Spend the day with Encore Water Ways Inc and get hooked on fishing in New York City! Your guide for the day is Captain Max, bringing aboard years of professional experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Bluefish, Cobia, Cod, Common Ling, Flounder, Atlantic Mackerel, Albacore Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Tautog, Striped Bass, Porgy, and plenty more. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids 5 years old and up are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It's never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Your trip begins aboard a custom 43' Viking Express cruiser with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, and you'll be catching it yourself. Fuel is a separate charge on offshore trips.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip!

Great Adventure!
Half Day Trip on August 30, 20256 adults

We booked the boat for last Saturday with 6 of us, the Captain and the Mate. The weather was gorgeous. We had no problem finding the address and/or the boat. Captain Max was very friendly and helpful with good fishing tips and ideas to make the trip more enjoyable. Tommy, the Mate was also incredible, very helpful and knowledgeable all day. Thanks, guys, for making this experience with our family so enjoyable. We definitely recommend this trip and Captain Max for anyone looking to enjoys this fun activity.
