Editorial flag: Ignore unrelated “Sea Wolf” / toll-number collisions from old scrapes.

About this boat
Shelly II 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.
Operator domain shellyiicharters.com plus White Marlin Open registered-boat archives describe a 52-foot Carolina-class program. Legacy directory 866 rows and unrelated “Sea Wolf” slug collisions do not match this NAP—use the captain 302 line from the operator funnel.
Traveler themes lean toward family-friendly OCFC economics and professional crew tone. Complaints that show up are usually wrong-SKU expectations or busy-week parking—not a mystery address.
This profile publishes (302) 436-1929 and 12940 Inlet Isle Ln from multi-source operator materials. Match that phone and OCFC address before you trust a toll scrape.
Shelly II’s best-supported captain update in tournament records is Capt. Don Haines (White Marlin Open registration), with ownership tied to Pelagic Adventures LLC—useful verification context when a visitor hits stale directory entries.
The 52-foot custom is reported with a wide beam and diesel generator in fishing-directory specs, details that support a stable offshore-platform pitch without inventing a luxury-spec list.

Marina & meet-up
Ocean City Fishing Center — 12940 Inlet Isle Lane (confirm slip)
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 Shelly II 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
Trip lengths
- Full-day offshore programs
- Shorter SKUs when published for your date
Trip types
- Private canyon and pelagic days out of OCFC
- Family-minded offshore days when the crew and sea state allow
Rates (confirm before deposit)
Operator site publishes seasonal rates—legacy 866 toll rows still appear in scrapes; prefer the captain-direct 302 line published here.
Before you book
- Confirm (302) 436-1929 (not legacy 866 toll scrapes) matches the voice on the line.
- Confirm Inlet Isle Lane / OCFC parking and gate language the night before.
- Ignore unrelated “Sea Wolf” directory collisions when matching paperwork.
- Budget mate tip on effort; long canyon days are labor even when the bite is slow.
Trip styles
- Strong when you want an OCFC meet and a private offshore program with clear species targets.
- Strong when someone on the phone can ignore legacy 866 scrapes and confirm the live booking path.
- Less ideal if you only need a short bay morning—ask for a different archetype.
Targeted species
Pelagic intent leads summer programs—tuna and mahi when edges 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.

Secret Fisherman review
Secret Fisherman — Shelly II
Treat WMO registry + live operator contact as the receipt—legacy toll numbers are where directories go to die.
Overall editor score: 4.4 / 5 for anglers who will match the 302 booking line and the OCFC meet before they deposit.
FAQ

- Legacy scrapes kept toll-style booking lines. We publish the captain-direct contact from current multi-source materials—verify (302) 436-1929 before you deposit.
- Where do we meet?
- Ocean City Fishing Center — 12940 Inlet Isle Ln. Confirm the gate and parking lot the night before.
- Is this the same as “Sea Wolf”?
- No. Old scrapes sometimes collided names and toll numbers. Match Shelly II, the OCFC address, and the 302 line on this page.
- Which phone should we dial?
- Use (302) 436-1929 from current operator materials. Match that line and the OCFC address before you deposit.
