Took my 3 kids (7, 8 & 10 y/o). Syd knew exactly where to fish and very knowledgeable. I wanted to help the kids but Syd was all over it. Baiting their hooks, helping them reel in, taking pictures… he was great (and extremely busy). Caught tons of Seabass on the inshore trip. Wasn’t expecting to fish myself but that’s what I did and it was the first time I relaxed fishing with 3 boys. We even made an impromptu stop to go clamming (at the kids request). Can’t recommend him highly enough.

My son has wanted to go fishing in the ocean for a couple of years now. For his 10th birthday on July 23, we decided to gift him a fishing trip, and I am incredibly grateful that we found this Captain and his charter service.

From start to finish, the experience was absolutely top-notch. The Captain’s boat and the fishing equipment were immaculate and very comfortable, making the entire experience enjoyable. The dock was easy to locate, and the Marina itself was very nice, which added to the overall pleasant atmosphere.

The Captain himself was amazing. He was communicative and informative prior to the trip and once we boarded his boat. He was incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly, making us feel like we were out fishing with an old friend rather than someone we had just met. He took the time to show my son how to fish for flounder and allowed him to reel in the fish that were caught during the lesson, creating an unforgettable and hands-on learning experience for him.

Despite the weather taking a surprising turn and pouring rain for at least an hour, it didn’t dampen our spirits one bit. The fish were biting, and we were having a great time, proving just how exceptional this charter service is. We caught a lot of fish and enjoyed every minute of it.

I highly recommend this fishing boat charter to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure on the ocean. The Captain’s expertise, hospitality, and the overall experience are unparalleled. My son had an incredible birthday, and we created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for an outstanding day on the water!

This is our 2nd trip. Captain Syd’s professionalism and expertise ensured a fantastic outing on the water.

Captain Syd’s knowledge of the local waters was evident as he navigated us to prime fishing spots. Throughout the trip, he was attentive, offering tips and tricks to help us improve our fishing techniques. His enthusiasm and passion for fishing were contagious, making the experience even more enjoyable.

In addition to the great fishing, the overall atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. Captain Syd’s easy-going nature and sense of humor created a fun and memorable day on the water. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.
I highly recommend booking a fishing trip Captain Syd in Ocean City, NJ. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, Captain Syd’s experience, knowledge, and hospitality guarantee a fantastic fishing adventure. I can’t wait for our next trip with him!

Had a group of six adults out for a 5 hr trip to target Summer Flounder and Black Sea Bass.  The groups previous fishing experience ranged from brand new to seasoned. Captain took the time to educate everyone on board in the proper techniques required to catch fish.

He even gave some one on one time with me to give me some tip on tog fishing, which was outside our intended target fish but had to possibly of catching. I previously had little experience with tog fishing and his coaching helped me to catch a small tog.

Overall a great experience! Everyone on board had a great day on the water and I would recommend this boat and captain to others.

Capt Syd and crew made the whole morning a great experience! Capt Syd made sure all anglers on the boat were safe and on the fish! Would recommend any time and will be back
