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!

It’s a lot of people on one boat but it was great. My son and I struggled to catch for the first couple hours. Then caught 5 black seabass within like 10 minutes. Crew was helpful with any problems.

Amazing Day on the Water!
8 Hour Trip – Day on May 10, 20253 adults
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.
