Thanks to Captain Stanley’s accommodating nature, we postponed our evening charter due to high winds. We went out the next morning for a calm, cool charter. Capt Stanley and John took every measure to maximize our chances of getting some keeper flounder. We had some close to keeper size but not luck. Nonetheless, the trio was gorgeous and fun. Definitely would go out again.

We had an unforgettable time with Water Wolves Charter in Atlantic City! Captain Mike was top-notch—friendly, fun, and full of knowledge. He made the trip enjoyable from start to finish and took the time to explain things, share stories, and answer all our questions with genuine patience. The boat was comfortable, the energy was great, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time. Whether you're new to fishing or have plenty of experience, this charter is a must. Highly recommend—easily a 10/10!

Captain Mark treated us like family from the moment we stepped aboard. Even though it wasn’t the best day for fishing conditions, he still put us on the fish and shared some of his favorite flounder spots. His passion for what he does was obvious, and his crewmate Kurt brought great energy and care; especially when it came to making sure my grandfather was comfortable and included in the fun. We ended up with some keepers, and Captain Mark filleted them right there at the dock, even offering tips on how to best cook them. The experience was exceptional in every sense of the word. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, do it with these guys. You won’t regret it.
