Meet the Captain & Crew
Captain Richie Roberts
Captain Richie’s lifelong connection to the water runs deep, rooted in a family tradition that embraced the great outdoors - from hunting in the mountains of Central Virginia to fishing along the shores of Southern Maryland. By the time he reached high school, his passion had narrowed to one pursuit: fishing. What began as a pastime quickly evolved into a calling.
Starting his career as a first mate on the famed Chesapeake Bay, Richie learned from some of the best captains on the water, developing the skills and instincts that would soon define his own success. At just 20 years old, he purchased his first boat and never looked back.
Now with over 40 years of experience and thousands of successful charters to his name, Captain Richie holds a prestigious Masters 100-Ton U.S. Coast Guard License. His deep knowledge of the Bay, unmatched work ethic, and commitment to delivering an exceptional experience make every trip memorable - whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer.

First Mate Jake Roberts
Jake Roberts grew up surrounded by a love for the water and the outdoors. As the son of Captain Richie, boating and fishing have always been a part of his life. Today, Jake proudly serves as First Mate aboard the Marcy Lynn, continuing his family’s legacy on the Chesapeake.
A 2018 graduate of Methodist University, Jake earned his degree in Computer Information Technology and now works locally with DCS Corp. When he’s not working or helping out with charters, you can usually find him on the golf course, at a local car meet, or in the gym.
Jake enjoys staying active and busy, whether it’s reeling in fish, perfecting his golf swing, or contributing to the family business. His passion for the outdoors and dedication to teamwork make him a valued member of the Marcy Lynn crew.
First Mate Kevin Logan
Born and raised in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, First Mate Kevin Logan has been part of the Marcy Lynn crew for over 20 years. His passion for the outdoors was inspired by his father, who shared his love of fishing and introduced Kevin to the water at a young age.
Two decades ago, Kevin’s father was fishing with Captain Richie when Richie asked Kevin if he’d like to come aboard as first mate and the rest is history. Kevin credits Richie for teaching him everything he knows about being a professional charter fisherman, from the fine details of rigging lines to creating unforgettable experiences for guests.
When he’s not on the water, Kevin dedicates his time to Buck Distributing, where he’s also proudly worked for 20 years. His work ethic, reliability, and people skills shine both on and off the boat. He’s also CPR certified in the state of Maryland, ensuring safety remains a top priority during every trip.
Outside of work, Kevin enjoys spending time outdoors with his father, hunting, cooking, and sharing meals with family and friends. His deep appreciation for nature and community make him an invaluable part of the Marcy Lynn team and a favorite among returning guests.
