Super sharp tidy boat and nice equipment. Jay knows his stuff and got us to the fish. Also saw other sea critters and birds. Great day on the water. Can’t wait to go back with Jay.

Trips with Capt. Jay Villani
on September 14, 2025

I’m happy to recommend a trip with Captain Jay having spent dozens of days on the water with him after brook trout in western Maine, steelhead in New York, summer stripers off the beaches and islands around Casco Bay, or fall Cod on the offshore ledges. Beyond the top notch gear and boat, he’s simply a fun, interesting and knowledgeable guy to spend a day on the water with. If you get a chance to book a trip, do it.
