    Full Day Trip with Captain Ben

    Full Day Offshore Trip (4 Max) on August 22, 2020 • 4 adults

    We had an awesome fishing trip with Captain Ben and his first mate Nick! We must have seen over 30 whales and over 100 dolphins — better than any whale watching trip you could purchase. To make an amazing trip even better we were able to catch several beautiful yellowfin tuna and false albacores that still get your adrenaline pumping and give an exceptional fight for their size even on state of the art tuna gear! The crew was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience top notch. The best thing about Captain Ben was the fact that he wasn’t afraid to be different than the other Captains around us. The majority of other Captains were only attempting to jig and seemingly were having little luck so he kept us trolling with only a small attempt at jigging and with this choice he was able to keep us more consistently on the fish then the other boats around us. I will definitely be booking again! Thank you!!

    Full Day Tuna Trip

    Full Day Offshore Trip (4 Max) on August 14, 2021 • 4 adults

    Managed to get a smaller bluefin around 50 pounds and a 105 pound beauty of a yellowfin. Most importantly, Ben is absolutely amazing as a captain and was committed to making this what turned out to be a fantastic, beyond memorable experience. If you are looking for a crew that’s friendly, down to earth, and knowledgeable with where the fish are at, then look no further!

    Night Bass Trip (4 Max) on July 4, 2021 • 2 adults

    Captain Ben was professional and courteous! He worked diligently to navigate to successful drifts and gave us countless opportunities to reel in our catch! His passion for fishing shows! We caught Striped Bass, Porgy and Bluefish. When we visit Montauk again, he’s the captain we’re going to call!

    Great time great catch

    Night Bass Trip (4 Max) on July 10, 2020 • 3 adults

    Originally were scheduled for a Friday night trip for stripe bass with live eel. Unfortunately hurricane or tropical storm decided otherwise , but Captain Ben was able to reschedule us for a follow up trip . Very professional, very friendly , went above and beyond even stayed out despite swells and wind bouncing our boat around cuz he knew we wanted to fish. Highly recommend them

    Great trip!!

    Night Bass Trip (4 Max) on June 22, 2020 • 3 adults

    We went on a night Striped abasing trio with Captain Ben and it was great from start to finish. Ben was so nice and patient and always knew where the fish were. He turned off the lights on the way back and seeing the lighthouse at night and more stars than I’ve ever seen was phenomenal. I definitely recommend and hope to go again soon.
