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 $5 per rod.
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!
