Tide + Timber Travel grew out of my love for wild places and the people who care for them. I’ve spent my life outdoors — fishing with my dad, working on the water, and studying wildlife and fisheries across the Chesapeake Bay. After years in the field and behind the scenes, I realized I could help others experience these places without all the stress of figuring it out alone. This business is about making the outdoors more accessible, more enjoyable, and better supported — one trip at a time.

I don’t just book your stay — I help you build a trip around what matters to you. That means:

• Matching you with guides and charters I trust.

• Recommending options based on my own experiences or those in my network.

• Choosing timing based on real seasonal knowledge (not just pretty photos!)

• Prioritizing comfort and clarity, even in the wild.

• Planning trips that work for how you actually want to travel — not one-size-fits-all packages.

I specialize in Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Kent Island, and Ocean City, as well as Alaska and coastal areas across the U.S. I work closely with partners in these regions to give you travel that’s grounded in local rhythm, including:

• 🎣 Fishing charters out of Kent Island, Ocean City, Maryland and more.

• 🦌 Sitka deer hunting and guided waterfowl hunts on the Eastern Shore.

• 🐟 Goose, duck, and sea duck hunts near the Chesapeake Bay.

• 🐬 Group and family-friendly Alaskan cruises (with options for fishing excursions and wildlife tours!)

• 🏝️ Romantic beach escapes like Aruba, Punta Canta, and Florida Keys adventures.

• 🐚 Ocean City group trips for the world famous White Marlin Open, other tournaments, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and family getaways.

• ✨ Custom planning for luxury resorts like The Inn at Perry Cabin and the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay.

Whether you’re reeling in a marlin or watching the sunrise from a boat, I help outdoorsy travelers and adventure-loving couples get out there — with organized, stress-free planning that actually works for your schedule, budget, and vibe.

My clients are people who want to spend more time outside and less time scrolling, searching, or stressing.

• Outdoorsy couples planning a romantic trip that doesn’t feel cookie-cutter

• Fishing and hunting groups looking for a solid, no-hassle experience

• Locals who want help navigating Maryland’s best trips

• Families and first-timers who want a wild trip without the chaos

If the travel above isn’t quite your style, feel free to check out my FORA Profile and Instagram @amberbythebay, where I share a more relaxed and personal side of travel. Think quiet boat rides, lighthouse views, sea otters, snowy hikes, fire pits after fishing trips, and trips inspired by dragons, Marvel, and Main Street USA.

I also help people who enjoy:

🏰 Disney and Universal vacations — minus the stress.

🐉 Fandom-themed trips like How to Train Your Dragon coastal getaways or Marvel-inspired city tours.

🥂 Romantic trips that combine nature and charm.

🌿 Beautiful nature, wildlife watching, and lesser-known spots.

🍴 Good food, cozy places to stay, and slow travel with character.

You’ll still find me on a fishing charter or duck hunt from time to time — but Amber By The Bay is where I share the other things that feel like me.

If you’re interested in curated trips beyond the outdoors — especially magical or nostalgic adventures — you’re in the right place.
