OUR FLEET

Fisherman's Wharf on the historic Lewes Canal is minutes to the Delaware Bay, close to the Atlantic Ocean and nearby some of the most active sport fishing grounds on the Eastern Seaboard. From bottom-feeding flounder and feisty-fighting blue fish and from shark to tuna, a day of thrills, fun adventure & memories is all just a boat ride away. Here we'll take a look at some of the most popular fish we catch, but rust us when we say, there's lots more.

Thelma Dale IV

The Thelma Dale IV is our primary full-day fishing boat and has been in our fleet since 1989. Custom built by Lydia Yachts, she is 85 feet of fishing machine. Boasting a 21 ft beam, her twin 600 bhp diesels are ready to get her passengers to the fish fast, safe and comfortably. With seating for up to 128, she's available for private parties & charters as well.

Pappy's Lady

Pappy's Lady was custom built for us in 1986 by Gary Davis. She features a classically constructed hull of plan on frame and epoxy; this composite construction gives her outstanding strength and ride. Powered by twin 650 bhp Detroit Diesels, she's got power to spare and room for up to 66 people, though we like to fish her with 40 so everyone has plenty of angling space and elbow room. Pappy's Lady is available for half-day fishing, cruising and charter.

The Lewestown Lady

The Lewestown Lady is another boat custom built for us by Gary Davis. Also hybrid construction, she too is an excellent riding and handling boat At 42' in lenght, she features a 16' beam and a 16'x16' cockpit, perfect for fighting and game on the other side of the transom. Her twin 450 Cummins Diesels give her a cruising speed of 18 knots. Available for full day & half day fishing as well as private charter, she's a delight to fish.

The Great Getaway

The Great Getaway is the newest addition to our fleet and used for half-day fishing, sunset cruises and specialty trips. Built in Patterson, Louisiana she is a Gulf Craft Aluminum vessel, sporting 90' of length, a 24' beam and 3, 650bhp turbo diesels.
