Captain Sal and his crew will provide you with the necessary fishing gear that includes rods, reels, tackle, live and artificial baits, a fishing license, and you’ll have a first mate on board, too.
They are able to take seasoned anglers out, but are also very good at teaching and are very patient with beginners. They love taking families with small children on the water and teaching them all about this amazing fishery that produces a wide variety of species.

5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)
My daughter and I had a great time with Moondance. We caught tons of fish, all of which were filleted and cleaned. They packed them in ice and sent us over to Sam’s Star Island Grill where Tom made us fish tacos on the spot. Great day, great company, great (fresh caught) lunch !

If you want to catch fish, Sal will put you on them. By far the best charter. Thanks again Captain!
