If you're a fan of bottom fishing, you can pick and choose from several species of Snappers to target. If you want a proper fight, you could go after Jack Crevalle. Many other species can be targeted as well!

Captaintakes pride in teaching kids and beginners the fun of fishing and boating. Small children are OK on board, but customers should contact the captain to work out the details – kids aren't recommended to go on longer trips. The captain will provide you with all PFDs required.

A first mate is on board to give you a hand with whatever you need and to clean and fillet your catch. A gratuity of 20% is greatly appreciated.

good very nice and understanding
4 Hour Trip – Sharks (PM) on June 4, 20262 adults

he let us know the day that we scheduled our charter for that. We probably won’t catch anything due to the weather so offered to push back the trip by a day where the weather would be better we showed up. It was nicer than the day before, but we got out to where we were about to anchor made some calls, checked a few things and let us know that people weren’t really catching anything today and offered us a refund and to cancel the trip or we could still try he went ahead and canceled the trip very nice very understanding and it was still a beautiful experience being able to see everything out in the boat and just being on the boat

Response from Captain

Wish it was a better day guys really appreciate you understanding try to be as Fair as I can be and I appreciate it when people understand that thank you so much.

Nearshore Trip
Near shore 3-hour trolling trip on March 12, 20265 adults

I chartered an afternoon 3 hr trip with four of my kids to experience some nearshore saltwater fishing. Our Captain Pat was a pleasure to work with. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, conversational, he didn’t smoke, honorable, respectful, thoughtful, forthright and he didn’t swear regularly like some charters I have experienced which I greatly appreciated. We landed numerous Bluefish and a few Spanish Mackeral. Action was sufficiently fast and my kids all had a good time. we took away two bags of fillets which we brought to a local restaurant for supper. I would not hesitaite to recommend Pat for a half day on the water.

Reported catch:
Bluefish (Tailor)
Spanish Mackerel
Response from Captain

You guys were an absolute pleasure to have on the boat enjoyed your company very much kids were extremely well behaved and pleasant to be around I'm glad you guys enjoyed the trip I know I did hope to see you again sometime thank you for fishing with us

Incredible Experience with Denise Marie Fishing Charters and Captain Pat!
4 Hour Trip – Sharks (PM) on November 25, 20255 adults

We had an amazing time with Denise Marie Fishing Charters — and a huge shoutout to Captain Pat, who made the entire experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, having fun, and getting the most out of our trip. You can really tell he loves what he does. We ended up catching a nice haul of mackerel and bluefish, and Captain Pat recommended taking the fresh catch to Rusty’s next door, where they’ll cook it for you. We followed his advice, and it was absolutely worth it — delicious food, a beautiful view right on the water, and even live music. The perfect way to end the day. Thank you to Denise Marie Fishing Charters and especially Captain Pat for an experience we won’t forget. Highly recommend!

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel
Response from Captain

Great day on the water with Captain Pat
4 Hour Trip – Sharks (PM) on February 18, 20266 adults

We booked our trip in February knowing it was the off season and didn’t have high expectations for catching fish. Pat was able to find fish and we caught several. Although most of them were pretty small we still had a great ti me reeling them in. Pat is a great captain and very personable. We had a great day on the water with him!

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel
Response from Captain
