Meet Captain Christian
Hi, I’m Captain Christian Seay, a Retired Coast Guard Chief of 20 years with a 200-ton master's license and over 40 years of fishing experience in the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.
That’s a long way of saying I know these waters and the local fishing bite as well as anyone, and I’m trained to make sure we have a fun, yet safe day on the water.
You’ll see plenty of HUGE fish on this website, but I want you know that I love taking first-time anglers and kids fishing and helping them develop a love of the sea like mine.
I look forward to having you aboard and making memories together!
