About the trip

Shorter trips are usually a safe option for families with kids, especially if you're not sure if they'll like being on the boat. With a short trip like this, nobody will get bored and you still have more than enough time to catch Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. Bring snacks and drinks.

Superb Fishing

VERIFIED

My family of 5 booked this trip as our first ocean fishing trip and let’s say we are already discussing a full day trip for next summer. The Captain made the ride so smooth and enjoyable and the first mate was great at answering all my kiddos questions and explaining different features of the boat and fishing gear.

Nice boat and crew.

VERIFIED

Breakwater and crew were awesome. Though we didn’t catch enough fish due to weather and season. The boat was also limited to only 4 people to catch fish. Other than that, the cabin was spacious and neat and Capt Ashely and Logan were very accommodating.
