Duke O'fluke

Took the 8 am trip, $25 for the "Older Adults". $5 rod rental, includes bait. Captain and Mate were very good. Captain kept moving to new spots if the fish were not biting. Snacks and drinks for sale on board. Reasonably priced. Good mix of new fisherman, seasoned fisherman and family's. The Mate helped everyone.

Great time.

We try to take a fishing trip on the Duke every summer. We went today. The Captain and Mate were very friendly and attentive. My daughter and I both caught a few fish-no keepers, but still lots of fun.

We went on a fishing trip with Duke O'Fluke last summer and have been obsessed ever since. We had such a good time fishing for flounder that we can't wait to try again. Loved that if no one was getting any bites we would move on rather than sitting in one dead spot forever. The crew was awesome and the atmosphere was super fun.

New owner now of the Duke. A group of 25 of us rented the Duke for a sunset cruise of the bay. The crew were very organized and helpful throughout. We all had a great time and will do again this summer. Couldn't recommend the Duke more.

In all fairness they should call it the Duke of Sea Robin. First mate was very bizarre. He kept touching my pole (not a euphemism. He actually touched my rod... I mean fishing pole). Type of guy who can dish it out but not take it. Guy got so butt hurt that he didn't help us net the trophy fish we had hooked. He was a real sea dog type. On the bright side, the captain was a real pro. Unlike the first mate he didn't hit on customers and could actually both give and take a joke.

Horrible business practices. Called the week ahead of time, knowing we were coming into the off-season. Confirmed that they would be open the following Friday, because we were coming from California. Asked if the owner could save us a spot, he said no. We were assured that they would be open and to get there early. So.... on our last day of vacation here in New Jersey, we were down at the docks at 6:30 AM, to guarantee a spot. Nobody showed, so we decided to call the phone number, and a message said they changed their hours for the season & they would only be working weekends!?!? SERIOUSLY!?!? Horrible way to run a business that is geared towards tourists.

Took my 4 year old and 6 year old on the Duke just as my father took me when they sailed out of margate almost 40 years ago. Boat, captain and crew are different but memories are the same. The captain takes you from place to place until you catch fish. The mate is knowledgeable and skilled. Be prepared for what this is. It's a salty crew catering to fishing who accommodate people of all ages. That means they help you but don't hold your hand. They fix bird nests, net fish and cut the bait but you bait your hook and fish. If they ask you to sit down and you don't the next ask won't be so nice. When the fish are coming in the boat that takes priority. All this is how it should be. My kids had a great time. Captain let them drive the boat, hold sharks and look at caught fish and crabs. Even let the 6 year old grab his own minnows. They both caught fish. Tackle was fine. Snacks and drinks available.

This is my favorite fishing place while in Ocean City. I have been coming here for the past 15 years and have many great childhood memories on this boat. The captain is hilarious and very sarcastic, no BS type of attitude. The first mate was very helpful! Untangling lines, unhooking fish, slicing bait.. all that jazz. We usually arrive at 7 and board right away FYI. Always an amazing time with great staff. Totally recommend!!

The staff on this boat is the rudest group of people ive ever encountered they were just plain nasty i brought 17 people close to 600 dollars and they treated us like trash dint go here

Great time by all. Only $30 for 4 hour trip. We caught lots of flounder (mostly undersized). The mate was very helpful and funny. The captain let some young kids steer the boat back to dock. We loved it.
