Angler's Choice

If you want to explore the Garden State in a completely different way, Megan Beth Sportfishing will take you on an adventure of a lifetime. Captain Dan McGivney will show you the hottest inshore and offshore game that Point Pleasant Beach can offer.

Climb aboard his 38' Henriques Sport Fisherman powered by twin 375 HP Caterpillar engines capable of developing a cruising speed of 21 knots. The vessel was fully restored in 2018 and can accommodate up to 6 anglers of all experience levels.

When it comes to the equipment, this boat has it all - GPS, radar, sonar, fishfinder, liferaft, EPIRB, live bait tank, and ice-boxes. It also has a comfy salon, air-conditioning, AM/FM stereo, full bathroom and a kitchen with a microwave.

Inshore or offshore, the captain will show you the most productive saltwater spots teeming with various species. You'll have the opportunity to catch the delicious Tautog and Seabass, or if you prefer big game - go after Tuna or Sharks. If you're looking for a real adventure, Megan Beth Sportfishing can take you deep sea fishing up to 50 miles from the coast.

Live bait is included in the price, and you'll be catching it during the trip. Quantum rods and reels, lures, and catch cleaning and filleting are also provided free of charge. There is no age limit - this charter offers an unforgettable experience for kids, beginners, and pro anglers. All aboard!

It’s fishing…

1/2 Day Specials on September 7, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

Captain Dan and Chris were great.
Weather didn’t cooperate for the short weekend we had. Had to cancel the Saturday trip due to weather and ended up rescheduling for Sunday.
 Boat was nice and clean with good sonar and plotter. Put us on fish and bait. Bite wasn’t on for the spread. We trolled for albie and bonito per my request. Very busy seas with heavy rain on and off. The group wasn’t all seasoned anglers. My grandson especially. Only his second time on the ocean and he became a little green around the gills! Chris kept his spirits up as best he could. All and all I would definitely go out again with Captain Dan and Chris. Also I left a couple lures at the rental house I wanted to run, all my fault, especially a Speed Pro 160 Deep in mackerel. Pulled the trebles it came with and rigged with a single j-hook out back. Just one of those days.

First Time Flukers Wowed by Megan Beth

Full Day Trip - Inshore on August 4, 2025 • 2 adults

I chartered the Megan Beth to take four family members who had never been fluke fishing before. Not only did Captain Dan and his mate put us on the fish, they were personable, helpful, and educated the first time flukers on how to catch them.  We boated 50+ fluke in the course of our 8 hour trip with 8 large enough to go in the ice chest.

The Megan Beth is exceptionally clean and well equipped for comfortable fishing.  The Clarks Landing Marina is the cleanest marina I think I have ever been too.  Definitely a plus for fishermen who want to bring the wife and kids along.  Overall, I can't think of anything the Megan Beth lacked as far as my expectations for a charter.  I give her Five Stars!

Dan & Ken & about 200 Sea Bass!

6 hour striper special on October 26, 2025 • 6 adults

This was the best fishing trip our family has ever taken. We were reeling in keepers the minute we dropped our lines in. Dan & Ken were so helpful, with tips, tricks, explanations the entire time. They even gave us some fun recipes for all the fish we got to take home. We will definitely be back. Our day could not have been better.
