City Hawk Charters
City Hawk Charters
Winner of FishingBooker's Angler's Choice Award! City Hawk Charters has also been rated the number 1 private fishing charter by Fishing Booker for the past three years out of 95+ other local charters based upon client reviews. With Captain Tim and/or Captain Paul at the helm, with a combined 75+ years of fishing these local waters, you're in experienced hands.
These waters hold fish like Striped Bass, Haddock, Flounder, Cod, Mackerel, Bluefin Tuna, and more. For certain species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep and the cost of cleaning your fish is included. Although there is never a guarantee to catch fish, any day on the water, is a good day.
You'll step aboard either a 2022 Parker 2820 XLD Sport Cabin vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers or a 2023 Sea Fox Commander that can carry up to 4 passengers. There's a toilet on board for your convenience and the pilot house on the Parker 2820 allows you to step out of any type of weather conditions. Fishing gear is provided by the charter as well as bait and lures. Live bait is also included and you may be catching it yourself.
We do require a mandatory service charge of a 20% automatic gratuity on top of the price of each charter that is to be paid prior to the boat departing from the dock. Example: charter that costs $500 requires a mandatory Service Charge of a 20% automatic gratuity of $100. Please keep this in mind when booking.
The charter boat covers your fishing license! The wide variety of species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Capt. Tim and Capt. Paul are happy to have kids aboard so please bring them along! Children under 12 years old must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It's always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation.

July 3 was a beautiful morning to be on the water. We had two beginners with us so the bait-fishing portion of the trip was great for instruction and building confidence. There we caught mostly mackerel with a pollack and few baby cod. Captain Rick was super-knowledgeable and very kind with my kids. No luck today with the striper but luck is all that was. City Hawk definitely set us up for success. We definitely recommend City Hawk and Captain Rick for your next charter.
Thanks you for your five star review and we hope to see you again in the future.
The hospitality was nothing short of amazing!! Captain Paul put us on the fish all morning. Whether it was first thing going out catching our live bait or catching the strippers throughout the day. We all caught fish and we couldn’t have been happier with this charter experience. We will absolutely be making this an annual tradition and certainly making many more memories like we did today!! Great crew, great fish, and great experience!! Thanks again!!
We look forward to seeing you again each season.
Captain put the boat right of a full house of mackerel, cod, and pollack. Kids 11 and 8 had a ball hauliing up fish and releasing them for future anglers.
