Captain Mac
Captain Mac is operated by Capt. Joe McNamee. At the age of 19, Joe got his first captain's license and since then, he has been mastering his cast and exploring the waters from Cape May to Brigantine, gaining the necessary knowledge with over 40 years experience operating party and charter boats. If you are looking for an experienced captain who knows the area like the back of his hand, you have found the right place.
The 'Captain Mac II' will be your boat for the day. She is a 27' Shamrock powered by a 315 HP Yanmar engine. Captain Mac II features state-of-the-art navigational electronics and fishfinding technologies on board. There is a private toilet, enclosed cabin to get out of the sun or whatever mother nature throws at you. All tackle and bait will be supplied for you and your party but if you have your own 'lucky rod and reel' – feel free to bring them along.
Captain Mac offers a variety of fishing trips that could suit any angler's needs. A complete beginner or seasoned veteran, everyone is welcome to join in the adventure. All you need to bring is lunch, your favorite drinks, and a sweatshirt – it could be cool on the ocean. The crew will take care of the rest.
Your day out on the water will see you concentrating on local species in season such as: Bluefish, Flounder, Sea Bass, Blackfish, Croakers, Weakfish, Triggerfish, Drumfish and Striped Bass. You might even catch some Sharks. All you have to do is show up.

Christopher Dyer5.0VerifiedAMAZING TIME!
4 Hour Trip on August 21, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain Mac is incredible! He is respectful, punctual, and knows exactly how to get you want you want. We caught 4 sharks in under 3 hours and he made it an amazing experience! The equipment worked great, he baited our hooks, retied us to get us going again, and the boat and facilities are in great shape and clean! The captain remembered all of our names after only mentioning them once, he even remembered our professions and gave us nicknames! Over all an outstanding time, would give higher than 5 stars if I could! Will absolutely be booking another trip with him!
Jim Willock5.0VerifiedGreat Captain and person
4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on August 19, 2026 • 3 adultsI would highly reccomend Captain Mac to anyone. He was very accommodating when bad weather canceled our trip on Monday he was willing to move bookings around to get us on the water before we left for home. My sons wanted to shark fish and he knew right where to go and we had sharks on the line within 10 minutes. We caught 7 total, 3 large sand tigers and 4 dusky sharks. My son left his wallet on the boat and Mac, worked with us to get it back that night. I couldn’t recommend him any higher. lit the title he was not only a great captain, but also a really good person.
Ronald Grillo5.0VerifiedExcellent experience
4 Hour Trip on August 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenThe two Joe's treated my kids so well. We were afraid that my sometimes unwieldy kids would be to much, but they handled my kids with great care and consideration. We cought a bunch of fish, unfortunately all under sized, but still exciting to reel them in. Im definitely booking another trip when we return next year.

Great Family Trip
4 Hour Trip on August 19, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenTook my two kids out (11 and 9) for my daughter’s birthday. It was their first time fishing and they had a blast. Caught a bunch, including a keeper sea bass and a few flounder. Couldn’t recommend captain Mac enough for families. He was terrific with the kids, helping them every step of the way.
