  Great Captain, Great Stories, Great Day

  Half Day Morning Trip on June 13, 2026 • 3 adults

  We had a fantastic time on our charter with Captain Doug. From start to finish, his communication was excellent and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. Captain Doug is incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of great stories that made the trip even more memorable. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a good time and had everything they needed. His knowledge of the local waters and inlets was impressive, and it was clear he knows the area like the back of his hand. We truly appreciated the effort he put into making the day special for everyone on board. We look forward to booking another charter with Captain Doug in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

  My son, daughter-in-law and I went out early in the morning with Doug and it was a fantastic morning! The boat was well stocked, Doug was very knowledgeable about the area, we caught all kinds of fish, conversation was great and we had such a great time together! We would definitely book with Doug again!

  Great fishing trip!

  3 hour trip – Special on August 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  Captian Doug was knowledgeable, kind, showed us good fishing spots, and shared stories! We had a lot of fish on and even got some good keepers including a 19” and 20” flounder. All around a great trip and we will be booking again in the future when we are back in NJ!

  Captain Doug was fantastic. He is an expert in the field and was so friendly and engaged with the whole family. we caught so many fish, and have the best time. We went today, and my son asked if we could fish with him tomorrow. Can’t do tomorrow but we will definately go out again with Captain Doug soon!

  Solid Morning Outing!

  3 hour trip – Special on July 5, 2026 • 2 adults

  We enjoyed our 3 hour trip with Captain Doug. We was fun to talk to and had a ton of knowledge to share about the Bay and other local Wildlife. It stormed pretty hard the night before our trip, but we still had about 10-12 catches as a boat - all flounder, one keeper.
