Reel Fun Party Boat Fishing & Private Cruises

Come spend a day with Reel Fun Party Boat Fishing and enjoy a lovely stay on the gorgeous, rich waters of Ocean City, New Jersey. Captain Edward Collet will take you inshore and nearshore, to lovely reefs and secluded wrecks, and help you land a good catch while you enjoy the water to the fullest. Pick a day that suits you and join him aboard for a memorable fishing trip in Ocean City!

You’ll fish from a 70’ Miami Boatworks boat that can accommodate as many as 70 guests (pricing is based on up to 40 people, there is an additional charge per person over 40.) Private cruises are based on 50 people and can cost less for shorter durations. It runs on twin 650 HP Detroit engines and uses full-featured navigation technology that will help you reach the fish quickly and safely. The boat has men’s and ladies restrooms.

And you’ll also have the help of an experienced crew during your trip.
You and Captain Edward will be bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, and drift fishing the waters around Ocean City in order to catch species such as Black bass, Tautog, bluefish, weakfish, small sharks, flounder, triggerfish, hake, as well as Striped Bass. On our ocean trip, we regularly see dolphins, sea turtles, various sea birds, and occasionally whales. You can keep all the fish you catch if you want to and you’re welcome to bring kids aboard.

The captain will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses. The mates are tipped employees. They will give you instructions on equipment use and techniques for fishing, bait your hooks and take your fish off, retie rigs etc. and clean/fillet your catch. They work very hard taking care of the guests and deeply appreciate the gratuity. (20 percent is customary). You should bring snacks and drinks.

Come visit Reel Fun Party Boat Fishing and Cruises to enjoy your stay on the water!

Captain Edward grew up in his father's partyboat business that he started in 1955. He feels that being the reason for the joy and excitement of people catching fish is a satisfaction that you can't express. Join him aboard and spend some beautiful moments on the water.
