Sandy Hook Charters welcomes you aboard and invites you to embark on an unforgettable and private fishing adventure. Our goal is to make sure your charter has fun while catching fish – pretty simple, right? Departing from Leonardo Marina, you can fish Raritan Bay, Sandy Hook Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Join us for a great private fishing trip in New Jersey!

We just repowered a safe and fast fishing machine Everglades 290. This 29’ center console can fit 6 guests and has the latest gear, tackle, and electronics to put your crew on the fish. It uses twin 225 HP Honda engines and outriggers and features an ice-box and a livewell. Of course, the boat is equipped with all the coast guard safety gear and also has an enclosed bathroom.

Our Striped Bass fishery is amazing. Striped Bass have two great seasons- spring and fall. This usually means April until June and then again from October until December.  We use mojos, parker spoons, swim shads, Nomad Vibes, topwater plugs, live bait – anything it takes to catch your fish of a lifetime.

Summer Flounder (a great fish to target with the kids) gets going from June until September. We provide the bucktails and gulp or fresh bait to put the doormats in your cooler.

Black Seabass and Blackfish are prolific in our area and are so good to eat. We will get you on the “good bottom” so you can fill the cooler with these tasty fish. We also catch Cod, Porgy, and Triggerfish on these trips.

We also target Bluefish, Bonito, Albies, Mahi Mahi when in season.
Our Tuna and or Shark trip are more expensive but are truly memorable.

Sandy Hook Charters will provide you with all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait. You just bring your food and drinks. If you decide to keep your catch, our crew can clean it and bag it for you. A 20 percent tip is customary if you are satisfied.

Book your adventure and come and make a fishing memory!

Great Experience
Half Day Trip – Bottom Fishing on August 14, 20252 adults
Tim and Jack were excellent. We chose the 7 AM slot to get some of the early morning fish before it got too warm. The 4 hour boat trip included 3 different fishing experiences. We started off doing some bottom fishing for black sea bass, followed by trolling for bluefish, and ended with fluke fishing. It was a very successful fishing day. At the end, Tim filleted all the fish for us. We cooked the seabass and bluefish that night with lemon, garlic and herbs. Delicious! Highly recommended!

4 Hour Trip – Striper - 2 anglers on June 5, 20252 adults
Capt. Tim and 1st mate Russ were excellent. They are quick to help and well informed about the fishing spots and the multitude of species you can catch. If I said 250 catches at 10 to one I would be close. Lots of catching.
