What to Expect on a Bowfishing Charter
Bowfishing turns a Chesapeake night into a fast, hands-on hunt. Bright deck lights open up the shallows while your group takes turns targeting invasive snakehead and blue catfish. The crew helps first-timers get comfortable with the equipment and stays involved throughout the trip, so no previous bowfishing experience is needed.
Each private charter is four hours and accommodates up to four guests. The base trip price is $850, and a $200 deposit secures the reservation and applies toward the trip total. Your group gets the boat and crew for the trip rather than sharing the deck with another party.
Bowfishing runs seasonally from March 1 through November 1. Because the best action depends on tide and visibility, the exact departure time is tide-dependent; the captain confirms timing 48 hours before the trip. The live calendar shows the dates that can currently be requested.
Trips depart from Queen Anne Marina, 412 Congressional Dr, Stevensville, MD 21666. Plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early with weather-ready layers, food, and drinks in non-glass containers. Your confirmation includes the final meeting instructions.
To reserve a date, open the bowfishing availability calendar, choose an available day, and complete the booking details for your group. Call the team if you want help choosing a date or understanding the tide-dependent timing.
