    Katherine Charter fishing is hands down the greatest fishing experience I have ever had. I have been fishing for over 50 years. Captain Sam and his mate Captain Dave truly know how to show you a good time (and catch fish too!). We have been fishing with Captain Sam for the last three years from April to November every month! One year we caught 2 Cobias (keeper size)!! Hopefully we will catch two more this year! If you want to have a good time in fellowship learning about fishing and catching fish, Captain Sam and Katherine Charter fishing is the way to go!

    Capt Sam is Amazing. His caring attitude he really truly WANTS us to have the very best day possible. He moves his boat to different places so the best fishing is available. This year we did something different. We booked the cruise to see the blue angles and that was 100% worth booking! So nice to have fun and have a nice clean private bathroom all to ourselves. The boat is always clean and runs very smooth. The best part is 💯 Capt Sam tho, we would book any boat he was on.

    Our charter was straight up awesome! Went out for the Blue Angels Show during Commissioning Week at the USNA and had a great time. Captain Sam was both on-point and totally chill. He parked us in a great spot for the show and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!!!

    I took my youngest son (15) his older brothers and three friends out on the Katherine Two. Captain Sam and Dave were amazing. We caught our limit of rockfish, a couple of catfish and a couple of perch in no time. The boat was incredibly clean and stable. Captain Sam cleaned everything up for us nicely and we’ll be eating well. Can’t wait to book another trip soon.
