Mandalu Sportfishing
Mandalu Sportfishing
Make some memories and go fishing with MandaLu…previously known as Savannah Lynn. Captain Jeff Landis will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of local experience.
These waters are known for Tilefish, Hammerhead Shark, Blacktip Shark, Giant Seabass, Flounder, Tautog, Bluefish, Black Drum, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
You'll be casting lines from a 36' Stapleton saltwater fishing vessel with a capacity for 16 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. MandaLu will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You'll have the help of a First Mate, to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. 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 MandaLu.

Christina SpanosRepeat angler5.0VerifiedShark Frenzy!!
5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on September 6, 2026 • 7 adultsOur family went out today and the Captain has us on sharks immediately! We were consistently catching the whole time. The first mate was on it! They both worked so hard to make sure we had a good time and lots of bites, even making sure to get lots of photos and videos for us to capture this amazing trip. Other boats were out there but none were as active as our, and they explained its because they dont pinch pennies when it comes to providing the quality bait that will get you the bite!! 10/10 recommend for anglers of any skill level.
Aiman Ariff5.0VerifiedWhat a great trip! Best we’ve ever had!
8 Hour Trip on May 16, 2026 • 12 adultsOur group had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Bobby and first mate Patrick! Some of us were beginners, but they were incredibly patient, helpful, and made the whole experience fun and easy for everyone. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and stayed on fish all day. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and hardworking crew, highly recommend booking with them!
Will Blakeley5.0Verifiedsuch a blast!
5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on May 29, 2026 • 8 adults • 2 childrenJeff and Devin were amazing and we had so much fun from beginning to end! Jeff was great and talked us through the process ahead of time and tempered expectations and talked through potential challenges, but we ended up catching eight shark and had an amazing tine. Would recommend to everyone and can’t wait to come back!
Robert Tiede5.0VerifiedAmazing Trip!
5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on August 1, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy husband and I took our 7 and 10 year old sons on a 4 hour trip! The crew were nothing short of amazing with them! We caught our first shark within 5 minutes of having the bait in the water. If you are looking for a crew that is very family oriented and knows how to make 4 hours feel like 30 they are definitely the crew to have! Just a few highlights: Excitement filled the air at 5:15 in the morning! This trip was nothing short of amazing because of the MandaLu crew! They put us on sharks immediately and we had a blast reeling in shark after shark! 🦈10 yo reeled in a 200 pound Sand Tiger Shark 💨Fun fact: Tiger sharks do in fact fart and burp! This might have been the funniest part of the trip for the 2 nasty boys as they learned this fact when bubs first shark let loose! 🎣7 yo and I tag teamed reeling in our second shark of the day - let’s just say reeling these suckers in are not for the weak! Expect every muscle to ache the next day! 🦈🦈 Husband and 10 yo hooked 2 sharks at the same time and fought them both to the boat! 🧑🧑🧒🧒As a family we caught over 10 sharks!

5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on September 14, 2025 • 2 adultsGreat time fishing with Jeff, Pat, and Devon. My 11-year old and I did the four hour shark trip. Slow day with the current not moving. At the end of our time, we still hadn’t caught anything and they stayed longer to make sure we didn’t go home without landing something. It paid off as we ended up with what we estimated to be a 7ft, 200lb shark. Would definitely book again.

5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 19, 2025 • 10 adultsBooked for 10 people for shark fishing for a bachelor party weekend. 30minutes to the lighthouse and immediately hooked back to back doubles. Caught a total of 8 sharks (duskys/sand tigers) but all 10 guys got to hook on to fish. The crew was super helpful, knowledgeable and just great people. Highly recommend booking for charter fishing! They’ll be hearing from us again in the future for sure!
Joe Haddock5.0VerifiedGreat experience!
5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 10, 2024 • 5 adultsWe had a great experience on our shark fishing trip! Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable and his enthusiasm had us all excited to fish. We had five in our group and everyone surfaced a shark. Best of all, we had a lot of fun doing so! We caught sand tiger and dusky sharks and we learned a lot about fishing in the local area. Captain Brenden was very helpful in ensuring we had a productive trip. Nice surprise in the end to learn that the crew took photos and videos and shared them with us. Great experience and highly recommend!
Nicholas SebastianRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing Trip
6 Hour Trip on July 3, 2025 • 8 adultsCapt Terry asked what type of fishing we wanted to do and he put us on the meat. We caught Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and a Bonita. The crew was great and made sure that lines got back in the water right away. Capt Terry stayed on the fish right up to when it was time to go back in to the dock. No stop action from start to finish.

5 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 28, 2025 • 8 adultsGreat experience with this charter. Captain & mates delivered on catching a shark for every paying customer in a 4hr period. Impressed with their knowledge and ability to teach newbies to the experience. Highly recommended these guys 👍
Joe SchatzRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMade the best out of bad weather
6 Hour Trip on May 31, 2025 • 5 adultsCaptain Terry and his crew did a fantastic job putting us on some fish on a windy day on the Delaware Bay very erratic in the season. Once we got on them the action didn’t stop. Thank you to the whole crew for a fun trip

Booked Mandalu Sportfishing for a saturday trip for 4 adults and 2 children (7 and 13). Weather was great, the captain and the mate were very knowledegable and kept us on fish the entire time. I would reccommend booking with Mandalu for charter, I've been burned a few times in the past these guys were upfront and honest.
Jeff and Devin were amazing and we had so much fun from beginning to end! Jeff was great and talked us through the process ahead of time and tempered expectations and talked through potential challenges, but we ended up catching eight shark and had an amazing tine. Would recommend to everyone and can’t wait to come back!
My 11 year old son caught 10 big sharks and I caught 2. Captain Bob and First Mate Ron were so nice and super helpful. We made great memories and definitely will do another charter with them in the future and you should too.
