Trip - Let the Bite Shape the Day on June 24, 2026

Absolutely fantastic trip. Captain Larry and First Mate Bill made the trip amazing. Lots of fish in the boat. Kept 8 triggerfish and had an incredible dinner back at the rental in Rehoboth. Would 100% recommend!! He ensured the trip was EXACTLY what we were looking for. For a family trip it cannot be beat. I got the distinct impression that if you’re an experienced angler he can take you to the next level. Will be back.

Makai - Captain Larry and his First mate, worked hard and were great to fish with. The water conditions weren’t ideal for fishing due to the recent storms, but they both put in a yeomans effort to get us on fish. We caught enough to have a very nice lunch! Thanks to you both for your efforts and making it fun. We will see you again next year. Tight lines!

My son and I had a very successful day of fishing. The Capt and first mate took care of all the prep before launching, and during the trip they would reset all of the lines keeping us fully operational immediately after every catch, with bait on hooks and ready for dropping in throughout our 6-hour trip. They brought us to excellent locations and kept us active — the fish were biting all day. The ride out and back in was quick and smooth.

Tremendous day! Capt Larry and 1st mate Bill are absolutely the best. They make the trip as easy as possible to manage and definitely set you up for success. The boat is fantastic and in prime condition, extremely clean and very well equipped. These guys have the "feel of the room" for the group and made this an incredible experience for me and my three sons today.

Best charter we’ve taken to date. On the fish right away, caught lots of fish and a number of keepers. Had a great time - would have been great even if we weren’t catching. We will be back!

Captain Larry and his mate were great. Took us out 10 miles or so. While we didn't catch a lot of fish on this day, we caught enough sea bass for a nice side dish for dinner. Would definitely re-book another trip with Makai. Very nice boat!

Excellent day on the water with Captain Larry and First Mate Jake. We were on flounder and sea bass all morning. Great boat and equipment. I am sure we will be booking with Makai again.
