We had a fantastic time on our charter with Captain Doug. From start to finish, his communication was excellent and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. Captain Doug is incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of great stories that made the trip even more memorable. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a good time and had everything they needed. His knowledge of the local waters and inlets was impressive, and it was clear he knows the area like the back of his hand. We truly appreciated the effort he put into making the day special for everyone on board. We look forward to booking another charter with Captain Doug in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great day on the water.
wow. Thank you for such a great review and the feeling is mutual! You were all very personable and fun fishing partners. You had an excellent attitude! I look forward to talking with you again. Have a great summer! 
Captain Doug was fantastic. He is an expert in the field and was so friendly and engaged with the whole family. we caught so many fish, and have the best time. We went today, and my son asked if we could fish with him tomorrow. Can’t do tomorrow but we will definately go out again with Captain Doug soon!
That was an epic day! We had fish on from the first drop! Im so glad your family had a good time. I look forward to fishing with you again.
Captian Doug was knowledgeable, kind, showed us good fishing spots, and shared stories! We had a lot of fish on and even got some good keepers including a 19” and 20” flounder. All around a great trip and we will be booking again in the future when we are back in NJ!
thanks for fishing with me, Erika! I had as much fun as you did and was happy to see you guys catch dinner. I look forward to fishing with you again.!
Captain Doug is great. He’s very easygoing and highly knowledgeable. Second time with him and he did not disappoint. Time went by too fast because we were having such a good time. We highly recommend!
thanks, Brad! I always enjoy fishing with you and your family. It always seems like I’m on vacation with you. 
Captain Doug was the best. Took us to some great fishing spots. Caught lots of flounder, some almost keepers, and two nice size keepers. Would definitely go with him again.

As a teenager, I began working on the fuel dock and then started working at a fishing boat and speedboat rental agency. Eventually I became a biologist and worked for the state wildlife agency. After five years I became a conservation officer and retired from that career. Upon my retirement I obtained my merchant mariners captains license and I'm currently running charters for fishing and sightseeing.
