Make an adventure out of your next fishing trip in Perth Amboy.  We also do statue of liberty and sunset cruises for corporate or families and friends. 

Depending on the season and conditions, you may target Striped Bass, Flounder, Black Seabass, Bluefish, and more. Bottom fishing with light tackle is a popular way to enjoy these waters.

Families are welcome aboard, and kids can join the fun! Children must wear life vests, so check in advance to make sure the appropriate size is available. Bringing snacks is also a good idea to keep everyone fueled throughout the trip.

Your boat for the day is a 75-foot Gillikin headboat with space for up to 70 passengers. The vessel is equipped with all the essentials, including men's and ladies' restrooms for your convenience.

Rods and reels are available free of charge on all trips, or you are welcome to bring your own. A First Mate will also be on board to assist throughout the trip. Mates work hard to make your experience enjoyable, so a 20% tip is customary.

No fishing license is required, as it is provided by the vessel.

Be sure to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is permitted in moderation, but hard liquor and glass bottles are not allowed.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Perth Amboy for yourself aboard Canyon Eagle III!

    Fishing Adventure Awaits!

    7 Hr – Open Boat Special | Adult 75 on July 16, 2025 • 3 adults

    My family and I had the pleasure of having Captain Nick and his crew Tim and John today. This was our first and definitely not the last adventure we will share with the crew. Everything was smooth and ran like a super seasoned professional crew would. They promised us to catch fish. They smashed it. They promised us the best service. They were extremely fast, helpful, and shared their wealth of fishing knowledge. They promised to make this a memorable trip. They achieved that goal and even got my teenage daughter to catch fish and have fun. It was worth every penny to see her smile and enjoy the outdoors. Thank you from my family to yours.

    8 Hr – Private Fishing Trip on September 28, 2025 • 17 adults

    Had a very good experience during the booking, pre-trip communication and instructions and, fishing. The boat Captain was in direct contact responding to any questions immediately before the trip. He also kept moving the boat to where we all were able to catch fishes. Boat was clean and ready ahead of time. Crew took good care of us, assisting with the fishing and cut/cleaned the catch,
