Why book with us?

  • While there are many great boats on LBI we are one of the faster charter boats in the area. What does that mean for you? Less time running and more time fishing. When the seas are calm, and as long as its safe, we like to run anywhere from 30-35 knots. That means we are getting the grounds quicker, and can stay longer.

Fishing Gear

  • All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided.

  • You may bring your own rod/reel if appropriate for the target species.

  • If you use our tackle with your personal gear (except bottom fishing), you are responsible for lost gear.

Fish Cleaning

  • We clean fluke and sea bass at the dock while refueling/unloading when possible, however time is limited at the dock; we will filet what we can during that window.

  • For tuna trips, especially with a mate onboard, we will work to have all fish cleaned before you leave.

  • Bring large coolers for tuna trips: a 50-lb yellowfin yields ~25 lbs of meat and easily fills a small cooler.

Tuna Limits

  • Yellowfin: 3 per person (27” minimum)

  • Bluefin: 2 per boat (1 between 27-47”, 1 between 47-72”)

  • Crew is happy to take home any leftover meat only if you don’t want it.
