My wife and I had an absolutely great time! We booked a 4 hour morning trip and Captain Austin was as friendly as can be also extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Most importantly he had us catching fish throughout the whole trip from the first cast to the very last. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to fish in the lower NYC area and will most likely book another trip with him when we come back. 5 Stars!

We took a chance spending one of our precious New York days out on the water instead of sightseeing, shopping or dining and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire trip.

I went fishing with Captain Austin and my two boys (9 and 11 years old), and it was absolutely epic. Austin is not only a master fisherman who knows Jamaica Bay like the back of his hand, but also an incredible teacher and guide, especially with kids. He was patient, kind, and turned every moment into an opportunity for my boys to learn, cast, reel, and have fun.

Everything about the experience was smooth, safe, and unforgettable. The views of Manhattan and Brooklyn from the bay are breathtaking, and the thrill of catching fish made it even better. My kids were beyond excited, and as a parent, watching their faces light up every time they felt a bite is something I’ll never forget.

After all the amazing things we did in New York — Times Square, Central Park, the musicals, shopping — this trip with Austin stands out as the most special moment of our vacation. The service, the attention to detail, the calm atmosphere on the water… it’s simply 100 out of 100.

If you’re in New York with family, kids, or even a group of friends, don’t miss this experience. The price is a bargain for what you get.

Thank you, Austin, for making this day unforgettable for us. 🎣💙

Unforgettable Fishing Trip – Above and Beyond!

Austin was absolutely amazing! He waited patiently even though we were very late and never made us feel rushed; instead he stayed out late to make sure we got the experience of a lifetime. He went above and beyond to make the trip special—especially for my 8-year-old son, who caught an actual shark! 

Kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, he made the whole experience fun and memorable—complete with offering ice cold water and granola bars he keeps for guests. If you’re looking for the best guide out there, this is the one. Highly recommend!

Capt Austin was a great guide! Excellent communication and made me and my son feel incredibly welcomed. We tried several fishing spots, and caught new species of fish that made my son quite happy! Great for anyone, but I especially recommend for those with kids. Highly recommended!!
