Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain and Mate definitely made this trip personable. They didn’t hold back from treating us like family. Took a second for me to learn the fishing lingo but Miles was more than patient in showing me the ropes. My son loves Captains way about him what can ya say he is authentically him. The fishing was great caught amazing striper and some blue fish. I honestly think this trip wouldn’t have been the same without Captain Vinnie and Miles. Captain is genuine and was a gentleman for sure. Coming back in spring time booking soon

What an awesome experience to fish with the Statue of Liberty on my left and the skyscrapers of Manhattan on my right. It was a beautiful morning and Captain Vinnie was great at setting us up and helping us catch with some live bait. I’ve fished a few times before but I’ve never caught fish this big before! He and his wife were also really accommodating and helpful with all aspects of this trip. I can’t wait to come back to NY and fish again!
