Captain Mark Hansen can’t wait to help you land a mighty fish aboard Treemendous Sportfishing Charters! Along with his experienced crew, his number one goal is to put you on the catch of your dreams and make sure you have the adventure of a lifetime out on Brigantine’s fish-filled waters.
Capt. Mark is an experienced captain who has been fishing these local waters for over 40 years. It’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about casting a line in these waters! Whether you want to hook that East Coast favorite, Striped Bass.
You’ll be fishing from a 35’ Henriques Downeast, originally built in 1981 and restored in 2002 with some TLC. She’s powered by a 350 HP Cummins engine with a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots, making her a safe and powerful vessel. There’s room on board for up to 6 guests.
This vessel features an enclosed heated cabin, so your trip will be enjoyable no matter whether you’re taking the family out on a cloudy day, or are seeking some shade during the warm summer months. She truly is a boat for all seasons!
This charter’s crew has so much knowledge of the local waters that it will be able to put you on great fish wherever you chose to go. On shorter trips, you’ll be catching Striped Bass, Bluefish, Flounder, Black Seabass, and Weakfish.
The crew will provide rods, reels, and tackle, as well as live bait, lures, and a fishing license. They use the finest quality tackle and gear available to aid your fishing experience, so please be sure to use it with care! You’ll have a first mate on service who works hard for a 20% tip. Cleaning and filleting is available upon request.
Capt. Mark and his crew are waiting to show you what Brigantine’s waters have to offer. Come cast off on an incredible adventure with Treemendous Sportfishing Charters!

4 Hour Trip – Bay (AM) on June 25, 2025
We had an absolutely incredible experience aboard the Treemendous Sportfishing private charter! From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the day ahead. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and clearly maintained with care. A huge thank you to Mark and Matt — they were knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They knew exactly where to take us for the best chance at landing fish, and we weren’t disappointed — we caught some real monsters! Their expertise and patience made it a fantastic trip for both experienced anglers and first-timers. This wasn’t just a fishing trip — it was a full-on adventure with great company, beautiful scenery, and memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing charter, Treemendous Sportfishing is the one. We’ll definitely be booking again soon!

6 Hour Trip – Reef/Wreck/Bottom on June 8, 2025
I booked a 6hr trip for 4 of us. It was one of the first trips I’ve been able to take my 9 yr old son on. Captain Mark was very responsive to any questions we had on the trip. We got to the dock about 30 min before departure time. Everything was ready to go, and we were able to depart early which was great. The water was a bit rough along with reduced visibility. Mark did an amazing job navigating and getting us to the desired spot. First mate Matt did a great job getting all the lines rigged and ready to go with no delay. We started getting bites almost immediately after dropping anchor. Caught mostly sea bass with a few keepers. Overall a really great day trip and an amazing experience for my son. Will definitely be scheduling more trips when we make it back in the area. Many thanks to Captain Mark and Matt both.

6 Hour Trip – The Back Bays on June 15, 2025
Waves were too high to go offshore so we stayed in the bay. Capt Mark tried real hard to put us on some fish. We caught 3 flounder, 1 keeper, and a few blue crabs. So we had an appetizer and a meal. 😊 Mate Matt was great too. Would book again! Great guys.

We had a blast with Captain Mark and first mate Matt. They showed us the ropes and humored our flounder puns. We had an absolute blast. Definitely worth it! Thanks, guys!
