Spend a memorable day on the water with Captain Chris Spencer, your local guide to Barnegat Bay and New Jersey’s coastal waters. With decades of experience in the area, Captain Chris knows the bay’s quiet coves, scenic shoreline, island stops, and favorite places to enjoy a day afloat. Whether you are planning a family outing, a relaxing cruise, or time on the water with friends, each trip is shaped around your group and the kind of day you want to have.

Choose from a range of ways to enjoy the bay. Take in the views on a peaceful sunset cruise, visit an island, stop at a sandbar, or add tubing or wakeboarding for an active day. Fishing trips are also available, with opportunities to pursue striped bass in New Jersey waters and tuna offshore. If you are new to boating or fishing, Captain Chris can help you feel comfortable; experienced guests can enjoy time on the water with a captain who knows the local area. The pace and plans depend on your chosen trip and current conditions.

Your safety and comfort come first. Captain Chris is a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain, and the vessel is fully insured and equipped with Coast Guard-approved safety gear for guests of all ages. Weather-aware planning helps the captain make decisions with conditions and safety in mind. Fuel, bait, tackle, rods, ice, and coolers are included, so you can focus on enjoying your time on the water. Optional tubing is available for $50, and floats can be added for $50.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, spending the day with family, or simply looking for a fresh way to experience Barnegat Bay, Captain Chris offers a personal, locally guided outing. Bring your group aboard, take in the New Jersey scenery, and choose the kind of day that suits you, from a laid-back cruise to an active day on the bay. Contact the captain to discuss your plans and find the trip that fits your group.
