Capt. Dave Fishing
Capt. Dave Fishing
Capt. Dave fishing invites you to chase the fish day and night aboard a great party boat. Explore the waters of Coney Island, head to Jersey or JFK, and share this exciting experience with other anglers from all over the country.
The ‘Capt. Dave III’ is a 92’ Blount Ship Yard steel boat with a huge deck and lots of heated cabin space. In fact, she can easily accommodate 70+ anglers who can fish at the same time!
Built back in 1962, the Capt. Dave III cruises at a top speed of 20 knots thanks to her twin 400 HP Detroit Diesel engines. She is a serious fishing machine with modern equipment, electronics, two generators, and professional accessories, as well as two restrooms. The Capt. Dave III is “nice and heavy” according to the crew.
Choose from a nighttime Striped Bass trip or spend your day chasing Fluke. Go for Bluefish, Lingcod, Black Seabass, and Porgy. All of those guys will be caught using the finest gear by Penn and Shimano, along with fiberglass rods made by Gull Rods.
All trips come with the use of live eels, live sandworts, frozen bait, mussels, crabs, and 3 free refills per customer. Captain Dave has rods (Penn, Shimano, fiberglass rods made by Gull Rods) and reels for rent at an additional $10 per rod. Weights aren't provided. The rental includes one rig, and if it’s lost, the customer will need to purchase replacement tackle.
You will be able to purchase drinks and snacks from the fully-stocked galley, which has soda, water, juice, bagels, muffins, coffee, tea, hamburgers, and hot dogs all for very reasonable prices. Once you’re done fishing, you will be able to keep the catch that is within local laws. Captain Dave will see you soon!

Overall we had a nice experience on Captain Dave’s ship. The crew was attentive & always ready to help especially Mike! There we’re plenty of seats outside for everyone to fish without feeling like you were on top of each other. Captain Dave went to several areas to ensure we all had a chance to catch fish. Overall it was a great day & I would definitely use Captain Dave’s ship again. The only negative is that there isn’t as many seats on the inside of ship as the outside, so if there was bad weather or too hot everyone on the boat wouldn’t be as comfortable inside as we were outside.
The captain and crew were very friendly. They ensured we were well taken care and were right there when we had any issues. I would highly recommend this ship and crew to anyone that is a beginner or looking to have a fun and enjoyable time.
Had such a great time out on the water! The crew was super friendly and helped us get set up with rods, tackle, and bait. It was a beautiful day, and I had the best time fishing with my sister and brother. We didn’t catch any keepers but still had a blast. Highly recommend—and I’ll definitely be booking again!
Our first fishing trip with the kids and friends was absolutely amazing! The excitement on their faces when they caught their first fish was priceless. The guides were so patient and helpful, making sure everyone had a great time. The beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere made for a perfect evening out on the water. We can't wait to go back and make more memories on our next fishing adventure. Highly recommend for families and friends looking for a fun and memorable experience.
