Babu Sport Fishing Charters, Inc.
Are you looking for some relaxing fishing in the calm bays of New Jersey? Maybe some offshore reel-screaming action? Both of those, and anything in between can be found on trips with Babu Sport Fishing Charters, owned by Captain John, and currently operated by Captain Branco, Captain James, and Captain John himself.
Join all our Captains aboard the 26' Twin Vee Catamaran. Her hull design allows for great mobility for anglers on board, so you can bring 5 of your fishing buddies with you. She's powered by twin Mercury Verado engines with 300 HP each – you can cruise at a max speed of 40 knots.
Serious fishing requires fishing equipment and you're in luck! She's equipped with both outriggers and downriggers, extending your reach out and below when trolling. Live bait well allows your bait fish to stay spry and appetizing long after it's been plucked from the water. A first mate is also on board to assist you with whatever you need and help make your trip a memorable one.
Your safety is the Captains' primary concern and the boat is equipped to all USCG standards. Advanced fish finding and navigation equipment are on board, so you don't waste time looking for fish and spend more time catching it.
You can pick and choose from a variety of gorgeous fish species to go after. Whatever your taste is, Babu Sport Fishing Charters has a trip for you. Whether it's fishing for Flounder in the Bay or going on an epic offshore adventure for Bluefin Tuna, you're in good hands. Other notable species you can go after are a variety of Sharks, Black Seabass, Black Drum, Mahi Mahi, Little Tunny, and whatever else takes the bite.
If you're a Bass fanatic, this is the place to go for that personal best – there are numerous Striper fishing trips to choose from.
You will be provided with all required equipment on this trip, for up to 4 anglers. Contact the captain in advance if you're booking a trip for a larger party.

Altoona, PA, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedHow big can a flounder get?
6 Hour Trip – Bay on May 10, 2024 • 2 adultsThis is what I asked Captain Tim just before catching a keeper! Captain Tim at Babu Sport Fishing Charters, was very personable and knowledgeable! Tim treated us like family and not just a client . He is very aware of where to go to catch certain fish and what time of the day that would be better to start your trip and to finish the trip. We hope to make it back again, thanks again Captain Tim.

6 Hour Trip – Ocean on September 14, 2024 • 6 adultsThis trip was awesome. Captain and first mate were super helpful, although it was towards end of season they were very transparent on what we’d catch and put us on some good fish! Caught over 5 different species of fish, and ended up with a cooler full of fish to take home! Would reccomend this group for everyone

4 Hour Trip – Bay (AM) on May 22, 2025 • 4 adultsAlways great to get out on the water. Cold windy day that we made the best of getting out there and getting some lines in the water.
Melissa MitchellRepeat angler•Pennsylvania, US•Member since 20204 trips5.0VerifiedMorning Flounder Fishing
4 Hour Trip – Bay (AM) on June 3, 2023 • 6 adults • 2 childrenDuring the 8-12 am trip we never had to many dull moments. The captain knew exactly where to go and was so quick and helpful every time we had fish on to keep getting our lines back in the water. Probably caught well over 40 fish plus crabs. And afterwards, he so kindly filleted our keepers for us to take home. It was an awesome morning! Highly recommend!
Kimberly OneillRepeat angler•Michigan, US•Member since 20213 trips5.0Verified8hr off-shore trip
8 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 6, 2022 • 2 adultsOur trip was amazing! John and Tim were excellent. Both were very nice, knowledgeable, and knew exactly where the fish were. As soon as we dropped our lines in the water we were getting bite after bite! We caught so many sea bass that we lost count. The ones we kept, they cleaned/filleted and put them in a bag on ice for us. We also got to see dolphins along the way. If you want to catch fish and have a great time, these are the guys to go with! Thanks again, John & Tim!

Easily the best fishing charter of all time. We caught at least 100 fish and were able to get some keepers. The Captain Tim was very knowledgeable and brought us to the best locations. I would recommend this charter to every one and every level of fisherman.
Thanks
I was fishing with my grandson and brother-in-law with Capt. Tim. He was very accommodating and worked hard to put us on the fish. We caught enough flounder for a delicious dinner. Our group had a great day on the water and will be going fishing with Capt. Tim again.
