Editorial flag: Legacy “Playtime” label may persist in old PDFs—match RoShamBo + OCFC on the call.
Profile facts last reviewed: 2026-07
About this boat
RoShamBo stages at the Ocean City Fishing Center on Inlet Isle Lane—West OC logistics with a private rail once you clear the gate. Confirm the slip; do not assume Talbot Street or Bahia.
Operator domain roshambosportfishing.com and independent locator journalism tie (443) 370-7144 to Capt. Willie Zimmerman’s 65-foot Carolina “The Weapon.” The legacy oceancity.md label “Playtime” is stale; book under RoShamBo to avoid name collisions with Playmate and unrelated “playtime” charters.
Traveler themes lean toward tournament-season credibility, electronics-forward program talk, and transparent offshore hours. Complaints that show up are usually wrong-name bookings or canyon sticker shock versus short bay invoices.
This profile publishes (443) 370-7144 and 12940 Inlet Isle Ln from multi-source operator materials. Match that phone, OCFC address, and “The Weapon” / RoShamBo on the contract.
RoShamBo’s “show up and fish” package is a real planning option: breakfast, lunch, and nonalcoholic drinks can be added to a day trip, while overnight packages add dinner—especially useful for fly-in groups who do not want a 4 a.m. grocery stop.
The Weapon is a 2019 Guthrie/Bluewater Custom Carolina with a Seakeeper, Furuno Omni sonar, and Garmin electronics. That comfort-and-range context helps groups decide whether the larger charter invoice is worth it versus a shorter six-pack day.

Marina & meet-up
Ocean City Fishing Center — West (confirm “The Weapon” / RoShamBo on booking)
West Ocean City’s harbor clusters a heavy share of private charters and canyon sportfish around the Ocean City Fishing Center and neighboring docks. Summer mornings stack fast—treat parking, ice, and gate names like airport timing, not beach time.
GPS pins and roster addresses do not always match the walk your crew uses; confirm the operator’s meet gate, lot, and whether you stage at a charter office versus a named face on the water.
FishingBooker listing
We did not verify a dedicated FishingBooker storefront for RoShamBo as of 2026-07. 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.
Trip lengths, rates & before you book

- Full-day offshore / canyon programs

Before you book
- Confirm RoShamBo / “The Weapon” (not Playmate or unrelated “playtime” brands) on the signed contract.
- Confirm (443) 370-7144 and Inlet Isle Lane / OCFC parking the night before.
- Read overnight deposit and cancel language twice if that SKU is on the board.
- Budget mate tip on effort; long canyon days are labor even when the bite is slow.
Trip styles
- Strong when you want a large OCFC Carolina rail and will confirm the active hull name on the call.
- Strong when someone on the phone can ignore the legacy “Playtime” scrape and book RoShamBo cleanly.
- Less ideal if you only need a short bay morning—ask for a different archetype.
- Operator card: ~$3,400 full-day tuna/marlin
- Operator card: ~$5,400 / 24 hr · ~$6,000 / 36 hr
- Operator card: ~$3,200 shark or deep-drop · ~$2,400 full-day inshore
- Optional food/nonalcoholic packages — see operator rates page
Targeted species
Pelagic intent leads summer programs—tuna and billfish when temperature breaks cooperate. Treat any species list as intent for the week you book, not a promise.
Ask what rods run simultaneously and how fish cleaning is handled at OCFC.

Themes & voices (paraphrased)
Short lines below are original OCEANCITY.MD summaries—not copy-pasted reviews. Use them to skim mood before you open Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, or FishingBooker in full.
Guests who book RoShamBo and “The Weapon” leave happier than those who chased a stale Playtime scrape into the wrong slip.
July West OC parking still punishes late arrivals—treat the Fishing Center gate like part of the trip.

Secret Fisherman review
Secret Fisherman — Playtime → RoShamBo
Directories age like milk: the phone is modern, the name on the scrape might be from two rebrands ago.
Confirm you are on “The Weapon,” not a similarly priced bay boat with a cool logo.
Overall editor score: 4.6 / 5 for anglers who will book under RoShamBo and verify the OCFC meet before they deposit.
FAQ

- The permalink preserves the legacy directory slug. The live brand is RoShamBo Sportfishing—confirm “The Weapon” and (443) 370-7144 on the contract.
- Is this the same as Playmate?
- No. Playmate is a different OCFC program. Match RoShamBo, Capt. Zimmerman, and the 443 line here.
- Where do we meet?
- Ocean City Fishing Center — 12940 Inlet Isle Ln. Confirm the gate and parking lot the night before.
- Which phone should we dial?
- Use (443) 370-7144 from current operator materials. Match that line and the OCFC address before you deposit.
