Running angling trips out of East Moriches, Mahalo Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Nick will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He will take you bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 2 to 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Scup, Seabass, Bass, Flounder, Weakfish, and Triggerfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

You’ll be fishing from a 28’ Groverbuilt boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet and an ice box.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

You’ll find free water bottles on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Mahalo Charters.

I have been on my boats my entire life. I started working on a charter boat at the age of 15 and immediately knew that this was what I wanted to do. After acquiring my 100-ton Masters Captains License at the age of 19 I was determined to have a boat of my own someday. I always had a love for Groverbuilt boats so I set out to find one. Finally, at the age of 26, I was able to purchase Mahalo. I have spent 2 years restoring her and I am thrilled to finally be able to share my love of fishing and the water with others.
