Great Mothers Day!
5/5
We celebrated mothers day with this fishing charter. We have a large range of ages in our group. We all had a great time and caught so many fish. The crew worked really hard to ensure we had a fun and engaging time. We greatly appreciated the functional bathroom on bathroom available on board. We did a 6hr fishing charter and walked away with 12 fish, some bluefish and Spanish mackerel. Thank you Brandon, Chris, and Bobby for such a great fishing experience!

The captain and crew were great. The weather played a role in our experience. It ended up being pretty windy at first but when it died down we hooked a few bluefish on the way back in. Enjoyed the great company and a day out on the water!

Highly recommended!
5/5
Captain Kevin and mate Josh were awesome. Myself and my 5 year old son went out for a morning trip for some inland fishing. Not only were Kevin and Josh great at getting fish in the boat, but were extremely patient with a 5 year old full of energy and questions. They got us an inland slam of trout, bluefish, reds and a stud of a flounder. Thank you for a great trip and great memories with my boy. We’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic Day on the Water — Great Crew, Plenty of Fish, and Unforgettable Memories!
5/5
We had an outstanding fishing trip with Captain Kevin and First Mate Josh! My two teenage sons and I had a fantastic time on the water, reeling in plenty of puppy drum, bluefish, and trout. Captain Kevin and Josh made everything smooth, safe, and fun — their knowledge of the area and upbeat, easygoing attitude made for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this crew for anyone looking for a great day of fishing!
