  One word - Phenomenal! Do not overlook this charter!

  Half Day Trip – Inshore MORNING on August 24, 2026 • 4 adults

  We just returned from a fishing charter with Captain Gonzo and Sean, and I can honestly say it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Our group included my husband, our 13-year-old daughter, her best friend, and me, and we were blown away by how they handled everything. From the moment we stepped on board, it felt like fishing with family. The boat was impeccable—clean, well-organized, and clearly well-maintained. The equipment was top-notch, and the crew made sure everything was ready to go so we could focus on the fun part. What really set this trip apart was the expertise and engagement from Captain Gonzo and Sean. They clearly know these waters inside and out. We watched Captain Gonzo constantly monitor the electronics and strategically reposition us to find the best spots, and his intuition was spot-on—we hauled in plenty of fish! While it was the first time fishing for some in our group, Captain Gonzo and Sean were so encouraging and professional that they made everyone feel like seasoned anglers. They kept the energy high, the laughs coming, and the rods bending the entire time. They truly tailored the day to our group’s dynamic, making sure everyone was having a blast. We had such an incredible time that my family is already planning a special trip back to the shore in October specifically to fish with them again. We are already looking at our calendar to book multiple charters with them next year. There aren’t enough stars to rate this experience. If you’re looking for a world-class charter that delivers on every level, look no further than Captain Gonzo and Sean!

  Dina, thank you so much — this review means the world to Sean and me. It was an absolute pleasure having you, Albert, Mia, and Mia’s best friend on board. Watching Mia and her friend light up every time a rod bent, and seeing Albert and you jump right in with them, is exactly why we love running family trips. From the second you stepped on the boat it felt like fishing with friends, and we’re so glad it felt that way to all of you too. Sean and I had a blast working with your group. We’ll be ready for that October trip back to the shore, and we already can’t wait to get multiple dates on the books with you next year. Thank you again for the kind words and for trusting us with your family. Tight lines — see you soon! Capt. Gonzo & Sean Capt Gonzo Charters

  Full Day Inshore Fluke Trip

  Full Day Trip – Inshore on August 2, 2026

  I recently booked an inshore fluke fishing charter with Captain Gonzo, and it was an outstanding experience. I've been fluke fishing for over 25 years, and after hearing that Captain Gonzo specializes in fishing the inshore wrecks, I knew I had to book a trip. Some of my biggest fluke have always come from the artificial wrecks along the New Jersey coast, so I was excited to experience that style of fishing aboard his beautiful Sailfish center console. Powered by smooth, quiet Mercury Verado outboards, we were able to reach the best spots out of Manasquan Inlet in no time. I especially appreciated the extra effort Captain Gonzo put into making sure we had a successful day. Despite a strong south wind and a tough south current, he worked hard to keep us on productive drifts and put us on keeper fish. Using his boat's radar, sonar, and electronics, we stayed on fish throughout the day and enjoyed steady action. Thanks again, Captain Gonzo, for a great trip. I can't wait to get back out on the water with you!

  Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a real pleasure having you aboard for the full-day inshore fluke trip. I always enjoy taking out experienced anglers who appreciate the wreck fishing, and I’m glad we were able to put you on some fish. The Sailfish and those Verados make getting to the spots a lot more comfortable, especially when we’re working the artificials. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review — looking forward to getting you back out there. Tight lines! — Capt Gonzo
