Tim was fantastic!! We rented the pontoon for a friend’s 30th birthday. We wanted this to be special and Tim did not disappoint!! On the contrary, he was so pleasant to work with, super accommodating, even brought the boat out early so we can decorate it!! We started later than anticipated due to our prep and still, Tim gave us extra time on the boat!! Offered to take cool pictures, and most importantly, he brought the boat all the way to Red Bank where the winds would be calmer. The boat was clean! On top of all that, Tim provided an ice box with water, snacks, paper towel and what not, AND a boom box/karaoke machine, was so fun!! We couldn’t have imagined a better 30th birthday on the river! We definitely recommend Tim and his boat! Thank you Tim!! @sandyhookcharters

The perfect sunset cruise! So worth it!
October 9, 2024
What a great Sunday spent on the water. Decided we wanted to do something different with the kids (and our plus one child) so we got in touch with Tim from @sandyhookcharters. Early in the week we decided we would do some fishing, unfortunately the winds didn’t cooperate with those plans. But Tim didn’t disappoint. Instead he planned a whole afternoon of site seeing along the rivers and followed it up with the mansions in the Rumson area, including Jon Bon Jovi’s recently sold house. Some of these houses look like hotels!! He definitely knows his history of the area too! We all had a great day and by the end of our cruise, the winds died down and we could have stayed out there longer. Thank you Tim at Sandy Hook Charters for a fun family day on the water. We will be back once it warms up so we can enjoy some time in the water too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
