Excellent Half-Day Trip with Captain Al!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 12, 2026

We had an absolute blast on our recent half-day charter with Captain Al! We headed out at 5:00 AM and were back by 10:00 AM, and the action was non-stop. We absolutely hammered the striped bass, catching our limit with plenty of keepers and tons of fun along the way. I’ve fished with Captain Al before, and he never disappoints. He always puts us right on the fish and is incredibly knowledgeable about these waters. His mate, Steve, was fantastic too—he didn't lose a single fish at the boat and gave us great tips on how to bring them in successfully. The boat has everything you need and makes for a very relaxing ride on the way out to the fishing spots. If you want a crew that knows how to find the fish and keep the energy high, book with Captain Al. Highly recommended!

Great Trip with Captain Al and Steve
8 Hour Trip on July 18, 20255 adults

We had a really nice trip fishing for tuna with Captain Al and mate Steve. We caught fish and I had a really pleasant time talking with them both. Nice guys who are obviously very experienced and extremely knowlegable about fishing. Steve worked exceptional hard to give us the best chance to catch the most fish, and it really paid off. Comfortable and fast boat, very well equipped for fishing these waters.

Bluefin Tuna

First time Private Charter
5 Hour Trip (AM) on August 12, 20254 adults

Captain Al and first Mate Steve were great. They were personable and provided coaching where needed. The equipment was top notch, several steps up from the party boats we’ve been on. Captain Al was able to find some hot spots and we took home quite a few keepers, although I was the only one who caught our take home fish. I’d recommend this charter and would take it again if the chance came again

Great all around
Shark Trip on July 22, 20251 adult1 child

We were originally scheduled for a different trip, but I let Captain Al suggest what to do, and how glad I am that we did. We certainly got lucky with a dozen Tuna nicely spread throughout the day, but both of them were great with my son who was also on the trip. Very encouraging as he worked to bring fish in himself. Came home with the limit of delicious fish.

Fantastic Fishing Trip
5 Hour Trip (AM) on August 8, 20255 adults

Had a great experience fishing with Captain Al and first mate Steve. I took my college age son and his friends out for a morning trip and we caught more fish than they could eat. During the trip we hit fish at each spot and many of those hit on almost every cast. Happy to recommend for your next trip.
