Your captain

Four decades reading Chesapeake water.

Captain Jeff Cross has spent a lifetime learning the tidal rivers and open stretches of the Chesapeake Bay, earning a reputation as one of Southern Maryland’s most seasoned light-tackle captains.

Local Knowledge

Raised by the rhythms of the Bay

Jeff’s understanding was built season by season: watching currents, weather, bait, fish behavior, and the subtle changes that separate an ordinary outing from a memorable one.

On the Water

Calm, capable, and welcoming

Guests know Jeff for the confident but easygoing way he runs a trip. He teaches without talking down, keeps safety first, and makes room for everyone aboard to enjoy the experience.

The Goal

More than filling a cooler

Catching fish matters. So does the sunrise, the conversation, the first hard strike, and giving people a day on the Chesapeake they will talk about long after they return to shore.
