Capt. Stu McKenzie is experienced in navigating the waters of Kingston, New York, and the near coastal Atlantic Ocean and is ready to take you on a therapeutic fishing excursion. Keep your eyes peeled for Carp, Striped Bass, and Black Drum as you try your hand at bottom fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.

Fish Catching!
Weekend Stripe Bass Spring Run - 12:00 PM on May 3, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children
We went out on a very windy day and we knew it was going to be a challenge but the kids are always game being farm kids and Stu said if we were up for it… glad we did. The kids had an amazing time. Our goal was to land a fish as big as our 7yo daughter and Stu did not disappoint us. He worked so hard using his vast knowledge of the waters. I’ve caught plenty of great fish in my life and was fun to get that and keep it going for my own kids! Captain Stu is great! Stu is also has a wealth of local knowledge that makes waiting on the bite just as exciting. Great time had by all and will do again!

Amazing Captain and an Amazing Day
Weekend Stripe Bass Spring Run - 12:00 PM on May 10, 2026 • 4 adults
Started off windy and had trouble finding fish, but even when we weren't catching fish, Captain Stu kept it fun, and entertaining. He's an amazing guy and extremely funny. We caught a couple schoolies, a nice striper and a nice catfish. We highly recommend this trip!

We had a terrific time on board fishing with the captain. Very fun he was very knowledgeable, knew the area and where the fish liked to be, and knows a lot of awesome local history.

Stu's Cruise on the Hudson
Striped Bass Weekday Special - 10:30 AM on June 4, 2026 • 4 adults
Captain Stu was great. We didn't catch the type we were after, but probably just a timing thing. He did make sure that we at least caught something. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the landmarks we saw along the way. Had a good time. Thanks
