When it comes to unforgettable outdoor experiences in Maryland, few families are more dedicated—or better equipped—than Captain Murray Easter, his wife Cara, and their loyal Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Grizz. Together, they own and operate two standout adventure businesses: Chessie Outfitters and Deep Creek Cruising.
Captain Murray Easter – The Sportsman Behind Chessie Outfitters
Born with a fishing rod in one hand and a shotgun in the other, Captain Murray has spent his life exploring the woods and waters of Maryland—from the Chesapeake Bay to the backwaters of the Eastern Shore. As the heart and soul of Chessie Outfitters, he guides guests on thrilling hunting and fishing trips that capture the true spirit of the region.
Always by his side is Grizz, a one-of-a-kind Chesapeake Bay Retriever who’s just as passionate about the outdoors as his human. Grizz lives for the thrill of the hunt and is more than just a companion—he’s part of the team, tracking, retrieving, and bringing an energy to every outing that guests never forget.
Cara Easter – The Host of Deep Creek Cruising
While Captain Murray commands the tide, Cara brings her own brand of magic to the mountains with Deep Creek Cruising. Located in the scenic Deep Creek Lake region, Deep Creek Cruising offers serene boat tours, private charters, and relaxing escapes designed to showcase the lake’s natural beauty. Her attention to detail, warm hospitality, and love for the water make every cruise a perfect blend of comfort and charm.
One Family. Two Adventures. Endless Memories.
Whether you’re hunting ducks at dawn with Captain Murray and Grizz on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, or enjoying a peaceful sunset cruise in Deep Creek Lake, the Easters invite you to experience Maryland the way they do—up close, personal, and unforgettable.
