Open Water Charters 

5.0/5 (7 reviews)
 6 Tepee Street, Hampton Bays, NY 11946, United States

If you’re in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Open Water Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Brett, offering years of sportfishing experience.

Around here the fishing is popular for Fluke, Bluefish, Black Seabass, Striped Bass, Scup (Porgy), Tautog, Red Hake, Shark and more if you come at the right time of year. On the day of your trip you’re likely to drift fish using heavy tackle. Light tackle would be available when fishing inshore.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 32’ Albermarle sportfishing boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

It’s never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

I booked with Captain Brett for myself and my family to go fishing while visiting the Hamptons. We had a fantastic time on the water and caught SO many fish! Everyone caught and had fun the entire time. So glad we booked!

Thank you captain and your crew John for showing a great time fishing with my son and Percy. It’s shared moments that I’ll never forget and remember forever. We didn’t just got our limits but we were able to catch and release over 30 rock bass and used up all our live bait. Thank you again captain.

These guys work very hard to make sure you have an enjoyable excursion. They explained everything from the slope in the Chanel to the different fish, lures and bait. We will schedule this trip again. Thanks Brett & John

We had such a fantastic day! Captain Brett was so patient and helpful with my two kiddos. The boat was very comfortable and we caught more fish than we knew what to do with!
