Welcome aboard the Lady Jo.  With 50+ years of experience, we strive to deliver an experience you and your friends/family won't forget. We take it personal and we want to catch fish as much as you do!

The Lady Jo offers a large cockpit with plenty of room for everyone. The spacious salon allows you to get out of the sun/weather with plenty of comfortable seating and bonus bean bag chairs. There is no aft bulkhead which allows everyone to be involved and in on the action, no looking through a window or doorway to see what's happening.

Captain Jon has 25 years of charter fishing experience. Has a degree in Marine Biology and operates the Fishers Island Ferry.

The mate (Mikey) is a 4th generation fisherman and loves what he does. He does a great job keeping everyone busy and entertained. We really enjoy taking families out fishing and kids are always welcome. Child vests are available upon request. We love taking people fishing and getting them hooked up.

🐟 Target striped bass, bluefish, black seabass, scup, fluke
⚓ Safe, comfortable, and family-friendly (bathroom on board)
🧭 Professional captain with local knowledge
🎯 All gear provided

The fighting chairs are a game changer and really gets the adrenaline pumping when you hook into a big one.

🎒 What to Bring
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat
Non-slip shoes (boat-friendly footwear)
Snacks and drinks
Weather-appropriate clothing (it can be cooler on the water!)
Camera

🚫 Please Note:
Please avoid glass containers.
Alcohol in moderation and please limit hard liquor.
Motion sickness remedies recommended if you're unsure…ahead of time!
Fishing licenses are covered—just show up ready to fish!

🌅 Whether you're chasing trophy fish or just soaking in the coastal views, this is your chance to make lasting memories on the water.

📅 Book your trip today and let's go fishing!

Fantastic Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 10, 20262 adults

Both the captain and mate did a fantastic job. Put us the fish right away. Biggest striped bass I've ever caught. The boat was clean and very well equipped. All the tackle was top notch. I'll definitely be back.

Response from Captain

Thank you Ned. It was really nice to have you aboard.

Unforgettable Day on the Water!”
Evening Special on July 20, 20255 adults

If you’re looking for an epic day out on the water, this charter is the real deal. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel like VIPs. Professional, friendly, and full of energy — they knew exactly where the fish were biting and made sure everyone was having a great time, regardless of experience level. Captain Jon knew the perfect spot to find the fish. Everyone caught something ! I would highly recommend and would go again !!!

Response from Captain

Thank you, Matt. It was a nice evening.

We met up with Captain John and Mike at the dock left at the time we were supposed to. We were a party of five I brought three teenage boys and my father-in-law Mike the deck hand was great teach teaching everyone how to use the equipment safely. We caught a ton of fish. It was an awesome experience. Can’t wait to do it again.
