Captain Travis McDonald

Twelve years of fishing, one boat he trusts.

Travis runs private inshore and offshore trips out of Hampton Bays aboard the Anna Maria, a 27-foot JC he had restored in 2022. The plan gets made around the weather and what's biting, not a script.

Call the captain who'll actually run your trip.

No booking desk. You talk to the captain who takes you fishing. Tell him what you want out of the day — a kid's first fish, a cooler full of fluke, a real shot at something big offshore — and he'll tell you straight what your dates can deliver. FishingBooker shows he typically answers within the hour.
