First time on a charter with my 12 yr old son. Had a great time. Caught some nice fish. We will be coming back. Captain Pete took cars of everything.

Fun Trip
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 7, 20233 adults

CPT Pete and his first mate Jake were truly a delight! They were attentive, fun, and kept the boat rocking with an eclectic repatoir of music from various genres. My group was a mature bunch unlike the crew, who was much younger. But that didn't matter on this trip. We had a blast even though the fish didn't all show up for our party, we had a few party goers but like the crew, too young so we had to throw them back in the bay! Overall, it was a great trip and I wholly recommend CPT Pete's boat for your next fishing trip!

Exceeded every expectation
6 Hour Trip on September 2, 20232 adults

Captain Pete is one of the best captains we have fished with. His boat and fishing equipment are all in perfect working order. He worked harder than anyone to put us on the fish. He understands the ever changing forecasts and how to respond. He and his deck hand were incredible with my 6 year old son. They made him feel like a king. My son told me it was the best day of his life when we were driving home. I would recommend Captain Pete any day of the week. Will definitely be back.

What an awesome experience! It was a choppy day, but we had so much fun, and we each caught fish! We felt completely safe and in good hands the entire time. Captain Pete is extremely knowledgeable and respectful. I’d highly recommend taking a fishing trip with Captain Pete!

Capt. Peter runs trips out of Brigantine aboard a 25' Parker Pilothouse. These waters are known for Striped Bass and Flounder and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're drifting or bottom fishing. With many years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
