Based out of Cape May, Low Key Charters is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with Capt. Chris, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, popping, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 8-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Seabass, Bass, Flounder, Black Drum, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your boat for the day will be a 25’ Contender that fits up to 4 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with an ice box. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters.

You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.
