When you can't decide whether you'd like to go inshore fishing for several hours or you're up for a proper offshore adventure, why not get both in one charter? With Drifter Sport Fishing, you can go Striper chasing one day, and then battle Sharks the next.

Depending on what your preferences are, as well as the time you can spare to spend on the water, you can choose your expedition and enjoy the beauty and abundance of the New York fishery. Captain Rob Foley will be your captain for the day, and he's not only a passionate fisherman but a highly experienced captain too, well versed in the ways of the fish.

The boat that will be the epicenter of all the fishing action is an L&H sportfisher outfitted with strong twin 330 HP Cummins engines that make her speedy on both inshore and offshore waters. She's got room to accommodate up to 5 persons, whether it's a group of excited angling buddies or a family ready to try their hand in something completely new.

You don't have to worry about rods, reels, or terminal tackle, they will be waiting for you on board, as well as live bait and lures. If you're a fyrodder looking for the next big catch, Capt. Rob can take you to the best fly fishing spots, as long as you bring your own equipment. If you need any help on the boat, you'll have a trusty first mate with you at all times, and he will even fillet your catch for you after the trip. If you're happy with his services, 20% tip is much appreciated.

There's a variety of expeditions you could venture on – from inshore excursions that will put on the trail of Striped Bass, Porgies, Flounder, and Black Seabass, to offshore escapades that will have you chasing Tuna, Tilefish, Sharks, Mahi Mahi, and majestic Billfish.

Drifter Sport Fishing is a family friendly charter and the perfect choice if you're looking for a fun outing with your loved ones. Find out what makes fishing with Capt. Rob such a wonderful experience!

    Most Fish We Ever Caught. Kids had a Blast

    Twilight on September 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    We brought our triplet 9yo daughters out with captain Rob and 1st mate Rich and couldn't have had a better time. They were so attentive to the girls. We reeled in over 120 fish! Highly recommend. We will be back for sure. -Frank V-

    Captain Rob and son Shawn are the best

    Half Day Trip (PM) on August 16, 2024 • 4 adults

    Treated us to some incredible fishing. My son (14) and his two friends had a great time and caught countless fish. What you catch is heavily influenced by season so keep that in mind. But we caught tons and tons and lots of different types. Plus they did such a great job with the kids. Everyone had a great time. Oh and we also happened to hang out with a pod of hundreds of dolphins too

    Highly recommend this charter. Capt Rob and his son were welcoming and provided an excellent fishing experience. This is real fishing, not like the big commercial charter boats. My friends and I will be back for future trips. Thank you Capt Rob!

With Captain Rob Foley at the helm, you get a guide with decades of experience on the local waters. He's been casting lines around Montauk since he was a teenager, and that's when he fell in love with fishing. Capt. Rob is also an avid tournament participant, and his biggest and most prized catch is a 1000lb Mako Shark. He loves taking anglers and families fishing, showing them tips and tricks, and being a part of their fishing adventures.
