There's a fish with your name on it in Waterford and Drifter Charters will help you catch it!
Striped Bass, Bluefish, Skipjack, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Scup (Porgy), Black Seabass, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using the appropriate size tackle.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
You'll be welcome aboard a 30' MDI downeast that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It's always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Drifter Charters?

Had a GREAT time with Captain Beers, and 1st Mate Drew! They were very friendly, professional, and they really cared about putting us on the fish. We EASILY caught our limit of Bluefish, and Captain Beers even stayed longer than our scheduled time, to try and get us on some Stripers and Tuna. This Captain and Crew were AWESOME! Highly recommend them!

Booking the trip was super easy. Captain Gerry and his first mate made this trip memorable for my dad and 3 boys. The slip was easy to find. Once we made out to the race Captain Gerry had us on the fish 🐟. When it was time to fish for Blue Fish he made sure we caught our fair share. Well worth the money spent for such a great time. Don't hesitate to book your next Charter with Captain Gerry! 5 Stars 🌟

we had a blast though leaving with sore muscles and a smile. My co-workers joined me on a retirement party today and it could not have had a better experience. Gerry and Drew were awesome, down to earth people who were both knowledgable, kind and experts at what they do.
