There’s a fish with your name on it in Ramsgate and Better Days Charter will help you catch it! With Captain Daniel at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Bass, Smooth-Hounds, Rays, Atlantic Mackerel, Conger Eel, Cod, Pollock, Flounder, Whiting, and more can be found in these waters if you come at the right time of year. You’ll target your catch by spinning, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your excursion begins aboard a 33’ Suffolk 35 fishing boat that holds up to 10 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If you have any questions about fishing with Better Days Charter, feel free to send Capt. Daniel a message down below.

We had an amazing time on this fishing trip! It was a perfect activity for families and kids. With the expert guidance of Captain Daniel and Lee, we caught a lot of fish with ease, even as first-time fishers. It was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended! =)

Captain Daniel has gone far and beyond to create a memorable experience for our 10 year old. With Dan’s assistance he's added 4 new species to his collection that day. Definitely a day to remember, and definitely we’ll be coming back!
