    Fantastic boat trip

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 16, 2026 • 3 adults

    Great 4 Hour Trip with Captain Paul in Majestic! We had an amazing time on our 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Paul. Caught multiple fish throughout the day and had a blast the whole time. Paul was super knowledgeable and helpful, gave us great tips and made sure we knew what we were doing every step of the way. He was also really accommodating and patient with us, especially since we were absolute beginners. Paul made us feel comfortable and confident out on the water, and he was just genuinely friendly the whole trip. Highly recommend Captain Paul if you're looking for a fun, relaxed, and successful fishing trip. Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

    PB Fluke!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    Paul was exactly the Captain you want; knowledgable, experienced, helpful, and creative! My son (13-yr old) and I had a fantastic trip with him fishing for Fluke, Stripped Bass, and Bluefish. He knew all the right spots, chased the bite for us and got the bait when we needed it the most. My son caught his first Flukes along with a PB (24-inch for him) and had some great fights with the Bluefish. We worked hard to get on some Stripped Bass but the Bluefish were more active. I hooked one that got away while kissing the boat. Hah! All in all, a trip to remember for my son and I, thanks Paul.

    Awesome Trip & Awesome Captain!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 19, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great time and an awesome knowledgeable and experienced captain. Had great conversation the entire time and he was super accommodating. Some of the group was pretty inexperienced when it came to fishing and the captain was super helpful explaining everything to all of us. Great humor, super patient and knows the waters well. 10/10 experience and we and 100% recommend One Bite Charters and will be booking another trip.

    My son and I were on LI for a Lax tournament and were looking to fill the afternoon with some fishing. We had a fantastic time! Paul was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The boat was clean and well equipped. He put us on fish right away and my son caught his first stripper! I would highly recommend captain Paul. We'll definitely be back next year!
