Captain Mac
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.

Amazing trip with Captain Mac. We took our two daughters out for their birthdays and it couldnt have been better. We caught a mix of fish throughout the trip. We targeted Sea Bass and Flounder and had a great day out on the water! 
Hi Kelly, thanks for the nice review, it was a pleasure having you Chris and the girls out with us. Good luck with the boat, hope you can get back out fishing again shortly. Capt. Mac
Booking a shark fishing trip with Captain Mac in Cape May, NJ, was the perfect choice. His professionalism, expertise, and friendly approach made the day effortless and fun. He quickly found the best spots, and the action started right away. Reeling in multiple sharks was an incredible thrill, especially for my son, with Captain Mac offering patient guidance throughout. The gear and boat were top-notch, ensuring safety and comfort. This first-class experience left us eager to book our next trip—I can’t recommend him enough.
Hi Renee, thanks for the nice review, it was a pleasure having out with us, and glad you had a good day of fishing. Capt. Mac
Mac took my son and his 2 buds out and they had an incredible time reeling in 7 sharks to their disbelief and excitement. Thank you so much for giving these guys amazing memories for their graduation trip gift.
Hi Heather, thanks for the nice review. It was a pleasure having the boys out with me, could have been the most excitable group I've had, high fiving, and helping each other out trying to take my job from me HA HA HA. Have a great summer. Capt. Mac
These guys are great, Captain Mac, and his crewmate Joe are extremely knowledgeable and have fished these waters for decades. We only ended up catching one small fish. Unfortunately, it was a morning where bad weather and wind negatively impacted our success however he did give us the option prior , if we wanted to reschedule or go to an area for smaller fish. However, we opted for taking our chances on several areas and larger fish, and aa any true fisherman knows that this is how it goes sometimes. These guys are personable, extremely knowledgeable with great service . Go with them and you won’t go wrong.
Hi Jeff, thanks for the nice review, it was a pleasure having you and your son out with us. Sorry we didn't have a good day, if your back in town let us know. Capt. Mac
Just two of us went out and we wanted to limit out on sea bass! We were reeling fish ALL day with a ton of smaller tgrow backs but we hit our if sea bass but the end of the trip. Even though we couldn't keep them, it was still a blast catching so many fish! I will be back to grab more.
Hi Ralph, it was nice meeting you guys, glad you enjoyed the trip. Capt. Mac
