North Fork Adventures Charters

North Fork Adventures Charters invites you for a day on the water of Southold and Shelter Island, New York. The charter was formed to provide anglers with an exceptional customized experience on the local waters. It is operated by Captain Rob, who is a local angler in love with the thrill of fishing these waters. Located just west of Greenport, the boat is conveniently situated to downtown Greenport and Southold.

Capt. Rob will show you how it’s done. With more than 30 years of experience, he knows exactly what works and when it works. He will take you out on his 25’ Parker walkaround boat, which provides an exceptionally comfortable ride. It is powered by two 150 HP Yamaha outboard engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 30 knots.

It has a deep-vee hull and a wide beam which both contribute to your enjoyment on the vessel, and its fishing platform will give you plenty of space and opportunities to catch the fish of your dreams.

The captain can take you on a customized fishing trip so you can target the species that you want to catch. Depending on the season, you can fish for Flounder/Fluke, Bluefish, Black Seabass, Tautog, Weakfish, Porgy, and Striped Bass.

All of our trips are designed to maximize your time on the water.  Since we don’t have much running time to the grounds, we usually fish for the full time, then run back to the dock.  Your trip starting times are also flexible to suit your schedule as well as the tide cycle. This flexibility will give you the opportunity to maximize the fishing. The charter is made for a group of up to 6 anglers. Kids are most welcome so bring them along to learn about the greatness of the local fisheries and to experience a nice family bonding adventure.

Join North Fork Adventures Charters and experience some great fishing off the coast of New York!

    Set out at sunset to chase one of the northeast's most elusive gamefish, the Striped Bass. This fishing takes place farther from home in the waters of Plum Gut or the Race. The fish is larger and we fish in deeper water and stronger current. This is a trip for up to 4 Anglers. We leave the dock at approx. 6:30 p.m. and fish through dusk. Enjoy some amazing sunsets, and the chance to catch this amazing fish.

    Blackfish season ! These tasty fish are in season in October, it's more weather dependent, and a bit of a longer run, but the fishing is worth it. The run is out to Plumb Island, so dress warm and a great day can be had. This trip is for 4 Anglers only. Departure times are predicated on the tide cycle.

    During the summer season, Montauk is where the bigger fish are. Come out fishing in some larger water just minutes off of famous Montauk Point. This is a 6-hour trip that targets larger Fluke and Black Sea Bass. You will get out into the ocean, but still be close to shore. It's a great trip to fill your coolers with great fillets. This trip is for 6 anglers.
