Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
If you're ready to experience fishing in the Raritan Bay and surrounding waters, look no further than Father Time Charters. With Captain Keith, Dan, or Ethan at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Striped Bass, Flounder, Black Seabass, Tautog, Bigeye Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Weakfish, and whatever else takes the bait.
You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Keith also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Children are welcome, so get 'em offline and onto the water!
You'll be casting lines from a 32' Intrepid center console, that fishes up to 6 passengers comfortably. Capt. Keith has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a minimum 20% tip is customary.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

George Zaf5.0Full day trip
Full Day Trip – Inshore + Dock&Dine on April 18, 2026The captain and his crew are absolutely amazing. I’ve been out on his boat for multiple trips whether it was me and my friends or my father and me we always had a good time. The captain always put us on fish and made sure that we were comfortable safe and had a good time and the mate was there to help us with whatever we needed and went above and beyond I would definitely get on his boat again without a doubt in my mind.
Michael Meola5.0Awesome day with Father Time Charters!
