His large boat is extremely comfortable and takes around six people, I cannot think of a better way to spend a couple of hours, in the luxury of a beautiful boat enjoying the magnificent waters of the East End. My friend and I booked the charter for a two hour trip, Captain John was very accommodating and took us at the last minute, and it was the highlight of our stay on Shelter Island. I highly recommend booking Tubby's charters, you won't be sorry! We are already planning a repeat trip with a group of friends as soon as Captain John has space to take us as he is very fully booked as many people go back for return trips year after year. Thank you, Captain John , you rock!

We booked a very last minute sail with Eric. He was so flexible and easy going! We arrived with our…read moregroup of 10 which included 6 children of various ages. Eric's boat was clean and comfortable. Big basket of snacks for everyone and a cooler with drinks too. Eric was patient and kind with the kids and let them steer too! He also played the role of lifeguard after we stopped to swim near Shelter Island. Take your family out on a charter with Eric while you're in the Hamptons. It was so so nice!!

This was a very interesting and relaxing two hour cruise…read more I surprised my wife with a sunset cruise hosted by Bedell Winery. The cruise had 3 offerings of their specialty wines, a nice red, white and sparkling wine along with all you can each shrimp and freshly shucked oysters. If you couldn't consume shellfish, they offered a charcuterie box from Mamma Lombardis. Pretty nice offerings Bedell! Parking was easy peasy, the train station lot had plenty of available parking. Once we boarded, we each grabbed a wine glass and headed to the upper deck. My wife, looking so elegant in her summer dress, it was just a perfect night for a romantic cruise on Long Island. You don't have to call me late for dinner, I saw the crew carrying the oyster aft (that's the back of the boat for you non sailing Yelpers) I grabbed a plate and loaded up with a nice amount of shrimp with cocktail sauce as well as oysters. Ever try sail while trying to keep cocktail sauce off my white silk Tommy Bahama shirt? I did it because I have mad skill. I noticed the couple next to me, I made small talk with the guy. This woman, she must of eaten 2 dozen oysters! And I dig that! Enjoy yourself, don't hold back. I had about 6 oysters, a good amount of shrimp and a quite a few glasses of Bedell wines. The captain of the boat did something very cool. He brought the ship very close to lighthouse for a perfect picture spot. Could this night get any better? Here's where and I hope Bedell reads this review. You have the perfect opportunity to talk to all the guests and sell your winery! There should of been bottles of the wine we tasted for sale as well as baskets filled with wines & cheeses, raffles to come back to the vineyard for a tasting, shirts, glasses, Bedell things for sale. It sounds like you need me to take over this area of responsibility. ABC, always be closing. Wine is for closers! The guy pouring the wine was swamped with everyone at once saying: Gimme! A back up sales person, a closer would have sealed the deal. Other than that, if you see The Peconic Star offering sunset cruises, it's something I highly recommend.

The captain worked very hard to find fish, constantly moving and putting us on productive spots…read more The crew was also helpful and worked hard handling the gear and fish. My main concern was safety during the return trip. Because of an approaching storm, we returned a day early and traveled about 12 hours, roughly 140 miles offshore, in winds of 30-35 mph and high seas. The boat was rocking heavily, and people were being thrown from their bunks. I caught the person next to me when he was thrown into the air, fortunately preventing a serious injury. There was also heavy drinking and marijuana use among passengers. My concern is not about people having a good time--it's about safety when you're that far offshore in rough seas at night. There was no safety briefing explaining what to do in an emergency, how to secure the bunk guards, or where life jackets were located. I had to figure out the bunk guards myself and help other passengers. The life jackets were on the upper deck, which could be difficult to reach during a blackout or emergency. I've been around boats most of my life, but not everyone has that experience. The fishing and crew were good, but safety and communication need to be improved. When you're 140 miles offshore, safety must come first.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I booked a fishing…read morecharter for 7:00 AM and arrived at 6:50 AM, only to find the boat had already left. When I called, the captain was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional, claiming they "left at 6:45 because nobody showed up." There was no instruction anywhere in the booking confirmation or website about needing to arrive early or check in ahead of time. If an earlier arrival was required, it should have been clearly communicated. Instead, I was left standing on the dock watching my paid trip disappear -- and then got blamed for it. This is terrible customer service and a total lack of accountability. If this is how they treat paying customers, I strongly suggest booking elsewhere.
