Hello everyone, my name is Captain Steve. I own and operate the very successful Sea Queen vii. We are located in Brooklyn in the Sheepshead Bay on Emmons ave @ Peir 5. We target and specialize in Striped Bass, Blues, Fluke Blackfish and other local fish. We run half and full day trips and private charters. My Crew ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of the New York bight. The crew will demonstrate techniques such as bottom fishing, drifting live bait, jigging, or something unique to the area. The only way to learn is to join us on the water. Our Biggest striped bass to date is close to 71 pounds and was safely released. I have been fishing for over 50 years and have been party boat fishing for the last 26 years. I can guarantee you this, I will give you 100 % every time I am behind the wheel. If you like the breeze of the ocean, cool beverages, maybe even a cigar, and catching big fish come give us a try. Please refer to our website for more info.

    Best chol hamoed family trip ever!!

    1 PM Half Day Fluke • 18 adults • 4 children

    We took our large extended family on the afternoon trip. Many first time fishers. Crew was very patient and kind. Everyone caught something although we had to throw them back in because they were less than 16 inches. Whether was beautiful, we loved that we were allowed to bring our own food, it was a wonderful afternoon!!

    Awesome experience

    1 PM Half Day Fluke • 2 adults

    Mike and Trent were the ones helping us out. They took the time to help me as it was my first time fishing on a boat. So much fun. They went above and beyond to be present for my 80 year old grandpa. Boat is old but crew did a great job keeping it sanitized and clean. We were along the shore and fished stop and drop. Went to a few places. Would recommend people visiting or local New Yorkers to try them out

    Thank You. See you again

    The crew was great, the ride was fun, and the fishing was lack luster not because of the crew or anything we caught some but for being out there i thought we would catch way more. But that was just my experience on ankther part of the hoat they were catching fish like every 2min overall great experience and definitely will be going back i want my cooler filled up next time.

    Reported catch:
    Scup (Porgy)
    Weakfish
    Black Seabass

    It was an incredible, authentic experience. The crew took great care of us, and we caught two flounders. One of the most memorable experiences in New York. I highly recommend it!

7 pm to Midnight trip

Nov 11, 2024 • New York City
On the Night trips we use live eels and drift fish. It hasn’t been as action packed as the 7 am jig trip but there are more and more fish starting to bite at night. The moon is on the 11/15 and we are predicting a good night of fishing.
