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.
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.
Captain Robert was amazing! He made sure our first family fishing trip was unforgettable. He was incredibly patient with my children, professional, and knowledgeable. He took the time to make sure everyone felt comfortable and ensured we had a great time. Overall, I highly recommend Captain Robert for your next fishing adventure. We are looking forward to book another trip with him in the future!

We had a beautiful day on the water with Capt. Robert. The fishing was a little slow, but we still caught a couple of fluke, some sand sharks, and a few robins. Capt. Robert was very kind, attentive, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. We’d definitely go out with him again!
Enjoyed the day out. Caught flounders, sea bass, sea robins, weak fish and a skate. Thanks and see you again soon!

First fishing experience for my kids on a boat and Captain Rob made it unforgettable! Beautiful boat, great fishing gear, and the captain who cares. Had plenty of action, got two keepers and two happy kids! Happy Birthday, Captain!

Captain Robert is a great guy! kind and patient…goes aboive & beyond. We may not have catch much due to the weather but we had a blast. Thanks Captain.
We had such a great time! Caught so many cool fish and my boys learned a ton. I would definitely recommend booking Special K!

It was great to be on your boat…you were so attentive the whole time .. my grandsons first fishing trip was a success thanks

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.

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.

Hi Rachel, Thanks so much for the kind words, and your generosity. Had a great time with you guys today and yes the dolphins definitely made things more interesting. hope to see you again. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

We had such an amazing time with Captain Robert a few weeks ago that we immediately booked a second trip with him for yesterday—and he delivered again! Captain Robert knows these waters inside and out. The moment our first line hit the water, we were bringing fish on board his beautiful boat! His knowledge, patience, and helpful attitude made the whole experience effortless and fun. If you’re looking for a top-tier charter experience, Captain Robert is your guy. We’re already looking forward to our next trip with him!

Hi Sandra had a fantastic time with you guys, perfect weather, lots of fish and good company. So glad you guys had a great time. Enjoy the rest of your summer and hope to see you again soon. Thanks again.

Second time going with the Captain and it was great again! we had action, got a couple of keepers and enjoyed a beatifyl day on a squeaky clean boat. Thank you!

Hi Aleksey, thank you so much for letting me take you out for a second time and trusting me to show you a good time. I enjoyed your family’s company and hope you had a great dinner with your catch. Hope to see you next season, and thank you for your generosity.
