VitaminSea Voyages is here to show you the stunning waters of Montauk.

Black Seabass, Striped Bass, Tautog, Cod, Scup (Porgy), Bluefish, Flounder, and more are in the cards if you come at the right time of year. On the day of your trip, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your boat for the day is a 28' Steiger Craft cuddy cabin vessel that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Captains John & Kelly will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with VitaminSea Voyages.

    Really great captain

    Evening Trip on August 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    cant say enough about how great it was to go out with John on this charter. He is a super captain , capable, knowledgeable, experienced, and he clearly loves to fish. He works hard to find and catch fish, is a great teacher and sharess his knowledge generously. He is a great guy, clearly likes people and is perfect in hiscroke as caotain, guide and fishing buddy. I feel lucky we found him and can’t recommend him highly enough. Book him for a charter!

    Afternoon Full Day on June 21, 2025 • 4 adults

    we had blast caught a-lot off fish john and kelly treated us like family, they are very kind and very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about how to catch different species and what to use and how to use each set up! wherever john and kelly put the boat we were hooked on to something or the excitement bites, no matter what there was always action! also for my self that never hooked on to a striped bass or even caught one , i caught my first ever striped bass!! i can say i booked this trip for the action and that was highly achieved! along with just catching fish flule , blues , porgies , stripers and much more! Thank you i look forward to booking another trip soon 😊

    Best fishing experience

    Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM on July 3, 2024 • 4 adults

    John and Kelly were the best team I’ve fished with—and I’ve done a ton of charter fishing. Very responsive by phone too. After booking, John reached out and suggested we move from am to pm to catch the incoming high tide, and we were so glad we did. We were on fish from the first drift to the last. Lots of double and triple hook-ups. Landed several giant cow striped bass, fluke, sea bass, bluefish, and porgies. John and Kelly were very helpful and patient in teaching fishing technique to my wife and her parents, who had never fished Montauk before, and they all landed 40-inch-plus striped bass. Bathroom on-board, very family friendly, and great for first timers and experienced anglers alike!

    Excellent Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip on July 5, 2024 • 4 adults

    Our four teenagers went on this trip and they had a fantastic time. They were very excited to catch a stripe bass very close to taking off in the boat. They were also excited about the entire experience of casting, reeling, taking the hook out and either throwing the fish back in the water or the bucket on the boat to take home. There was plenty of different types of fish caught. Best part for me was John and Kelly filleted the fish expertly. John and Kelly were knowledgeable and were great hosts. Would differently go back with them.

    Another great trip

    Half Day Trip on August 31, 2025 • 2 adults

    This was our second time fishing with John and Kelly. Again we got into the fish right away. We caught fish consistently for the first 2 hours, and then the tide changed so it slowed a little bit. But the John w d Kelly worked hard to keep us catching, which we did. I recommend booking a trip with John and Kelly.

    Trip for Rodman on August 16, 2025 • 2 adults

    John and Kelly make a wonderful team managing the boat to ensure you have a great experience. Everything was impeccable, from safety (they actually have an emergency raft) to the bait (it didn’t smell and was perfectly cut and ready). Great team!

Excellent Charter/Great Captain
Half Day Trip on August 16, 2026 • 2 adults

Top notch charter from stem to stern! Extremely capable, knowledgeable, helpful, and affable Captain. Great extended half day inshore charter landing shorts and keepers of multiple species throughout the morning. Some amazing dolphins and whales along the way. Immaculate, well organized, and maintained 28' Steiger made great time via dual 300hp Yamaha 4 strokes. Very comfortable and easy fishing in a beautiful part of the world. We enjoyed the experience tremendously. Can't recommend Cpt. John highly enough!

Capt. John runs trips out of Montauk aboard a 28' Steiger Craft. These waters are known for Striped Bass and Flounder and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or drift fishing. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
