Welcome aboard the Queen Mary Open Boat & Charters, the place to be if you’re looking for some great fishing at unbeatable prices. Captain David Riback has been fishing since he was a kid, and he’ll make sure you have an amazing time while reeling in some prized fish.

The Queen Mary is an 85’ Gulf Craft saltwater fishing boat fully restored in 2017. It features a huge cabin with ample covered seating and tables, as well as plenty of room on deck. She is licensed and approved for up to 95 passengers, so space certainly isn’t an issue! The Queen Mary has a large top deck to view the action or just relax and enjoy the scenery.

The Queen Mary also boasts a full array of top-of-the-line electronics, fully USCG-approved safety equipment, and the finest rental fishing equipment available. There are clean separate men’s and women’s toilets, and a professional fish cleaning service available on board.

Capt. David runs from May to December, 7 days a week, providing full day trips. You’ll be targeting a variety of species, such as Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bonito, Weakfish, Flounder, and Porgy, depending on the season.

The crew is a highly skilled and personable team that works tirelessly on each trip to make sure everyone on board has the time of their life. They are always happy to assist and advise anglers of any age or experience level, and you can be sure they will have a trick up their sleeves if the fish aren’t biting!

Fishing tackle is not included in the price, so remember to book with your trip if you don’t have your own! Optional rod rental – regular gear $10, spinning gear $15.

Join Queen Mary Open Boat & Charters and come make some amazing fishing memories!

7H Deep Sea – Adult Rate (Weekday)

Fantastic trip

VERIFIED

I booked this trip for my husband who has mobility challenges. I let the captain know when I made it reservations. He assured me they could handle him. And they sure did. Both the crew and the other anglers were very good to us. Right up to the crew helping him get to the bathroom. Far above and beyond what I expected. As this was most likely the last time he would be able do this, I couldn't have gotten a better results. Thank you all so very much!

7H Deep Sea – Adult Rate (Weekend)

Best crew around!

VERIFIED

Hands down an amazing experience from booking with the Captain all the way down to filleting the fish. Crew was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Every time you pulled a fish in, someone from the crew was there willing to help you unhook and throw it in to your cooler. Rod rentals were very nice. Got the right equipment for the job. We caught bluefish, sea bass, mackerel and some bonitos all from the same set up! The heads on board were clean. The whole ship was clean!! The Clean Queen Mary! Will definitely come back and book other trips.
