About this boat
51′ Scarborough. Seasonal Oregon Inlet ↔ Ocean City canyon program.
Canyon Blues is described in fishing directories as a 51-foot Ricky Scarborough that follows the Gulf Stream bite between Wanchese/Oregon Inlet and Ocean City into late summer. Contacts Larry Weekley and Elson Myers appear on listing pages—confirm who is captaining your reserved day.
Published directory rates have shown 10-hour shark and 10-hour offshore SKUs in the mid-$2,000s. Treat those as snapshots; dual-port boats change fuel and slip math when they relocate.
InTheBite and tournament coverage have highlighted the family’s White Marlin Open success—reputation context, not a guarantee for a private day.
Because the boat moves, always ask “which inlet this week?” before you book lodging in Ocean City.

Marina & meet-up
Seasonal Ocean City / Wanchese dual-port program (confirm OC slip)
This listing is grouped under “other / confirm dock”: Ocean City spreads charter meet-ups across multiple basins, side harbors, and seasonal faces. Use the published address as your anchor, then lock the verbal gate-and-lot drill with the operator.
If you are new to town, pad ETA for wrong-lot corrections—holiday Saturdays can pinch bridges and Coastal Highway earlier than maps suggest.
FishingBooker listing
We did not verify a dedicated FishingBooker storefront for Canyon Blues as of 2026-04. Many Ocean City six-packs and head boats still book phone-first or through a marina desk—FishingBooker remains useful to benchmark trip SKUs and seasonal pricing, then confirm this hull on the call.

Fishing Charter Reviews
InTheBite profile (2021) and tournament press tie Canyon Blues to Broad Creek Marina, family-run operation, and a White Marlin Open win storyline—consumer domains for Canyon Blues are stale or absent; treat booking as phone/referral-first.
Stars are editorially conservative—tournament notoriety outpaces everyday traveler-review volume.

Secret Fisherman review
Secret Fisherman — Canyon Blues
Press clips sell the family-tournament story—great for credibility, useless for guessing whether they are taking your specific Saturday.
Ask about seasonality (Broad Creek vs summer inlet traffic) and realistic targets before you compare pricing to West OC six-packs.
FAQ
- Does Canyon Blues always leave from Ocean City?
- No—listings describe a seasonal move between Carolina inlets and Ocean City. Confirm the port for your dates.
