Nearfall charters is the best around! Captain Joe and his Crew will take care of you and your group from start to finish. They’re knowledgeable and will make sure they’re giving you the best opportunity to catch as many fish as you can. If you’re looking for a boat for a small group where you don’t have to deal with the crowds, this is the perfect option. The deck it a great space for private groups. Highly recommend anyone book a trip in the Nearfall.

Could not have asked for a better day of fishing. Captain Joe was awesome. Not only was he knowledgeable about the area and where to fish, he was personable and informative. He took us out right at sunrise, we had hooks in the water and pulling in keeper Sea Bass before we knew it. Captain Joes brother Mitch was there to assist on deck while we fished which was super helpful. I am not an avid fisherman by any stretch of the imagination but the Captain and crew of Nearfall made me feel like I was family, answering questions and assisting every step of the way. I completely recommend Nearfall Fishing Charters to anyone looking for a fun full day of fishing!!

Great day fishing for Seabass!! Full boat limit by 9:45AM! Captain Joe made a few moves and the fish kept getting bigger and bigger! Topped off the box with some Ling to fill the freezer. First mate Mike kept busy pulling fish off the hooks and bait coming all morning. Looking forward to the next trip!

Had a great time fishing on the Nearfall for sea bass. Captain Joe does an excellent job navigating and making sure to to give his customers the best possible chances for catching fish. Me and my family were able to haul in 70 sea bass all in a few hours thanks to Joe's navigating. Additionally, the boat was spacious, clean, and had plenty of room to keep belongings dry and protected. I highly recommend Nearfall Fishing Charters to anyone looking to have a great time and have the best opportunity to catch fish.

Went out today with this team at Near Fall. They were great , even offered to take us out a little early and stayed late trying to get a few more bites at the end of the day. I had my two sons with me, 10 and 12, and they were great with them. Helped them all day and were laughing with them having a great time. 5 star experience all around, highly recommend them. Thanks so much

BEST fishing trip ever. My son's and I sailed off to catch some seabass and Captain Joe and the Nearfall did not disappoint us. We caught our limit (10 each) and then some. Honestly I got tired of putting bait back on my hooks after catch after catch. Captain Joe has top knowledge of the Jersey waters and his mate, Matt was superb helping all of us and teaching the proper technique. The Nearfall is clean and spacious that made the trip even more enjoyable. No need to search other charters, the NEAR FALL is all you need. Thanks again Joe and Matt!
