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!

As a visitor to New York, I wanted something more than city streets and skyscrapers — and Austin Outfitters delivered just that. In just one trip, we caught 15+ fish including beautiful Summer Flounder, and spent a blissful day immersed in nature. Captain Austin is a consummate professional: knowledgeable, passionate, and kind, with over 20 years of experience and a spotless, well-run operation. It’s amazing how close New Yorkers are to the water, yet how few truly enjoy it — sometimes it takes a visitor to show how much fun is waiting just offshore. If you’re in the city and want a unique experience that feeds the soul (and the family), this is it. 10/10 — highly recommended.

In planning a family trip to NYC, our fishing-loving 11 year old son asked if we could go on a fishing excursion. While a bit unusual considering all of our other tourist destinations (first time in NYC for our boys), we were up for giving it a try. Wow, Austin Outfitters made our trip!  Captain Austin was very helpful through the booking process and a great communicator all along the way - super responsive to all of our questions via the app. The best part, we just showed up to the marina and he had everything handled. He asked good questions about what experience we were looking for, and got us on the fish right away. Our two boys had a great time pulling in multiple kinds of fish. He also provided interesting information about the fish species, tides, weather, etc. Overall, Captain Austin is a great guy who loves NY and loves fishing. We would highly recommended Austin Outfitters!

My son and I had a wonderful time with Captain Austin.  He’s an excellent fisherman, does a great job of getting you in position to catch fish, and is very engaging.  Caught multiple species and learned a lot about the local fishing grounds.  Highly recommend anyone interested in fishing the waters around NYC to connect with Captain Austin and enjoy an awesome trip!
