  It was a wonderful trip!

  half day trip on September 18, 2026 • 3 adults

  This was definitely one of the best charter trips I’ve ever taken, if not the best. Capt. Arthur Cortes is extremely knowledgeable about the fish and the waters in and around Jamaica Bay, but more importantly, he loves to share information and is very enthusiastic about fishing. He answers every question in great detail and leaves you very satisfied, a rare quality hard to come by in most captains. He tried hard and made sure we found the fish and we ended up catching a bunch of force albacores, couple of Spanish mackerels and a Bonito. Will definitely go out with him again and strongly recommend his charter.

  Great Guide and Fishing

  3/4 Day Trip on May 24, 2024 • 2 adults

  Arthur did an excellent job on all fronts. Caught a ton of fish. I’ve used a number of guides through Fishing Broker, all of them great, but he is at the top. Great service, genuinely a nice guy, easy to get to/from, nice boat and equipment. Will definitely be back!

  Beat the Heat on the Water

  3/4 Day Trip on June 23, 2024 • 2 adults

  Arthur was a great captain. He got all 3 of us on fish even though the fish were a little hard to find. When it's 95 in the city, it's only 85 on the water; great way to beat the heat with a fun and friendly guide.

  Great captain, great boat, great fishing

  Half Day Trip on April 23, 2022 • 2 adults

  Being an angler in Manhattan, you don’t expect to do much fishing. Your usually limited to a crowded public park or pulling shopping carts out of the East River. However after discovering Captain Cortez charter, I finally found a way to fish how I want when I want. A quick 30 min drive from the city puts you in a landscape anglers only dream of having targeting a variety of species in a small boat ideal for serious fisherman and novices alike. I would recommend this charter to anyone and will be going again soon.
