I have been fishing on the Duke O' Fluke since I was 9 years old. I'm 35 this year and it continues…read moreto be as nostalgic as the first day I stepped aboard. Albeit the original captain was an old salt who did not hesitate to tell the other boaters how they messed up. Capt Dave these days carries the same passion with much more reservation and patience. (Decide for yourself if that's better or worse) Captain Dave and crew of the Duke O' Fluke remain my undoubtable choice for a fishing charter to this day. Their charisma, work ethic, and nautical knowledge will undoubtedly ensure your best chances of landing a keeper, even in a full boat. We booked an afternoon reservation today with my hopefully soon to be brother in law and their kids and everyone had a blast. I was proud to introduce my soon to be new family members to one of my favorite childhood experiences and share that with them. The Duke O' Fluke provides true lifelong memories for every fisherman at any level of experience and they are more than happy to welcome and accommodate everyone onboard. Shout out to Andrew,our deckhand today,He had his hands filled literally and metaphorically with keepers, shorts, tangled lines, snagged lines..(sorry for the three hooks we lost). Andrew was very well experienced and kept his head in the most tense and exciting moments of fishing guaranteeing a catch when it wouldn't have been possible without him. I'm sure no one else noticed but if you take a single look at a fisherman's hands they will tell you whether or not they are worth their salt. Andrew's hands are full of fresh and old scars from a career of fishing quickly and efficiently. Marked, calloused, recovering, scarred, and fresh. Also everything in between. Please remember to tip your deckhand when you visit. They deserve every dollar you give them for their incredible service.

He kept giggling while jiggling my son's rod. But before we get there, it's reasonably priced, the crew is knowledgeable, and the bait is plentiful. I still swear Michael was calling it Cuckbait and not Cutbait but we will get back to him. Whether you are new to fishing or an old salt this boat has what you need. On my fishing expedition we were landing flounder left and right. All who participated in the biggest fish pool were going back and forth. Michael, who I promised to get back to, was grinning from ear to ear cause we all know the pool is a ploy to drum up some money for the leadhead deckhand. Captain called "last drift" and I joke you not, a lord of the fins landed the biggest flounder I have ever seen. Michael fist pumped along with the gentlemen till he realized he wasn't in the pool and Mike got serious. He pretended like he hadn't been jiggling my son's rod all day. Long story short he wasn't happy when the dude who landed the doormat only gave him an Andrew Jackson. To clarify, nothing fresh happened, he likes to mess with the little kids. Meaning likes to pretend like they have the big one by playing with their pole from behind. This isn't coming out right. Just watch yourself around that Trout Slapper Michael.

Captain Mike is unbelievable. Cold called him in November 2021 for a striper trip and in December…read moreboated near 100 stripers as large as 42". Got to the point the passengers were tapped out and we got to see him and the mate compete for biggest fish amongst self. Amazing experience and my 9yo just loved it. Gave Mike another shot in May 2022 for seabass and did not disappoint. Over 160 boated for the four of us and maxed out our keepers. Just a genuinely great guy and phenomenal with kids. Not sure I could go out with anyone else in the area.

We…read morecalled mighty heron, but they weren't available the next day, Kim offered a recommendation of someone who might be able to. On that factor alone, we decided to move our date to the next day when they were available. Captain Mike watched the weather forecast closely and said he would make the call the afternoon before our trip. Based on all the data and his experience, he felt it would be a good trip. We met Captain Mike and his 1st mate, Andrew at 7 AM and we headed out for Seabass. They treated my wife and I with a great deal of respect and great friendly conversations. The waves were a little closer together than forecasted. Which made for a very rough ride. We arrived at our fishing spot and drop the lines for a short bit. Mike closely monitored the radio and made the wise decision to pull the lines up and head in as the reports were that the winds and waves were coming in much sooner than predicted. We were able to see some humpback whales blowing, and even a US Coast Guard helicopter training Mission. We really enjoyed ourselves in spite of the waves and me "feeding the fish" a couple of times. When we returned to dock, Captain Mike was clearly disappointed and graciously offered to adjust our rate since we weren't out there the full time. Absolutely no doubt that we would book with them again in the future.

Had my boat serviced and I had new foam flooring put in a week before. After I got my boat back…read moreand put it in the water my new floor had black greasy hand a footprints all over my new foam padding plus my new net was missing from my helm compartment. The foam was a mess. Robert the salesman had the nerve to blame me when we went out on a sea run which lasted 5 minutes for putting this mess all over the boat. I went on the boat to the helm then off the boat I saw the mess and he said we will clean this up. I got nothing but bullshit excuses from Robert so he sent this to his boss Chris. Chris called and asked me how can we make this right and I said clean all the stains I couldn't get up and replace my net that was taken. He asked where the boat was so they could go clean it and that they would call back to let me know. Never got the call so I contacted them the next day and they told me they went early in the morning and did it without notifying me and Chris's response was"I didn't know you wanted to be there". If I would have gotten the callback like you said you would give I would have told you I wanted to be there and at that point I would be able to show the pads that had rips and punches in them. So to end this Chris said he can see there's nothing they can do to make me happy and as for the net someone stole it when they had it in their marina water. So I haven't gone down to the boat and this is far from over. Look at the pictures and you tell me. One more thing they chipped a corner near the front hatch and this is what Robert said happened" it was an AIR VOID" yes that's what he said. He is very insulting of peoples intelligence.

I'm not sure where to even start! Had an disgusting experience with this pontoon/boat rental…read morebusiness. Starting with the girls at the front desk! I have never met anyone in my life that's so rude, snarky, and condescending. From the the moment I arrived she gave us nasty looks and wouldn't answer our questions in full detail. Today, My family and I decided to rent a pontoon from them. There was 12 of us on board the pontoon and never imagined the pain and suffering we had to go through to make it back to shore. We decided to rent a pontoon for four hours to enjoy our day out in the water. It was our first time renting from this place. From the moment we rented the boat, it shut off 5 times during normal cruising speeds. We finally called and told them the boat keeps shutting off on us. So they gave us a few steps to try to troubleshoot the problem and nothing worked. They finally decide to send out a deck mate on a small diggy fishing boat that barely fits one person. It took him 40 mins to come out and meet us in the middle of the bay while we were anchored because the boat wouldn't start. He came out and inspected the boat and told us the motor took on water (not sure how this happened) and tried to tow us with the little boat while we're all onboard (completely illegal) instead of calling a tow boat service. While trying to tow (which was unsuccessful due to the weigh). Some passerby's pulled up next to us with their personal boat and decided to help us after they saw us all in distress and had us abandon our pontoon and get on their personal water craft for our safety and took us back to shore while the deck mate dealt with the pontoon in the middle of the bay as the water was beginning to get choppy and windy. Keep in mind we had coolers, bags, purses, etc. Which we all had to transfer from our pontoon to these random peoples boat trying to save us. Once we arrived back to the docks, I walk into the front office of the business and they act like nothing happened. They Wouldn't even apologize or sympathize with the bad experience all 12 of us just had for the past hour and half. All they worried about was keeping the deposit of $500.00, holding my credit card hostage (which is illegal according to Ocean City Police) The girl at the front wouldn't even reimburse us for the rental rates. YES THE POLICE WERE CALLED BY THE BUSINESS ON US. Thankfully Ocean City Police sided with us and told her she can't hold my credit card hostage. Ocean City PD told me this place always has the police called because of these same issues with other customers. The girl at the front continued telling us were to blame when there is no way we did anything wrong, we couldn't even speed due to the weight and size of the pontoon so how did the motor catch on water? They kept making a million and a half excuses why they wouldn't give me my deposit back! I URGE ALL OF YOU READER DO NOT DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE! This place doesn't even deserve 1 star! The girls at the front are disgusting and quick to take your money and leave you without any information. Save yourself the headache. Find a different place! I will be seeking legal advice against this business.

NEVER NEVER NEVER will I go here again…read more Made a reservation the day before we were to take out a pontoon for a family morning of fishing. Got there in the morning half hour before as instructed and the reservation was cancelled and apparently reassigned. The lady at the front desk kept claiming that they has sent an invoice by mail for us to pay the deposit and that they had some kind of verification that we had seen it, and since we didn't pay they cancelled. As it turned out we confirmed when we got back to our house that the invoice never downloaded to our e-mail server, so there was no way we had seen it. These things happen which can be understood but the really frustrating part was that they never even acknowledged this was a possibility. To make matters worse, they lady at the front desk was the highly unprofessional and condescending the whole time even as she herself was confused about who we were and the date of the actual reservation. WE ARE HERE EVERY YEAR FOR PAST 16 YEARS BUT NEVER AGAIN FOR ME OR MY FAMILY

I visited their other property in Cape May which was also lovely.

They have someone steer the boat in and out of the dock, so at least you are not responsible for any damages while docking! They even told us to leave any trash behind - they'd take care of it for us. The floor of the pontoon boat WILL flood or get wet from waves, so don't put anything down that will be ruined. Do NOT jump into the water. Use the ladder. We learned the hard way - someone in our group found out she broke her foot after she jumped in and it was shallower than expected. Tips: Bring a bungee cord to keep a trash bag off the floor or beach bags up and away from the ground.
