeaDC. He's awesome and always so helpful. I highly highly highly recommend checking them out. Even now in November when it's a bit colder they have windows that roll down to keep the breeze out and warm inside (pro tip: bring hot chocolate with you) Thank you so much SeaDC, I've loved being out on the water on your duffy boats and can't wait for warmer weather to do it again :)

If you don't mind that, don't forget to bring a jacket. The ride here to Georgetown wasn't bad, took about 40 minutes, and they also have a concession stand. $2 for sodas and popcorn and $3 for water if you get a bit peckish. Anyways, it was cold and the staff members wanted to pull down the plastic coverings so the wind doesn't end up freezing everyone on board. Well, a few of them didn't get strapped down properly and that definitely defeated the purpose. I did a roundtrip which costs $26 per adult, I believe it's around $12 for a oneway. Anyways, it was decent. Oh, and I gotta say, one of the staff members was quite rude with my husband when he asked him a simple question, so I wasn't thrilled with that. That's a negative point for service.
