Moondance Charters Of Montauk and TUNA TIME invite you on a fishing extravaganza in the waters of Montauk, New York. Montauk is a fishing haven known for its excellent fishery and top boat captains. One of these top captains is Captain Sal Trapani. Captain Sal has fished the inshore and offshore waters of Montauk for over 35 years and is keen on showing you his favorite secret fishing spots.

TUNA TIME is the new SeaVee tuna boat that cruises at 40 mph. Gets you tuna fishing in no time!

Seahorse, the roomy and comfortable 35’ Bruno is the inshore boat.

You will be offered full service on both vessels. Bot vessels are fully equipped with all the USCG approved safety equipment such as life jackets, EPIRB, and a CPR-trained crew. You will also find all the navigational features needed to make your trip productive, and these features include a GPS, a radar, a marine radio, and a fishfinder.

Some of the species you can target on your inshore trip include the famous big Montauk Striped Bass, Tuna, Black Seabass, Tautog, Scup, Bluefish, and Flounder.

If you venture further out you can expect to target Bluefin, and Yellowfin Tuna, for an experience you’ll never forget.

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.

So, block out a day, book a trip that most suits you, and come and enjoy a day of fishing with Moondance Charters of Montauk and TUNA TIME!

5 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 19, 20252 adults
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 !
