Your Captains Paul, Bruce and Gary aim to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let them know what you’re after!

You’re looking at 4 to 30-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Bluefish, Dolphin, Flounder, Marlin, Seabass, and Tuna, depending on the weather and time of year.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 53’ Yank Marine boat that can safely take up to 12 anglers. This boat features a toilet, an AC, and a fighting chair.
All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip.
You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.
The Captains run their trips together with the first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)
Unforgettable Family Fishing Trip with Captain Bruce & Steve! We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Bruce and Steve aboard the Michael D Sport Fishing Charter! Our family (all adults, no young kids) had been looking forward to this trip, and it completely lived up to the hype. Captain Bruce was experienced, organized, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Steve was just as awesome — super helpful, funny, and full of great fishing tips. Their teamwork and energy made the whole day feel easy, relaxed, and fun. We caught plenty of fish, enjoyed beautiful views, and had a blast the entire time. The boat was in great condition, very clean and comfortable. Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day with family, this charter is a must. Highly recommend Captain Bruce, Steve, and the Michael D team — we’ll definitely be back

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)
We had an absolutely amazing time with Captain Gary and Steve on our very first sea fishing trip! From the moment we set out, the experience was nonstop action - we were catching fish one after another, it felt like the excitement never slowed down. Both Gary and Steve made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable, sharing their deep knowledge of the waters and giving us tips along the way. They truly made us feel comfortable as beginners, and their expertise showed in how effortlessly they guided us through the day. Our group couldn’t stop smiling and laughing, and we left with not only plenty of fish but also great memories. If you’re looking for a fun, action-packed, and memorable fishing trip with captains who really know their stuff, we couldn’t recommend Gary and Steve more highly!

We were a group ranging an age from 84 down to eight, and the crew took wonderful care of all of us. The three young boys caught many many fish. Bruce was very patient and kind to them, and taught them a lot. We all had a blast.

Our 4th time back with Michael D Sport Fishing Charters and once again had a great time. Despite scheduling around the weather we all had a great time trolling and better yet catching a number of keepers. The crew is first class and makes our annual trip a highlight of our vacation time. We will be back next year!
