Step aboard Janie K Sport Fishing, where every trip out of Keyport, New Jersey is an opportunity to unwind, connect with nature, and reel in great catches with a skilled crew that knows these waters inside and out. Whether you're seeking a laid-back family outing or chasing striped bass and bluefish with your fishing buddies, Captain Jay and his team are ready to show you a memorable day on the water.
Offering 4, 6, and 8-hour private fishing trips for 1 to 4 guests, Janie K Sport Fishing provides a smooth, fully equipped experience from start to finish. All rods, bait, and tackle are included in the price, and the boat comes complete with a cabin and porta-potty for your convenience. Trips can range from exciting inshore runs to deeper waters near the Mud Hole, depending on conditions and your group’s preferences. Whether it’s early morning striped bass runs or summertime fluke fishing, Captain Jay will guide you to the action with professionalism and passion.
Guests must be at least 10 years old to join a trip. If you’re planning to bring younger anglers, just reach out to the captain before booking. Safety and comfort are always top priorities, and while no captain can promise nonstop action, you can count on the Janie K crew to do everything they can to find fish and help you have a great time doing it.
To help keep the experience safe and enjoyable for everyone, we do have a few important policies in place. Please note that beer and wine coolers are welcome, but limited to six per person. Hard alcohol and any illegal substances are strictly prohibited. If any prohibited items are brought aboard, the trip will be ended immediately, and local authorities will be contacted. Your cooperation ensures that all guests enjoy their day to the fullest without risk or disruption.
We reserve the right to cancel or postpone any trip due to unsafe sea conditions or high winds. Your safety comes first, and if a trip is canceled, we’ll work with you to reschedule at a later date. A deposit is required at the time of booking, and the remaining balance must be paid in full before departure. Cancellations must be made at least seven days before your scheduled trip to qualify for a refund. Trips called short by the captain due to weather or safety issues, or by guests for personal reasons, will not be refunded.
Call or text Captain Jay at 973-219-1626 to secure your spot on the Janie K today. Let’s go fishing—and make memories that’ll last long after the tide rolls out.
