Salty Love Sportfishing
Meet USCG Captains Cole and Raquel Kennedy.
We are husband and wife, who share the same passion for fishing. We want to share our experiences and knowledge with you! No matter what your skill level is, we will make sure your time on the water is unforgettable. From the first-time fisherman to the well-seasoned angler, we have you covered! Please feel free to get in contact with us anytime!
Our boat is a 2004 30 ft. Contender that has been completely retrofitted in 2022. New upgrades include Rhodan spot lock trolling motor, Garmin GPS, radar, autopilot/spot lock, Lumitec lighting, JL audio speakers, upholstery, twin 2023 Suzuki 300 outboards, and a Seakeeper. We are fully equipped with top-of-the-line safety equipment including the following: an inflatable 6-person Viking life raft, EPIRB, and a Garmin inReach satellite communication device.
Please note the Seakeeper does help tremendously; however, it does not completely eliminate sea sickness symptoms for some. Please prepare accordingly if you are prone to seasickness.
We are a full-service charter, we will try to accommodate all of your needs please let us know any special requests you may have. We are based out of Forked River.
Prices do not include 20% gratuity.
All rods, reels, tackle, and bait is included!

Captain Cole is awesome!
We had a fun outing catching blowfish. Captain Cole is very personable and knowledgeable about fishing. I would recommend to anyone who wants to go put for a few hours but dint have the means (boat, gear, license etc) to do it. Good for a small family group

6 Hour Trip – Inshore
Inshore trip
This was a great trip. Captain Cole knew what he was doing as well as personable and professional which is extremely hard to find both traits. An overall great experience no matter the amount of experience you may have from new to Saltwater Fishing or decades of experience. I would recommend this charter to all and will definitely be back next year when we return to the east coast!

Fishing with Cole
Capt. Cole knew his stuff. He kept us in the fish all trip long. Super pleasant, and very attentive to our fishing desires. The boat stabilizing equipment really works to keep the boat from rocking - a real plus.

Great time on a fantastic gyro-balanced boat! Went to some known fishing spots, and pulled in some great catches. Cleaned the fish back at port, and enjoyed a great dinner (recipe provided by the captain)
