Great time.
5/5
Me and my son had a great time today fishing. The boat is beautiful. We caught so many sharks that our arms were too tired to catch any more. Ray and Tim were awesome. Highly recommend

Great fishing trip!
5/5
We had an amazing experience with Captain Scott! Despite less-than-perfect weather, he went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time on the water. My 9-year-old son and I learned so much throughout the trip. Captain Scott's patience with kids and deep knowledge of the sea truly stood out. I highly recommend booking this fishing trip — it’s an unforgettable experience for all ages!

5/5
Even though a hurricane stopped us from going out on the ocean we still had a good time. Caught some fish and hung out on the river. Appreciate Captain John and first mate Eddie accommodating us. Will 100 percent be back for another trip

Simply amazing!

We couldn’t ask for a better day fishing in the inland waters around Belmar for Fluke. Captain Joe was amazing all around, he knows the waters and always put us on the fish. Can’t wait to be back for some more fishing adventures. Thanks again!
