Nightjack Sportfishing
Nightjack Sportfishing
Nightjack Sportfishing invites you for a day full of adventure chasing fish in the abundant waters of Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The charter is owned and operated by Captain John Alves who has fished since he was a child and loves spending every minute on the water. He enjoys taking new and returning guests out and showing them all the thrills these waters offer.
Capt. John will take you aboard the 'Nightjack,' a 32' Levy downeast, powered by a 330 HP Cummins engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots. She's a huge Canadian-built boat known as a 'Novi.' Known for their size and beams, Novis are incredibly sound and feature a half-enclosed cabin that will protect you come rain or shine, and comes fitted with a toilet. She can carry up to 6 anglers on inshore and offshore trips.
You'll target Striped Bass, bluefish, Fluke, Weakfish, and more. Or, take a trip offshore to find big game fish like Bluefin Tuna. You can also target the frightening Mako and Thresher Sharks, and, during the summer months, go after delicious Mahi Mahi.
Nightjack Sportfishing takes its fishing seriously. There is a fighting chair for you to battle the big fish, a livewell for bait, and all the USCG-approved safety equipment for when the waters get choppy. The whole family is welcome to see what real fishing is about, and Capt. John can't wait to welcome you aboard again and again. Whichever trip you choose, you're in for an unforgettable adventure.

Captain John and his son were great. I had family visiting from Texas and all 4 of us caught a striper. I highly recommend booking with them.
Thanks Brandon! Hope to get you guys back out in the future. Great talking with you and your dad!
Captain John and his son Ryan were extremely knowledgeable and attentive when we needed help or had questions. Caught a lot of striped bass and some Black Sea bass
Thank You for the review Ryan! Great to get a limit in a three inch slot, lots of beautiful fish released. Appreciate having you guys out. John
Thanks Alex! Hope to have you guys back out again soon! John
I highly recommend using NightJack Sportfishing if you are planning a fishing trip. Capt John and Ryan worked very hard to ensure we all had the best experience during our time with them. Besides working with every member of our group in fishing techniques, they also provided us information about each of the fish caught, and the area where we were boating! I just want to thank John and Ryan for a very memorable day!
Thank You Paul! Great to have you guys out, awesome group! Thank you for the professionally done photos as well! John
