Angler's Choice

Welcome to My Special 'K' Charters, your premier choice for an exceptional fishing experience based in Howard Beach, Queens, NY.

Our prime location at 160th Ave and Cross Bay Blvd serves as the launching point for our adventures. Embarking on our 27' Boston Whaler 270 Vantage, you'll find a vessel that epitomizes safety, reliability, and comfort. Powered by twin 225-horsepower Mercury outboard motors, our boat guarantees swift and smooth transit to and from your chosen destination.

With a capacity to accommodate up to 4 passengers, our charter specializes in the art of bottom fishing in the tranquil, sheltered waters of Jamaica Bay, New York. Our services are tailored to cater to fishing enthusiasts of all levels, especially those new to the sport. Your seasoned Captain boasts over 30 years of experience navigating these waters and is well-versed in catching the diverse array of in-season species that populate the bay.

For your convenience, we provide all necessary bait and tackle to facilitate your angling pursuits. Depending on the prevailing weather conditions and the specific season, you'll have the chance to target Fluke, Scup, Sea Bass, Bluefish, or Weakfish. While we encourage catch and release for conservation, you're more than welcome to retain any legally caught fish. Our team will expertly fillet your catches at the dock, allowing you to take home the fruits of your labor.

Our vessel offers moderate bathroom facilities that are comfortable for women and children. While we provide drinking water, we kindly ask you to bring your own beverages and food. No Hard Liquor, Red Wine or Smoking is permitted aboard the vessel.

For your comfort and safety, we recommend keeping carry-on items to a minimum. A small cooler containing your trip's essentials will be permitted.

Great Captain, Great Boat

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 12, 2026 • 3 adults

We were a group of three on a Friday morning. We were greeted by Captain Rob and arrived on a very clean, impeccably organized boat. Rob‘s very communicative and informative — a rare trait among fishermen I’ve known. He’s not only well-organized, direct, and very helpful, but also manages to stay curious, despite his decades of experience and make his guests feel genuinely welcome. Although we weren’t lucky with keeper sizes, we caught a good amount of variety of fish thanks to him, tirelessly trying to find them. Will definitely go out with him again and strongly recommend his charter.

Hi Can,
Thank you so much, enjoyed the company and the impeccable weather. Unfortunately the big ones were not around today but we kept busy with a variety of fish coming over the rail. As the old saying goes a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work. LOL.. All and All not a bad day 16 fish caught and two were just a half inch short of keeping. Hope to see you guys again. Enjoy yohr summer.

Sharks, Dolphins, and an Unforgettable Day on the Water

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 7, 2026 • 3 adults

We had such a great time fishing with Captain Robert today. We told him we were hoping to catch a shark, and somehow we ended up catching 13 of them, which was honestly insane and way more than we expected. He definitely delivered.

One of the coolest parts of the trip was seeing dolphins. He spotted them himself and brought us over so we could get really close, which made the whole experience even better.

He was also super helpful the entire trip when we were trying to catch fluke — giving us tips, showing us what to do, and really paying attention to making sure we were actually catching fish instead of just sitting around waiting.

You can tell he really cares about giving people a good experience, and it made the day that much more fun. Would 100% recommend booking a trip with him.

Beautiful boat, caring captain, and non-stop action from the first drop!

3/4 Day Trip on August 2, 2025 • 4 adults

Robert communicated well, and made sure we knew everything we needed prior to departure. Upon arrival we were stunned at how luxurious the boat was, a smooth ride, super clean and organized, with way more space than we expected. He not only provided beverages, bait and tackle, but knowledge, kindness and professionalism.

He managed to make sure everyone caught something, took pictures along the way, and sent us home with filets for diner. This trip was relaxing and exciting, filled with magic like seeing our first loggerhead sea turtle, all while keeping the nyc skyline in the background. We caught over two dozen fish, across a number of different species. All though we didn’t get any keeper fluke, Robert kept us on them the whole time, and we managed to score a few cocktail blues and a giant porgy to take home.

Regardless of your skill level Robert is the perfect patient captain who creates a day at sea that is just right for your needs. He's a local, he’s wise, he’s approachable, and he creates an atmosphere that encourages learning from someone who has so much experience to share. We highly recommend Robert for your next fishing adventure, you’ll get way more than you pay for.

Amazing captain and boat, caught +20 fishes

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 5, 2025 • 4 adults

We went for a 4hr fishing trip on a weekend morning, and we were greeted by Capt Rob’s warm and cheerful welcome. It was 4 of us first time going fishing in New York and we’re all relatively beginners, and he was super patient in giving us guidance and tips on how to use the fishing rods. He put on bait each time, release the hook from fishes we caught and offered cold refrigerated drinks. We ended up having more than 20 catches (fluke, sand shark etc) in different areas although none passed the minimum legal size to keep and bring back home. We came super close though (caught a 17” fluke!). We all had a ton of great fun, and would definitely go back to fish with him again!
