Captain Ron is the Real Deal
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 2, 20262 adults

If you’re thinking about booking with Captain Ron, stop thinking and just do it. The guy is an absolute legend. Super personable, funny, easy to talk to, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. From the minute we got on the boat, he made me and my cousin feel like we’d been fishing with a buddy for years. He knew exactly where to put us on the fish and worked his tail off all trip to keep us on them. We caught so many fish we honestly didn’t know what to do with them. It was nonstop action, and every time things slowed down, Captain Ron was already making the next move to get us back on fish. What really stood out was how much he cared about making sure we had an awesome experience. He went above and beyond the entire trip, kept the energy up, taught us a ton, and made the whole day a blast. We were laughing the entire time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for an unforgettable day on the water, this is the charter to book. We’ll 100% be back. Thanks again, Captain Ron—you absolutely crushed it! 🎣👏

55 years of experience fishing Montauk = a good timr
Full Day Trip – Sharks on August 8, 20262 adults2 children

Been out on many charters w/ many diff captains ans Ron is up there at the top for sure. Very patient and informative, transparent on conditions and chances on catching what we wanted, never felt surprised or unclesr on chances. Winds were calling for rough off shore waters and Ron was open about it all and gave us a lot of flexibility. We ended up cstching a decent 6ft 150lb brown shark which kids loved and plenty of black sea bass and porgies. it was awesome cor our kids. going to come back, maknly cause Ron is so awesome

Bad weather
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 20, 20262 adults2 children

Unfortunately we weren’t able to go out due to the weather. I greatly appreciate Captain Ron explaining to the two boys why we couldn’t go. Captain Ron drove us to the montauk lighthouse to validate the weather the conditions and make the extra effort. I really appreciate that we didn’t go and have to turn around and leaving the boys with negative feelings about fishing (first time going for striped bass at the point). Looking forward to booking my next trip with Captain Ron.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on July 8, 20264 adults

we jad a great afternoon fishing with Captain Ron. He found a fishing spot where we caught Silver Snappers all afternoon, some 70 fish in total. We also saw dolphins and a whale. It was truly spectacular. He was great working with my wife and daughter whowere fishing beginners. Just bring snacks and sunscreen and get ready to catch fish.

Ever since 1973, Captain Ron Onorato has been fishing the waters off Montauk. Throughout most of his career, he was a commercial rod & reel fisherman, and he was a pioneer in the art of small boat Giant Bluefin Tuna fishing. He is also one of the few people to have landed two Striped Bass weighing over 60 lbs. All these years of experience will ensure a productive and pleasant experience.
